According to a research published in the National Library of Medicine, bananas offer several health benefits due to their rich content of bioactive compounds like phenolic acids and flavonoids. These compounds have strong antioxidant and antiradical properties that help protect the body from oxidative stress. Some phenolics in bananas also demonstrate antiviral, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, anti-diabetic, and anti-cancer effects. Additionally, they may inhibit enzymes linked to conditions such as edema, obesity, hypertension, and cancer, highlighting bananas’ potential role in supporting overall health and well-being.
