Bananas are one of the most popular breakfast options, but experts disagree on whether they are healthy for starting the day.
British nutritionist Daryl Gioffre, known for his recommendations on a low-acid diet, advises against eating bananas in the morning, according to Frankfurter Rundschau.
Their high fructose content can cause blood sugar levels to rise quickly, followed by a drop in energy. He recommends eating bananas only with healthy fats, such as raw almond butter, to stabilise blood sugar levels.
German nutritionist Peggy Schöne disagrees: bananas are a valuable energy source that integrates well into a balanced breakfast.
Combined with oatmeal or dairy products, the banana provides a long-lasting feeling of satiety and thus prevents hunger pangs, according to Schöne.
The German Nutrition Society also sees no reason to avoid bananas in the morning—as long as the overall diet remains balanced.
Eaten alone, bananas are a quick energy booster for many people, especially those who are active in sports.
Whether bananas or not, balance and variety in the diet are crucial, according to the experts.
Those who enjoy a banana as part of a balanced breakfast benefit from its potassium and magnesium, both important minerals for good health.
