4 Essential Minerals & Vitamins in Bananas

 

 

Manganese

Manganese is one of the less glamorous minerals on the nutrition label of mineral supplements. Usually listed way down at the bottom, it’s no wonder we tend to forget that we need it. According to the Linus Pauling Institute at Oregon State University, bananas are one of the best sources of manganese.
Manganese helps to encourage wound healing and jumpstarts your metabolism, so bananas make an ideal post-workout snack. Some of the institute’s research also suggests that people who regularly consume food with manganese have lower rates of stroke, heart attack, osteoporosis, and other ailments that we’re all motivated to avoid.

Vitamin B6

Bananas are also rich in vitamin B6, a crucial element of any healthy diet. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) suggests that adults try to get about a milligram and a half of B6 each day. A banana can give you about a third of that in one fell swoop.
The absorption rate of B6 in dietary supplements doesn’t come close to that of food-based B6. Noshing on a banana once a day can reduce your rates of certain kinds of cancer and improve cognitive function. For women, B6 may reduce premenstrual syndrome symptoms. It also significantly reduces morning sickness during pregnancy.
Vitamins in the B family can be tough to get if you’re a vegetarian, so look to bananas to help bridge the gap if you abstain from animal products.

Copper

You only need a smudge of dietary copper to get your recommended daily allotment, and bananas put you well on the way to achieving that goal. Copper pairs with iron to help stimulate red blood cell development. Bananas are one of several foods that are good sources of copper.

Vitamin C

Oranges and other citrus get all the attention for being great sources of vitamin C, but bananas are chock full of it, too. A medium-sized fruit has about 15 percent of your daily requirements, so just one at breakfast puts you well on the way to getting enough vitamin C for the day.
Vitamin C boosts immunity to colds, reduces inflammation, and slows the aging of skin. So don’t skimp. New research coming out of University of Kansas shows that vitamin C can even kill cancer cells.
