WHY YOU NEED TO AVOID BANANA FOR BREAKIE

According to Dr Daryl Gioffre, who created the AlkaMind diet, bananas are actually harmful to eat as a breakfast substitute.

While the tropical fruit has plenty of good qualities such as being high in potassium, magnesium and fiber, it won’t do you much good as a morning snack. The reason for this is “they’re 25% sugar and moderately acidic”, Dr Gioffre says. They will give you a decent temporary boost, but you’ll soon feel tired and hungry again. Dr Gioffre goes as far as calling them “Nature’s candy”. They can actually cause cravings, which could lead to overeating later on.
