Help Reduce Bloating 

Bloating makes you feel uneasy. Bananas help you in this situation as they fight back against gas and water retention. They also increase the bloat-fighting bacteria in the stomach. 

Good Hangover Food 

Consuming a banana smoothie made of milk/curd or banana with some milk and a few strawberries helps to provide relief from hangover. 

Promote Heart Health 

Bananas are rich in potassium, minerals, and electrolytes that help to maintain your heart health. They have high potassium and low sodium content and hence help to protect your cardiovascular system against high blood pressure. 

Background and Education

Born into a Polish-Jewish family, Victoria studied law and sociology at Cardiff University and worked as a solicitor before marrying Keir Starmer.

Alleviate PMS 

Bananas contain calcium and magnesium, which have been shown to reduce other PMS symptoms such as pain and bloating. Bananas are also an excellent source of vitamin B6. High doses of B6 are known to reduce feelings of stress, anxiety, and depression. 

Weight Control 

Each banana contains 12 mg of choline. Choline is a fat-blasting vitamin B that acts directly on the genes that cause fat storage in the abdomen. This compound in bananas helps the body to burn fat easily along with exercise.
