Unexpected health benefits of boiled bananas

Helps lower blood sugar

Thanh Nien newspaper quoted the medical website WebMD as saying that boiled bananas are a very good source of resistant starch. Resistant starch has been scientifically proven to reduce blood sugar levels by slowing the release of glucose into the blood.

Improve gut health

Boiled bananas are a rich source of fiber, which is important for preventing constipation and maintaining digestive health.

Improve cardiovascular health

VietNamNet newspaper quoted physician Do Minh Tuan of the Hanoi Oriental Medicine Association as advising that potassium in boiled bananas can help reduce blood pressure by counteracting the effects of sodium. High blood pressure is a major risk factor for heart disease.

Additionally, the fiber in boiled bananas may also reduce the risk of heart disease by reducing cholesterol levels and inflammation.

Reduce the risk of stroke

Boiled green bananas become a rich source of antioxidants, which promote nitric oxide production in the body and dilate blood vessels.

This process not only improves blood circulation but also provides much needed oxygen and nutrients to the organs, especially the brain.

Therefore, consuming green bananas can significantly reduce the risk of stroke.

Preventing duodenal cancer

Green bananas contain many probiotic bacteria that are beneficial for health and maintain balance in the small intestine. When boiled, this fruit helps to destroy harmful bacteria and create a favorable environment for beneficial bacteria in the small intestine to function.

Slow down the aging process

Boiled green bananas contain antioxidants. At the same time, vitamin C in green bananas is an important nutrient for collagen production in the body, maintaining beautiful skin and preventing aging.

Protect bone health

Green bananas contain a lot of fructooligosaccharides - which enhance the digestion and absorption of calcium in the body. Therefore, eating boiled green bananas has a positive effect in strengthening the skeletal system and making teeth stronger.

Not only that, bananas are rich in potassium and magnesium - two substances that are beneficial for pain relief and preventing calcification of bones and joints. In particular, potassium plays an important role in preventing sodium accumulation in the body, maintaining calcium and phosphorus balance. Thanks to that, bone loss and osteoporosis are improved.
