When we are stressed, the level of potassium in the body is reduced. The banana, rich in this mineral can help re-balancing this potassium in the body. Besides ensuring satiety for more time and controlling hunger a little, banana helps for the well-being.

Banana is among the most consumed fruits by the athletes. It also presents a very important substance which is Tryptophan, an amino-acid which is the precursor of serotonin that is closely related to humor, sleep and welfare. An important substance to fight against depression.

The aqueous extract obtained from banana peels is a candidate for the formulation of pharmaceutical products/cosmetics to promote the healing of skin fighting against the photoaging caused by the UVB radiation.
