Hi, it’s Mac!
I’m actually a huge sweets lover, and for years I used to end every single day with dessert. But lately, for my health, I’ve been trying to cut sweets down to just 2–3 days a week 😂
So instead, I’ve started eating more fruit — especially bananas.
Here’s what eating bananas every day has been doing for my body 🍌
1. Your gut gets happy 🧖
Bananas are packed with resistant starch, which feeds your good gut bacteria.
This boosts your microbiome, improves digestion, and even helps your mood and immune system.
2. Less inflammation, fewer weird body issues 🔥
A healthy gut makes more butyrate, which calms inflammation throughout the body.
This can help with constant fatigue, brain fog, and overall sluggishness.
3. Better skin and a natural glow ✨
When your gut improves, your blood quality improves — and your skin shows it.
Plus, banana polyphenols and B vitamins add an extra beauty boost.
4. You become harder to gain weight 🕺
Bananas are low-cal, filling, and help keep your blood sugar steady.
A balanced gut also makes you naturally “harder to gain weight.”
5. Allergies may get better too 🙊
Your gut and immune system are directly connected.
When your gut calms down, your immune overreactions (aka allergies) can also ease up.
🙅♂️ Bananas you should avoid
1. Cheap imported bananas
Why:
- Often high in pesticides
- Some farms use aerial spraying
- May contain anti-fungal chemicals
- Multiple pesticides have been detected in some tests
Since you’re eating them daily, it’s better to pick safer options.
🙆♀️ Good bananas you should buy
1. Organic JAS mark
Even safer if it’s pesticide-free.
2. PLU code starting with “9”
This means it’s certified organic.
3. Rainforest Alliance certified
Safer for your health, the farmers, and the environment.
🍏 The strongest choice:
Green-tip bananas
1. Pick bananas with a little green left on the stem
Why:
- Highest in resistant starch
- Best balance of sweetness + health benefits
Completely green ones are also fine.
Yellow bananas still have benefits — but greenish ones are the strongest option.
📝 Final thoughts
- Bananas are basically the “ultimate habit” for fixing your body from the gut outward.
- Avoid pesticide-heavy bananas and choose greenish ones for maximum effect.
Bananas also contain tryptophan + vitamin B6, which help your body make serotonin — the “happy hormone” — meaning less stress and more calmness 😌
Just remember: bananas are still high in carbs, so don’t go overboard ⚠️
