3. Aids Digestion
Fiber is well-known for its benefits to the digestive system. Not only are bananas rich in fiber, but they are a good source of specific types of fiber that are good for gut health and encourage healthy digestion. Unripe bananas create resistant starch which is not digested entirely but is fermented in the intestine by bacteria.
This fermented substance has significant benefits for the digestive system and the intestines in particular.
In addition, ripe bananas contain a fiber known as pectin which manages healthy blood sugar levels by preventing the digestion of sugars to occur too quickly.
