Banana;- High Energy Fruit

Sport enthusiasts appreciate the potassium-power delivered by this high energy fruit.


Bananas are one of the best sources of potassium necessary for maintaining normal blood pressure and heart function. Additionally one banana a day can protect against atherosclerosis.

The potassium in the bananas counteract this calcium loss and indirectly help to promote bone health. Bananas help to build stronger bones by increasing the absorption of calcium.
