Bananas are a natural energy booster for the body, and a mood booster for the mind thanks to their carbohydrate, vitamin and mineral content particularly from Vitamin B6 and potassium and their fibre supports a healthy gut. Bananas have a low GI (47-53), unless they are overripe and then their GI is medium (57). This is because some starch converts to sugars as they ripen.
