This isn’t just a quirky phrase; bananas are nature’s mood-boosting fruit. Packed with magnesium and vitamin B6, they play a key role in producing ‘happy neurotransmitters’ like dopamine and serotonin. But that’s not all. Bananas are rich in dietary fibre, stabilizing blood sugar levels, and they provide prebiotics to foster the growth of beneficial gut bacteria. A balanced gut microbiome can even reduce the risk of mood disorders. So, next time you need a mood boost, grab a banana.
