8. Give yourself the gift of extra brain power
Give your body a little extra brain power (and willpower) by adding a banana to your breakfast. The fiber-filled food is also a healthy carb. Your body breaks down the carbs to create energy. The sugars give your brain a boost and the fiber keeps you fuller longer.
9. Eat a banana to speed nicotine withdrawal
If you’ve got a hangover or you’re trying to kick the habit, you can make recovery a bit easier by noshing on a banana. The yellow fruit contains loads of magnesium and potassium, both of which your body needs to recover from nicotine withdrawal. The boost of sugar in the fruit can help give you a bit of energy too.
10. Ease morning sickness
Bananas are gentle on the tummy, which is really great when you’re feeling a bit queasy. You’ll get a major dose of vitamins and minerals without sending your already crummy tummy into a tailspin.
