Dr. Zhang Mingping
Boiled bananas typically have a lubricating effect on the intestines, effectively relieving constipation. They may also help lower blood pressure and alleviate excessive drowsiness. Bananas are rich in vitamins and can replenish essential trace elements required by the body. Additionally, the serotonin they contain promotes relaxation and helps alleviate depressive symptoms. However, bananas contain relatively high amounts of sugar, so they should be consumed in moderation.
