Men and women who want to lose extra pounds may avoid sweet fruits, such as bananas, believing that the fruit contains too many calories.
Surgeon Karan Raj noted that lovers of such fruits do not need to remove them from their diet.
He recommended paying attention to unripe bananas.
As the specialist explained, such fruits contain resistant starch, the principle of which in the body is similar to the work of dietary fiber.
This means that the product has a positive effect on the condition of the intestines, reports the Huffington Post .
But that's not all the benefits.
Raj added that such bananas are low in calories, do not increase blood glucose levels, and are also useful for diabetics and those losing weight.
When a banana ripens, the starch turns into carbohydrates.
But this does not mean that it is harmful to health. It is also necessary to take into account that the more ripe and brown the banana, the more antioxidants it contains.
