Banana is a tasty, filling and, at first glance, ideal fruit for breakfast.

It turns out to be very convenient: you don’t need to cook anything, you just need to peel the fruit and eat it.

As a result, a person saves time and gets a boost of energy.

It would seem that everything suggests that bananas should be consumed in the morning.

But it's not that simple. It turns out that the popular tropical fruit can't be eaten for breakfast.

Why Bananas Are Not Suitable for Morning Meal

These fruits are high in magnesium.

This microelement is important for the human body. First of all, for the cardiovascular and nervous systems.

However, consuming large amounts of magnesium in the morning can cause a disruption in the calcium-magnesium balance.

Therefore, you should not eat bananas for breakfast.

If you still want to eat this tropical fruit in the morning, at least do not do it on an empty stomach. First, enjoy a full breakfast (for example, an omelet or oatmeal) and only then eat bananas.

For reference

Banana is the name of the edible fruit of the cultivated plants of the genus Banana (Musa); usually these include Musa acuminata and Musa × paradisiaca, as well as Musa balbisiana, Musa fehi, Musa troglodytarum and a number of others.
