10 Benefits of Bananas
Benefit #6: Kidney Disease
Advanced kidney disease is when the kidney is no longer able to filtrate metabolic waste and leads to a toxic build-up of numerous minerals and protein. If untreated, the only treatment for the disease would be a kidney transplant. As mentioned above, bananas have a high amount of potassium, which is beneficial for heart health. This is also beneficial for kidney health.
In a 13-year study, it was determined that women who ate bananas 2–3 times a week were 33% less likely to suffer from kidney disease. In another study, it was determined those who ate the fruit 4–6 times a week were 50% less likely to suffer from the disease. Thus, bananas are definitely the way to go to combat this chronic disease.
