4 Reasons to Go Bananas

When you need a healthy snack that satisfies, consider the banana! Not only are bananas portable and easy to eat, but they also provide all sorts of health benefits along the way. Here are four great reasons to appreciate the banana:

1. Bananas contain all eight amino acids that humans' bodies can't make themselves.

2. They're very high in potassium, which can help prevent high blood pressure.

3. Bananas can help keep you regular since they contain pectin, a soluble fiber.

4. Besides eating them on their own, bananas are very versatile—they can be sliced on top of hot or cold cereals, or dipped in dark chocolate for a tasty and nutritious dessert.
