8 AMAZING benefits of bananas for kids

Many mums choose bananas as the first food they introduce their baby when weaning them onto solid foods. The soft, mushy texture is a sure bet for mums worried about their little one choking.

1. High in fibre

Bananas are rich in fibre, which helps keep you feeling fuller for longer.

2. Easy to digest

Little tummies are still getting used to using their digestive system, which is why bananas are great as they are easy to digest.

3. Good for your heart

Studies show that fibre-rich foods, like bananas, can lower the risk of those consuming developing cardiovascular disease and coronary heart disease.

4. Full of nutrients

Bananas are loaded with nutrients! They include potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, folate, niacin, B6, manganese plus many more!

5. Regulate blood pressure

Bananas contain a low salt content and high potassium content, which is a great combination when it comes to blood pressure.

6. Good for growing bones and improving eyesight

Carrots aren’t the only food to help improve eyesight! Bananas contain vitamin A and this is beneficial for your child’s vision. Plus, the potassium in them helps grow strong bones.

7. Prevent anaemia

Bananas are rich in iron, and this is essential for helping producing enough haemoglobin in the blood and the formation of red blood cells. Iron rich foods are a good way to help prevent your child from getting anaemia.

8. Increase brain power

Bananas are great fuel for you child’s brain – and they are help increase your little one’s concentration power too.
