Not only are bananas convenient as snacks because they're ready-wrapped, but they also deliver a substantial dose of energy within a short period of time. In contrast to other sources, they provide energy that lasts, making them the perfect choice for athletes and anyone seeking energy.
In Medical News Today, bananas contain natural sugars as well as fiber, which makes them an excellent energy source. Natural sugars in bananas provide the body with a quick boost of energy, while fiber helps to slow down the digestion of that sugar. So instead of something that is high in sugar and low in fiber, which produces fast energy that dissipates quickly, the body burns through it at a sustained pace.
In a study published in PLoS One, bananas provided long-distance cyclists the same amount of energy as carb-based energy drinks specifically designed for sports performance, both before and during exercise. When you're lacing up your sneakers next time, buy a banana instead of a pricey commercial drink — it'll do just as well.
