10 Benefits of Bananas
Benefit #10: Helps with Bloating
No one likes feeling bloated. It is uncomfortable and makes us feel self-conscious, especially when eating our favorite desserts. Luckily, bananas can help with bloating.
Bananas fight against the gas and water retention that comes with bloating. One recent study found that women who ate a banana twice daily as a pre-meal snack for 60 days reduced their belly-bloat by 50 percent! Why? The fruit increases bloat-fighting bacteria in the stomach, and it’s also a legendarily good source of potassium, which can help diminish retention of fluids.
