Bananas are rich in vitamin B6, which is needed for healthy nervous system function. The body needs B6 to make the neurotransmitter GABA, which has a calming effect on the nervous system. Eating potassium-rich foods such as bananas will help promote normal blood pressure and better bone health. Bananas contain resistant starch, a type of fibre that helps support the growth of beneficial gut bacteria, which in turn boosts immune health.
