Happy weight loss food! Eating more banana starch will make you thinner

Bananas are happy food. They not only help you lose weight, but also relieve emotional anxiety. Doctors point out that bananas contain a large amount of "resistant starch", which is not easily broken down by digestive enzymes. It has a sense of satiety and can inhibit obesity. To use bananas to lose weight, it is recommended to choose green bananas, mix them with yogurt or green tea, and eat them as modern meals. It is best to blend them into juice and drink it together with the banana peel, which can help you cool down in the summer and stay away from obesity.

Liu Bo'en, executive director of the Taiwan Obesity Education and Prevention Association and a specialist in obesity and weight loss, pointed out that "eating banana peels after a breakup" should not be considered a joke, as it actually has a basis. The main reason is that banana peels are rich in norepinephrine, which helps break down fat and promotes metabolism, and also helps with weight loss. It can be said to be a natural "happy food" with no side effects.

Bananas are high in serum hormones, like natural Prozac

At the same time, bananas are rich in serum hormones, which can increase the metabolic rate and ease brain nerve emotions. At the same time, rich serum hormones can relax the mood and relieve depression. Therefore, bananas are known as natural "Prozac" medicinal fruits. Green bananas are rich in dietary fiber, which can help lose weight, increase gastrointestinal motility, and have a better weight loss effect.

In addition to serum hormones, bananas are also rich in carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, pectin, and trace elements such as potassium and zinc. Potassium ions can enhance muscle strength and endurance, zinc can enhance vitality, and sugar can be quickly converted into glucose. Therefore, bananas are one of the most suitable foods for athletes.

High dietary fiber for weight control

Generally speaking, green bananas are astringent and most people cannot eat them raw. Qiu Yongfeng, a banana farmer in Linluo Township, Pingtung, crushes and filters green bananas with the skin on to make "banana resistant starch", which is considered an alternative highly usable dietary fiber because it can help control weight. The so-called "resistant starch" refers to starch and its secondary products that are difficult to digest in the small intestine. This is because the structure of resistant starch is not easily cut by digestive enzymes.

Currently, Pingtung County Yongxin Fruit and Vegetable Marketing Cooperative and Japan's Okayama City VANTEK Production and Marketing have cooperated for 5 years and successfully developed a method to extract "banana starch" from green ripe bananas. Bananas are no longer just a happy fruit, but also a biotech food that can help lose weight, relieve mood, and prevent gastrointestinal diseases.

5 Benefits of Banana Resistant Starch

1. Can help with weight loss: Resistant starch has similar functions to dietary fiber, and is extremely low in calories and has a sense of satiety. It can promote postprandial lipid oxidation, reduce fat accumulation, and help with weight loss.

2. Can regulate blood sugar: Resistant starch is digested very slowly, which can improve the problems of postprandial hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinemia, and help maintain blood sugar stability. It is very suitable for people with unstable blood sugar or high blood sugar.

3. Prevent colorectal cancer: Resistant starch can be fermented and absorbed by bacteria in the colon. The fermented metabolites maintain the acidic environment of the intestine, promote the decomposition and excretion of toxins, and prevent colorectal cancer to a certain extent.

4. Improve intestinal health: Like dietary fiber, resistant starch can directly enter the large intestine and be broken down and utilized by probiotics, helping the growth of beneficial bacteria and thus maintaining healthy intestinal function.

5. Lower cholesterol: A diet high in resistant starch can effectively lower blood cholesterol and triglycerides, prevent arteriosclerosis, help with cardiovascular health, and have a positive effect on calorie control and blood sugar control.

In fact, experts recommend that you consume 20g of dietary fiber every day, which is equivalent to 20 bananas. However, it is not easy to eat 20 bananas a day. Banana resistant starch is the best substitute. Banana resistant starch is white and smooth, and feels similar to flour. It becomes viscous when mixed with water. It is colorless and odorless and can be consumed directly or added to milk or beverages to enhance the taste.
