Health benefits of bananas

A medium-sized banana provides about a quarter of your daily vitamin B6 needs.
Vitamin B6Â helps with the following:
- Produce red blood cells,
- Metabolise carbohydrates and fats and turns them into energy,
- Metabolise amino acids,
- Removes unwanted chemicals from your liver and kidneys.
Good for the your skin
A medium-sized banana provides about 13% of your daily manganese needs. Manganese is responsible for collagen production. This protects your skin and other cells against damage from free radicals.

Bananas contain natural sugars like sucrose, fructose, and glucose. These natural sugars provide a fat and cholesterol-free source of energy.
This makes bananas ideal for midday snacks or breakfasts.Â
