Bananas Aid In The Fight Against Cancer

Bananas are already the most popular fruit snack in the United States and are sold at every grocery store, market and even convenience stores worth frequenting. Bananas are chocked full of the potent supplement potassium, which some scientists believe can be a powerful treatment for various cancers by itself in high doses. Potassium helps regulates blood pressure, water balance, functioning of the kidneys, nerves and digestive system and much more.

Those on diuretics such as lasix or furosemide, may be in danger of having their potassium levels depleted, and should consume foods high in potassium such as bananas daily. Also, in cases of severe diarrhea,  potassium levels are also quickly depleted and thus bananas in the diet can be very effective as well as supplying the body with fiber and other useful vitamins and minerals.


Those with cancers of the digestive or auto-immune system, such as liver cancer or stomach cancer, may experience severe heartburn caused by lactid acid build up, can largely benefit from a daily dose of bananas. Bananas act as a natural antacid and can relieve heartburn pain for a short time after consumption. In addition, the iron in bananas can help improve red blood cell counts by stimulating hemoglobin production.
