Bananasssss

Loaded with potassium, bananas are an amazing electrolyte! There's two types of people in this world - green banana eaters and brown banana eaters. So what's the difference?! Bananas chemically alter when they ripen. More green bananas have a highly resistant starch content. So glucose is not released in the small intestine rather in the large intestine (helps with nutrient absorption). This can often leave you a little bit bloated and gasyyyy!! Brown bananas, however, convert a lot of that resistant starch into sugar. The simple sugar can be digested quicker so the energy can be used quicker (high glycemic index). Brown bananas also have a higher content of antioxidants so that's cool. 

They're good at sooting your digestive system because they got a lot o pectins (soluble fiber) 

Bananas help stop cramps? Since bananas are loaded with potassium (electrolyte), they help your cells retain water. This keeps you hydrated. Hydration keeps you from cramping. Keep everything in motion with some banana commotion.

Sometimes people see bananas as a super sugary fruit that they're afraid of. But don't be afraid. Bananas give you energy!! So use it. Go bananas.
