Can diabetics eat green bananas

Kiều Vũ (Theo Diabetes Care) |

Green bananas have many health benefits, especially for certain groups of people, including diabetics.

People with diabetes

Green bananas have a low glycemic index. This means they do not cause a rapid rise in blood sugar levels after eating, which is important for people with diabetes. Research from Diabetes Care suggests that green bananas, thanks to their resistant starch content, may help improve blood sugar control, reducing the risk of diabetes complications. Additionally, green bananas help reduce cravings, which can aid in weight control, an important factor in diabetes management.

People with digestive problems

One of the most notable properties of green bananas is their high content of resistant starch. Resistant starch is not digested in the stomach and small intestine, but instead acts as a soluble fiber, helping to improve digestive function. Resistant starch in green bananas can help increase beneficial bacteria in the gut, promote fermentation, and improve gut health. In particular, green bananas can help reduce constipation symptoms and support digestive-related conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome.

People who want to lose weight

Green bananas are an ideal choice for those who want to lose weight or maintain their weight. The resistant starch content in green bananas helps create a feeling of fullness for a long time, while reducing cravings, thereby helping to control calorie intake. Research from the Journal of Nutrition shows that resistant starch can help reduce belly fat and support the weight loss process more effectively than eating ripe bananas because green bananas have fewer calories and less sugar. Green bananas also provide a lot of fiber, helping to increase metabolism and maintain stability in blood sugar levels.

Adding green bananas to your daily diet can help improve your overall health and help prevent many diseases. However, because green bananas have a slightly astringent taste, when added to your diet, they can be combined in processed dishes such as boiled, stir-fried or processed into smoothies to make them easier to eat.
