Bananas are packed full of potassium, vitamins B6, A, C and natural carbohydrates. Vitamin B6 helps convert tryptophan into mood-lifting serotonin, and carbohydrates also aid in the absorption of tryptophan in the brain.
The fructose in bananas offers a quick boost of energy, so these are a perfect post-exercise snack. Pack one in your training bag so you don’t miss the ‘window’.
