Health’s contributing nutrition editor, Cynthia Sass, RD, weighs in on the latest weight loss claim
Bananas are insanely good for you. Not only are they packed with 12% of your recommended daily dose of potassium and 20% of vitamins C and B6, but a single piece of the fruit also boasts 3 grams fiber. They are also a great source of resistant starch, a type that naturally suppresses your appetite, ultimately aiding in weight loss. Did we mention they are also super delicious, whether you are eating them straight from the peel or blended into a smoothie, added to baked goods, or sliced up in your oatmeal?
But according to one nutritionist, if you want to really amplify the health benefits of bananas, you should be eating the peel as well.
