Bananas, a natural source of energy for the whole family
According to Dr. Sohaib Imtiaz, a clinical nutritionist at the American Institute of Health, bananas are a rich choice in potassium that helps maintain the functioning of the nervous system, cardiovascular and muscular system. An average banana contains about 422 mg of potassium, while yellow kiwi has 315 mg and green kiwi is 312 mg. Potassium helps regulate blood pressure, heart rate and support stable muscle function.
In addition, bananas contain calcium, magnesium and phosphorus, which help strengthen bones, improve circulation and reduce fatigue. For children, bananas are easy to digest, provide energy and support digestion well. Elderly people eating bananas help stabilize blood pressure and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. For people who are active, bananas are an ideal post-workout snack that helps restore energy, reduce muscle pain and increase endurance.
Kiwi, a golden fruit for sleep and resistance
While bananas are considered a quick source of energy, kiwi stands out for their ability to support immunity and improve sleep. Kiwi is rich in vitamins C, E, folic acid and melatonin, which help increase resistance, reduce fatigue and support the body to recover from stress.
According to studies, eating two kiwis before bed helps you sleep better, improves sleep quality and stay alert the next morning. Kiwi is also a good choice for dieters, because it is low in calories but high in fiber, helping to create a feeling of fullness for a long time and supporting weight control.
Dr. Imtiaz recommends combining both fruits in your daily diet to optimize nutrition for the whole family. Bananas are suitable for morning or after exercise, while kiwis should be used in the evening to support sleep. Bananas and kiwis both have their own roles in a healthy diet. When you know how to use them at the right time, they will help the whole family maintain good health, energy and well- spirit," Dr. Imtiaz emphasized.
