Bananas for breakfast: Three reasons speak against it
-
High fructose content:
Bananas are among the fruits with the highest fructose content. This causes blood sugar levels to rise rapidly. Unfortunately, it falls off just as quickly. Low blood sugar levels then lead to cravings. If the cravings come early in the morning after breakfast, severe fluctuations in blood sugar throughout the day are inevitable and you end up in a vicious circle of constant cravings. -
Fatigue and loss of concentration:
Low blood sugar levels can make you tired and unfocused. -
Hyperacidity of the digestive system:
The sugar content in the banana is fermented during digestion and converted into alcohol. This creates acids that can cause inflammation and put a strain on the organism. As a result, diseases such as osteoarthritis and gout can develop.
When to Eat Bananas Instead
To all banana fans: Don’t worry, you don’t have to do without bananas entirely. It just depends on the right time of day and combination. Bananas are still very healthy. They provide the body with a lot of potassium, magnesium and vitamin B6.
Athletes in particular can benefit from the quickly available carbohydrates in bananas. Before and during exercise, the banana serves as a quick, tasty and healthy source of energy.
The negative effects of the banana can be eliminated with the right combination. Always try to pair bananas with healthy fats or herbs and spices. These can neutralize the acid and support the metabolism of the banana. A banana with some cinnamon or peanuts also tastes even better.
