Clear blood vessels
Cholesterol is one of the main causes of vascular blockage, leading to atherosclerosis. Bananas contain phytosterols, compounds that help lower blood cholesterol levels and maintain the health of the vascular system.
A healthy stomach
Bananas are recommended for people suffering from stomach ulcers or at risk of developing this condition. They contain a special enzyme that increases mucus secretion, thus protecting the stomach lining.
