Bananas are a good source of vitamin B6 and provide ten percent of the recommended daily intake of vitamin C. However, experts advise against eating just one banana for breakfast.
High fructose content leads to cravings, fatigue and loss of concentration
Banana fans need not be sad, the solution lies in the combination
This is how bananas become a real energy kick on the breakfast table
Bananas for breakfast – pure or in muesli: For many people, fruit in the morning is a matter of course that contributes decisively to a healthy lifestyle. Along with apples, kiwis or pears, bananas are often part of the first meal of the day. But this is a mistake.
Breakfast tip: Do not eat bananas in the morning – nutrition expert warns
Especially bananas are considered very healthy, because they provide the body with a lot of potassium, magnesium and vitamin B6. Especially athletes often use bananas before and during exercise as a quick, tasty and healthy source of energy. But an expert now warns against eating bananas for breakfast.
British nutrition expert Dr. Daryl Gioffre warns against the yellow “super fruit” in his Internet blog “Byrdie”. He writes, “Bananas are about the worst thing you can eat for breakfast.” His reasoning sounds plausible.
Bananas for breakfast: the combination has to be right
Bananas have a very high natural fructose content (circa 25 percent), making them a quick source of energy. According to Gioffre, however, the disadvantage is even greater: the fructose causes the insulin level to skyrocket in no time at all, but it drops again just as quickly afterwards. The consequences are ravenous appetite, fatigue and loss of concentration.
Another disadvantage of the high sugar content is that it ferments during digestion and is converted into alcohol. This creates acids that burden the body. It has been proven that hyperacidity can trigger inflammatory processes in the body and promote conditions such as osteoarthritis or gout.
But there is also good news for banana fans. According to Gioffre, the negative effects of bananas can be compensated. The solution lies in the right combination: If you always combine bananas with healthy fat or with herbs and spices, you can neutralize the acid during metabolism.
