3 Reasons to Go Bananas!

Do you find yourself getting tired during the morning? The solution to having more energy may be as simple as eating a banana! Here are three reasons why a banana can be a great pick-me-up that fits right into a healthy weight-loss plan:

1. Eating a banana will raise your energy level by 20 percent for two hours straight, according to Tufts University researchers.

2. Bananas are a good source of potassium, which stimulates your muscles, nerves and brain cells, and as a bonus, can also help reduce blood pressure and risk of stroke.

3. Bananas are high in fiber and low in calories—one medium banana has only about 110 calories—so they'll fill you up fast and keep you regular too!

Try chopping up a banana into your morning cereal, or take one along wherever you go for a tasty and energy-enhancing early morning snack.
