The negative effect of banana on the hungry stomach

After all the useful properties of the fruit, I would like to know why you can not eat bananas on an empty stomach? There are not many answers to this question, but they are very clear. Like all fruits, bananas contain a large amount of fructose, which contributes to a sharp rise in blood sugar.

Because they contain a large amount of magnesium, bananas are contraindicated on an empty stomach for people suffering from heart palpitations or heart failure. Due to the imbalance of magnesium, there may be undesirable consequences.

If you follow simple rules, you can choose products that will not only please you with their taste, but also a full complex of vitamins and other useful substances.

Banana, eaten immediately after awakening, will be too heavy for digestion process. The fact is that the adaptation of the body after sleep is a little slower and manifests itself in the insufficient production of enzymes necessary for digesting the cellulose of a banana.

Contraindicated fruits, like everyone else, to persons with lesions of the gastric mucosa( gastritis or peptic ulcer disease).If you take bananas for food in the morning on an empty stomach, they will irritate the walls of the digestive system and cause discomfort and pain in the abdomen.

How to choose the right fruit for a healthy diet

To select bananas that will only have positive effects, you must follow simple rules during purchase:

• the shape of a banana should be streamlined and smooth, not have any bulging mounds;
• peel should be even bright yellow color, without gloss. Otherwise, it is the first sign of fruit treatment with chemicals;
• in case the banana has a greenish tint - a sign of unripeness. The use of such fruits adversely affects the health, since the composition contains a large amount of "heavy" starch, which the intestine can not digest;
• black dots on the skin throughout the fruit indicate its ripeness, but black spots should alert the buyer.

Fruits that have a different shade are also not recommended for use. Most often, the color changes when frostbite, and frozen bananas lose the whole complex of vitamins and minerals.
