Weight Loss
Finding foods to fit into your weight-loss diet can be
challenging, but bananas make a perfect fit. Bananas are naturally sweet and
can help curb your sweet tooth if you get that afternoon sugar craving. A
6-inch banana has a minimal 90 calories, about one-fourth of the calories you
would get from a chocolate candy bar. Additionally, about half of the fiber
content in bananas is soluble. When soluble fiber reaches your digestive tract,
it absorbs water and slows digestion. Food is forced to sit in your stomach for
a while, making you feel full. If you have a banana before lunch, you'll be
less likely to overeat when your food comes to the table.
