Experts share how to eat bananas for good health

It is not advisable to eat bananas on an empty stomach, as it can affect blood sugar levels, according to India TV News.

Nutritionist Lauren Manaker (in the US) said: Although bananas are very nutritious and provide a quick source of energy in the morning, the high sugar content can lead to a rapid increase in blood sugar if you only eat bananas on an empty stomach.

Bananas have countless health benefits.

Additionally, some people may experience stomach pain, bloating, and acidity problems if they eat bananas on an empty stomach in the morning.

Therefore, it is best to eat bananas with other foods.

Nutritionist Jennifer Maeng, founder of Chelsea Nutrition Center (USA), suggests eating a banana combined with a few other things.

Nutritionist Jennifer Maeng says the body naturally increases blood sugar in the morning and produces more insulin to balance blood sugar levels, so it's best to avoid foods high in simple carbohydrates and low in fiber like ripe bananas at this time.

The Healthiest Way to Eat Bananas

Both experts Manaker and Maeng recommend it's best to combine bananas with sources of fiber, protein, and fat, especially for people with blood sugar issues, according to health news site Well And Good.

It's best to pair bananas with healthy fats or proteins.

For those with sensitive digestive systems or who need to control their blood sugar, combining bananas with foods containing healthy fats, proteins, or fiber can help reduce side effects and release energy more evenly. So eat bananas with peanut butter, whole grain bread for a more balanced snack.

Good time to eat bananas

Bananas can be eaten at any time of the day, so that the body can absorb all the nutrients well, helping to stay full of energy throughout the day.

And 1-2 bananas a day is fine for most people. Just keep in mind that if you eat them in the morning on an empty stomach, you should eat them with protein or fat to support stable energy levels.

As for the best time to eat bananas, some studies show that a banana before bed can help you fall asleep faster.
