The aftermath of Banana
Nobody
can deny our love for banana. Despite being in love with banana there are
certain facts that banana can do for you. People says that you are what you eat
so you should really know what kind of food that you are eating.
Today I
will be sharing about the nutritional facts of banana. To begin with, I would
say that you can be real good if you begin your day with a banana. This is
because after waking up from a long sleep (a night sleep is a form of fasting
too) the rate of muscle glycogen in our body will drop.
An expert in diet Matthew Kadey from
MuscleMag said that, by eating a banana in the early morning as a breakfast
this will cause your glycogen stores in your body boost up and avoid any muscle
breakdown from occuring.
Glycogen is a main source of energy for our body, and it provides
an all time prevention from breaking down protein in the muscle tissue as a
replacement if your glycogen stores is low.
-Increasing
Caloric Intake-
For your information, in muscle
building, you have to eat more than you burn( of course good calories), because
good calories will help enhancing body and muscle building. A banana contain
around 121kcal. Banana is really easy to eat and it is also can be added into
your smoothies or shake and etc.
-Additional Potassium-
You should be aware of your vitamins
and minerals intake too! A medium-sized banana contained around 10% of daily
potassium intake of your body. It also plays a big role in the process of
muscle contraction.
A research from Linus Pauling Institute
proved that low potassium intake may cause muscle stretch, fatigue and slow
muscle development.
-A perfect post-workout-
Banana is a good source of carbohydrate
as each of it contained around 31gram for a large-sized. Carbohydrate plays a
crucial role to eat after your workout as it will increase glycogen rate and
helps the merge of protein in your muscle tissue.
As a closure, "The Australian Institute of Sport"
suggest that about 1 gram of carbohydrate for a kg of body. As a suggestion, a
banana would be a good pair with red meat, protein shake or skim milk for an
overall muscle growth development.
