5. Regulates Blood Sugar
This naturally sweet fruit can slow down the release of glucose in the body and can help maintain healthy sugar levels. Even though the fruit does not contain unrefined sugar which is associated with health problems, not all fruits are created equal for those who have insulin insensitivity, are prediabetic, or have type 2 diabetes.
The fiber in bananas prevents glucose from developing too quickly in the body from the sugar in the fruit.
Pectin is responsible for creating this essential delay which is a reason bananas can make a dieter feel less depleted hours later than other types of fruit.
