The Benefits of Bananas for Women
1. Hormonal & PMS Support
Bananas are rich in vitamin B6, which helps regulate hormones and ease PMS symptoms like “mood swings, irritability, and bloating.”
Their potassium also reduces water retention and cramps — perfect “for that time of the month.”
2. Fertility & Pregnancy Health
High in folate, bananas support fetal development and help prevent birth defects.
Potassium and magnesium aid muscle function and prevent leg cramps.
Try “a banana + a handful of nuts” for a healthy, energizing pregnancy snack.
3. Digestive & Gut Benefits
Bananas contain prebiotic fiber that nourishes good gut bacteria and eases constipation.
They’re gentle on the stomach and can help relieve nausea or morning sickness.
4. Heart, Bone & Mood Boost
Their potassium supports heart health, while calcium retention helps bone strength.
With tryptophan — used to make serotonin — bananas naturally “help combat stress, anxiety, and mild depression.”
