Bananas Nutritious Fruit
Tuesday, February 16, 2010 5:07Banana is a fruit that we can meet anywhere, and the price is very affordable. Actually, this fruit comes from the Latin American continent precisely Brazil, then spread to areas of Africa and Southeast Asia Oceania as well. Especially the more diverse in terms of taste and size, in Southeast Asia because of the fertile soil.
But all this time if we know what substances are contained in a banana?. Here is the energy, vitamin and mineral content contained in a banana.
Energy
Energy value of bananas around 136 calories for every 100 grams, which as a whole comes from carbohydrates.
Energy value of banana twice higher than the apple. Apples with the same weight (100 grams) contains only 54 calories.
Carbohydrates provide energy bananas slightly slower than sugar and syrup, but much faster than rice, biscuits, and a kind of bread. Therefore, many athletes now taking a break or rest banana as energy reserves.
Energy content of banana is instant energy, which is easily available in a short time, so useful in providing a second calorie needs. Banana carbohydrate complex carbohydrate level is moderate and is available in stages, so as to provide energy in a time not too fast. Carbohydrate reserves the banana is a very good energy use and can be quickly available to the body.
Sugar banana is fruit sugar, which is composed of fructose which has a lower glycemic index than glucose, so that pretty well as a store of energy for a little more slowly metabolized. After working hard, or thinking, always arises drowsiness. This situation is a sign of brain energy shortage, so that the biological activity also decreased.
To conduct their activities, the brain needs energy in the form of glucose. Blood glucose is vital for the brain to function properly, such as expressed in the memory capacity.
Glucose was mainly obtained from the brain blood circulation because of glycogen as a glucose reserve is very limited existence.
Blood glucose intake mainly derived from food sources of carbohydrates. Banana is the best alternative for providing energy in times of rest or pause, at the time of the brain in dire need of quick energy available for biological activity.
However, protein and fat content of bananas was not good and is very low, ie only 2.3 per cent and 0.13 per cent. However, fat and protein content of bananas are still higher than the apple, which is only 0.3 percent. Therefore, no need to fear of obesity despite consuming large quantities of bananas.
Minerals
Bananas rich in minerals such as potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, calcium, and iron.
When compared with other types of plant foods, bananas minerals, especially iron, is almost entirely (100 percent) can be absorbed by the body.
Based on the dry weight, iron content of bananas to 2 milligrams per 100 grams and 0.8 mg zinc. Compare with apples, which contains only 0.2 mg of iron and 0.1 mg of zinc to 100 grams weight.
Very high content of vitamins, especially provitamin A, ie beta-carotene, by 45 mg per 100 gram dry weight, while the apple is only 15 mg. Bananas also contain B vitamins, namely thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, and vitamin B6 (piridoxin).
Banana vitamin B6 is high enough, in the amount of 0.5 mg per 100 grams. In addition to functioning as a coenzyme for several reactions in metabolism, vitamin B6 plays a role in protein synthesis and metabolism, especially serotonin. Serotonin is believed to play an active role as a neurotransmitter in the smooth functioning of the brain.
Vitamin B6 also plays a role in energy metabolism from carbohydrates. The role of vitamin B6 was clearly supports the availability of energy for the brain to everyday activities.
