The fiber present in bananas reduces the absorption of cholesterol in the intestines, while potassium is essential for heart function. Bananas therefore help maintain cardiovascular health, preventing diseases such as heart attacks, atherosclerosis and strokes.
Prevent colon cancer
Bananas are rich in soluble and insoluble fiber and antioxidants, helping to keep the digestive system healthy and prevent the development of colon cancer, since the fermentation of fiber at an intestinal level produces substances such as butyric acid, which can prevent the development of cancer.
