Healthy Snack-Banana Video

In order to have a healthy lifestyle, you have to meet your daily requirement of five fruits and vegetables. Bananas are a perfect part of your diet and they are the most popular fruit in America. Bananas are available all year and they are a great source of instant energy whether you are watching your diet or just trying to eat healthy. Like other fruits and vegetables, bananas contain no fat, sodium or cholesterol. It is a known fact that a low fat, balanced diet rich in vegetables and fruit may reduce the risk of heart disease and certain types of cancer.



Bananas are rich in vitamin B6 and they are a good source of fiber, vitamin C, magnesium and potassium. Lack of B6 in a diet can cause weakness, irritability and insomnia. The potassium found in bananas helps to regulate blood pressure and may reduce the risk of high blood pressure and stroke. Potassium is also essential for helping muscles to contract properly during exercise and reduces cramping up. A medium-sized banana provides 400 mg of potassium -11% of daily value- and contains 110 calories and 4 grams of fiber. Bananas also contain plenty of carbohydrates which are the body's main source of energy. They are also easy to digest.


Because of their great taste, they can also serve as a substitute for sweets and satisfy sugar cravings.

hoshikisu: i do frozen grapes they taste just like ice cream!! the only down side is dont let them defrost they become mushy and gross. so i just take like 1/3 of the grapes i buy, put them in plastic bowl,keep them in the freezer. when they start to unfreeze i just put them back.

jannali09: Oh, Banana isnt good to eat when you make diet. Because bananas have much fruitsugar... My Personal-Trainer told me, that i have not to eat Banana. Better fresh vegetable and when fruit, then like strawberries or watermelon... ;-)

crissyfab: I do frozen grapes too but what I do is take black cherry sugar free jello mix and after washing the grapes I put them in a big Ziploc freezer bag and pour the jello mix on them, then I shake it all around to make sure they get all coated and I freeze them.
