CHAPTER I
INTRODUCING
1.1 Background of the paper
Bananas are a type of fruit that grows on a large herbaceous plant that is native to Southeast
Asia. They are one of the world's most popular and widely grown fruits, with many varieties
being cultivated for both commercial and home use. Bananas are long, curved fruits with
smooth, yellow, and sometimes slightly green skin. The average length of a banana is about 7
to 9 inches, and it is about 2 to 3 inches in diameter. The skin of the banana is usually yellow
when it is ripe, but it can also be green, red, or purple depending on the variety.
The inside of a banana is composed of several fleshy, cream-colored segments, which are
surrounded by thin, white membranes. The segments are held together by a central core, and
they contain small, black seeds that are not usually eaten. The flesh of the banana is soft,
slightly sweet, and has a slightly sticky texture.
Bananas are typically planted in the rainy or monsoon season when the soil is moist and can
provide enough water to the young plants. In tropical and subtropical climates, where
bananas are widely grown, the planting season typically occurs between April and June. In
regions with a dry season, the planting may occur in September or October, after the rainy
season. It is important to note that the specific planting time may vary depending on the local
climate and growing conditions. Additionally, some commercial banana farms may plant
bananas year-round in controlled greenhouse or field environments.
The crop is propagated through vegetative reproduction, meaning new plants are produced
from existing plant material rather than from seeds. The most common method of
propagation is through the use of "suckers" or "pups," which are shoots that grow from the
base of the mother plant. The suckers are carefully removed from the mother plant and
planted in a new location, where they will develop into a separate plant. In commercial
banana farming, the suckers are often treated with rooting hormones to encourage faster and
more vigorous growth.
Another method of propagation is through the use of "rhizome" or "corm" cuttings, which are
pieces of the underground stem of the banana plant that can be used to start a new plant. This
method is less common but may be used in some cases, particularly for rare or specialty
varieties of bananas.
Bananas are one of the most popular and widely grown fruits in the world, with their largest
production occurring in countries near the equator. They thrive in tropical and subtropical
climates and are commonly grown in India, China, the Philippines,Brazil, Uganda, Colombia,
Indonesia, Cameroon, and Honduras. However, this is not an exhaustive list, as bananas are
also grown in other tropical and subtropical regions, including parts of Africa, South
America, and Southeast Asia. The specific areas where bananas are grown can vary based on
local growing conditions, including temperature, rainfall, soil type, and market demand.

CHAPTER II
DISCUSSION
2.1 Benefit of bananas
Bananas have been the subject of many studies evaluating their potential health
benefits particularly studies looking at the minerals of which they are a rich source.
Some of the most well-researched potential benefits of bananas include:
1.Are bananas good for heart health?

Bananas could benefit your cardiovascular health. A large body of research tells us that low
levels of potassium in your body have a strong correlation to the risk of higher blood
pressure. But the good news is that getting enough potassium by eating potassium rich foods
can help maintain your blood pressure at healthy levels. Potassium may also protect blood
vessels from thickening and becoming damaged from atherosclerosis. And bananas are one of
the most potassium-rich foods in the human diet.
They are also a good source of magnesium, a mineral known to play a role in heart health.
Research indicated that magnesium deficiency correlates with high blood pressure and high
levels of blood fats, for example.
You’ll also find antioxidants like catechins and dopamine in bananas, which have been
studied for their potential to lower heart disease risk.
2. Bananas may also support mood balance and restful sleep.

Research suggests that a diet rich in potassium-containing foods (like bananas) may help you
sleep better. A 2018 study published in Hypertension Research found that individuals who
had less potassium in their blood experienced sleep patterns that were more disturbed and less
restful.
Bananas also contain tryptophan, an amino acid and natural sedative that converts to
serotonin, a sleep-promoting neurotransmitter. Similarly, a 2013 study found that tropical
fruits, including bananas, increased melatonin levels a sleep-promoting hormone.
This fruit is also abundant in magnesium and vitamin B6, which can both aid in calming your
mind and promoting restful sleep. Between the potassium, magnesium, tryptophan,
melatonin, and B6 in bananas, there’s good reason to believe they can help you enjoy a good
night’s sleep.
3. Bananas may be good for your stomach.

Bananas can promote healthy digestion. A 2011 study conducted among 34 overweight but
otherwise healthy women, found that incorporating bananas daily could improve
gastrointestinal health. The women were divided into three groups in which they received
either one banana, one banana-flavored drink, or one cup of water in the control group. The
participants assigned to the banana group experienced significantly less bloating and slightly
increased levels of bifidobacteria — “good” bacteria in your gut that are often used in
probiotics — in their stool.
Furthermore, bananas are starchy. They contain two main types of fiber: pectin and resistant
starch. While starch is most concentrated in green and unripe bananas, pectin increases as
bananas ripen. Some research indicates that pectin may be protective when it comes to colon
cancer, and that resistant starch helps to feed the “good” bacteria in your gut.
4. Bananas and weight loss
While there aren’t a lot of studies on the relationship between bananas and dieting, or weight
loss, they do offer characteristics that are known to support a healthy weight.
Bananas are low in calories, coming in at around 100 calories on average. They’re high in
fiber, a nutrient that helps you feel fuller longer between meals and may help prevent
overeating. The resistant starch in bananas may especially help keep your appetite at bay.
And, as you’ll have discovered if you’ve ever blended or mashed a banana and seen its
volume decrease significantly, bananas actually contain a lot of air, which may also stimulate
that “full” feeling.
5. Bananas may support healthy bones.

Evidence shows that potassium-rich diets can have protective effects on bone health.
Although the actual reason for this is still up for debate, many researchers think it’s because
potassium prevents calcium resorption.
6. Bananas may have anticancer properties.

Bananas are a rich source of lectins, carbohydrate-binding proteins that have been studied for
their potential ability to kill cancer cells. (There are a few authors today who warn against
lectins, but such warnings are mostly misguided.)
One study published in the journal Molecules in 2014 specifically examined lectins in
bananas. The authors reported that lectins have the potential for suppressing cancer cell
proliferation.
2.2 Frequently asked question
Is it good to eat a banana every day?

Bananas are healthy, delicious, and versatile fruits. They’re full of nutrients that could
help prevent constipation, improve digestive and gut health, and promote recovery
from intense activity.
Eating one banana per day will provide:
• 12% of the DV for vitamin C
• 10% of the DV for potassium
• 8% of the DV for magnesium
Eating one banana per day is a healthy option. But since most of the calories in
bananas come from carbs, eating too many bananas may result in high sugar intake,
which could lead to high blood pressure.
What is the best time to eat bananas?

Bananas are a common breakfast food because they are nutritious, filling, and easy to
eat.
However, since bananas are high in carbs, they may increase blood sugar levels in
people with type 2 diabetes. Pairing a banana with a food that’s high in protein and
fat, such as Greek yogurt, may be more beneficial.
CHAPTER III
CONCLUSION
3.1 Conclusion
Bananas are a popular fruit with many potential health benefits. They may improve
your digestion and heart health, thanks to their fiber and antioxidant content. Plus,
they may support weight loss because they're relatively low in calories, nutrient-dense,
and filling.
banana is consumed in every area of the world not because of it’s a healthy fruit
contains some vital nutritional value but it also helps in overcoming stress, depression,
treats diabetes, recover motion sickness and relives from the agonizing hangover.
Here are some benefits we are jotting down so you would be able to know about the
awe-inspiring effects of banana.
