Health benefits of Banana: The first line got me thinking. Was it a typo or some other meaning. The banana is a better energy source than sports. I didnt get that at all. What I know is that taking Bananas is one of the best ways to restore energy AFTER sports.
It’s just like taking liquidated glucose that gies straight into the body to give energy.
My point here is that Sports isn’t a source of energy. No. Participating in sports can help in well being but not necessarily an energy source. Better yet, its participation expands energy.
Thanks though
