Brown bananas, which are very sweet, cause blood sugar to rise more quickly. Not a big deal, but worth considering if you’re monitoring your blood sugar. The trick? Pair the banana with a little almond puree, plain yogurt, or oatmeal to slow down sugar absorption.
An unexpected concentrate of antioxidants
This is one of the most interesting surprises: the riper the banana, the more antioxidants it contains. These molecules help fight oxidative stress, which is responsible for premature aging of cells.
Among the most present: dopamine (yes, the same one our brain produces) and catechins, well known for protecting the heart. A brown snack… but full of virtues.
More vitamins than you think
As we age, bananas also concentrate key vitamins: vitamin C, to support the immune system, and vitamin B6, essential for proper brain function and the production of serotonin, the happiness hormone.
And what about allergies?
