Green, yellow, or brown? The color changes everything. Green bananas pack up to 10 grams of resistant starch. That starch feeds your gut bacteria and keeps you full longer. It also slows digestion, so skip it if you're constipated. Yellow bananas digest fast. The starch has converted to simple sugar, so they hit quicker and help things move. Brown bananas are the sweetest and highest in antioxidants. And no, your potassium doesn't disappear when the peel goes spotty. That claim gets repeated everywhere and it's wrong. One banana. Three completely different effects on your body. Which one is on your counter right now? Tell me in the comments. #bananas #guthealth #resistantstarch #nutritiontips #healthyeating
