Good day. Today we will talk about proper nutrition. Let's analyze the benefits of two wonderful products (banana/apple) and find out which of them is more useful for a weight loss diet.
First, you need to figure out what this food consists of. For example, in 10 gr. banana has: 2 micrograms of vitamin A, 1 mcg vitamin AT 9 and 1 mg vitamin WITH. In an apple, the ratio (in 10 gr) a little different: vitamin A - 0.5 mcg, vitamin AT 9 - 0.2 mcg, vitamin WITH - 1mg. As you can see, banana contains more essential vitamins. But with weight loss, this is not a key indicator.
Those who are used to controlling their weight know that the calorie content of the product plays a key role. In 10 grams of banana 9.6 kcal (fats - 0.05 g, proteins - 0.15 g, carbohydrates - 2.1 g). In the same weight of an apple, only 4.7 kcal (fats - 0.04 g, proteins - 0.04 g, carbohydrates - 0.98 g). However, the article would not be so useful if we did not understand in more detail.
It is necessary to take into account macro and microelements in these fruits. 10 g of an apple includes: 27.8 mg - potassium, 1.6 mg - calcium, 0.22 mg - iron, 0.015 mg - zinc. But in a banana (10 gr) other indicators: 34.8 mg - potassium, 0.8 mg - calcium, 0.06 mg - iron, 0.015 mg - zinc. It turns out that the banana has more potassium, but less calcium and iron (than in an apple).
What conclusions can be drawn? In terms of micro / macro substances, caloric content and vitamin content - an apple is inferior to a banana (apart from iron and calcium). It may seem that it is more beneficial when dieting for weight loss. However, for health, it is necessary to constantly replenish the body with precisely these useful elements (if in addition to proper nutrition, you also add physical training). Therefore, the benefit of a particular product depends on your daily activity (with a small activity - an apple is more useful, with a large one - a banana).
It should also be understood that for a more productive diet, you need to combine different foods. But more on that in other articles. And do not forget, in case of illness, you need to contact a specialist for help. Subscribe to the channel if the topic of health is close to you.
