Eating mango and banana at night is usually harmless, but can cause poor digestion, heartburn and reflux if consumed in large quantities or too close to bedtime.
Therefore, in cases of people with digestion difficulties or who do not have a healthy intestinal flora, what can happen is that fruits rich in fiber cause discomfort as they take longer to be digested. Consuming milk at night along with fruit will also only cause discomfort in people who already have some digestion difficulties. See the list of some foods that can cause poor digestion.
Benefits of banana
Bananas can be consumed in their natural form or in desserts, ice creams, cakes and salads, with or without peel, with the following health benefits:
- Regulate the intestine, especially in cases of diarrhea, as it is rich in soluble fiber;
- Reduce appetite, as it gives a feeling of satiety;
- Avoid muscle cramps, especially during the summer, during pregnancy or during periods of vomiting and diarrhea, as it is rich in potassium;
- Reduces blood pressure because it stimulates the elimination of sodium in the urine;
- Help fight depression, as bananas contain tryptophan, a substance that forms serotonin, the hormone that improves mood and helps you relax.
In cases of constipation, you should prefer the consumption of dwarf bananas, as they are rich in insoluble fiber, which speeds up intestinal transit and combats constipation. See why it’s good to eat banana peel.
