Banana is the most misunderstood fruit for weight watchers. We tell you ways this wonder fruit can actually help you shed some kilos. Here they are:

Since, bananas are loaded with potassium, they help in preventing water retention in your body, which in turn reducing bloating or swelling up of the body. This is one of the best foods for a flatter belly.

Rich in choline and all types of Vitamin B, they prevent the body from storing fat, especially in the tummy area. They do this by accelerating the fat burning process as they affect the fat-storing genes in the body directly.

This is something that most of us face, in spite of eating healthy or resorting to a proper lifestyle, we just can’t give up junk food cravings. Eating a banana when you crave for such unhealthy food is a great way to satiate your hunger and hence lets you avoid junk.

Loaded with all good things, bananas are rich in pro-biotic elements which help the growth of good bacteria in the gut, which indirectly aids in the proper digestion of food, indigestion being the most important reason for weight gain.
