Bananas,

have so many benefits for us, 

why? because they are so good for you! bananas are known to reduce swelling, protect against developing type-2 diabetes, aid in weight loss, strengthen the nervous system and help with production of white blood cells, all due to the high level of vitamin B6 that bananas contain, bananas are high in antioxidants, which can provide protection from free radicals, which we come into contact with every day, from the sunlight to the lotion you put on your skin, bananas are good for your heart, they are packed with potassium, a mineral electrolyte that keeps electricity flowing throughout your body, which is required to keep your heart beating, bananas' high potassium and low sodium content may also help protect your cardiovascular system against high blood pressure, according to the FDA, 2017 animal study conducted by researchers at the University of Alabama found that the potassium in bananas is also linked to arterial effectiveness; the more potassium you have, the less likely your arteries are to harden, in the study, mice with lower-potassium diet had harder arteries than mice consuming a normal amount of potassium, arterial stiffness in humans is linked to heart disease,

and now there is even better news, a team of scientists has reportedly created a genetically-modified ‘superbanana’ that contains significantly more nutrients, especially vitamin A, the Banana21 project was launched in 2005, and after 18 years of investments – the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation alone contributed $11 million – hard work and failed attempts, scientists have finally created a banana capable of saving millions of children’s lives, according to National Geographic, the superbanana is ready to be cultivated, but scientists are still waiting for approval from the local government in Uganda, one of several African countries battling malnutrition, unfortunately, this may be a significant hurdle, considering the strong opposition to the cultivation of genetically modified foods in Uganda, luckily, the problem of Vitamin A deficiency has all but disappeared in economically-developed countries, and hopefully perhaps the benefits of this ‘superbanana’ will outweigh the objections to it.
