This is what eating a banana and an avocado every day will do to your body. Fruits and vegetables are vital for maintaining a healthy lifestyle. They contain vitamins and minerals that keep our body functioning at a high level. So, if you’re familiar with your fruits and vegetables, than you probably know that bananas and avocados both contain potassium and magnesium.
These two fruits are considered powerhouses because of the endless benefits they provide, but it was only recently that scientists have found that bananas and avocados may also prevent a serious health risk from occurring.

Summary:
The heart is the biggest organ in the body. It keeps us alive and pumps blood throughout our whole body. But when it becomes compromised, scary things can happen, like a heart attack.
Doctors and scientists are constantly researching ways to prevent heart attacks from occurring, and now they believe that consuming bananas and avocados could potentially be added to that list of ways to prevent one.
The research was done at the University of Alabama and can also be found in the journal JCI Insight. What scientists gathered from their research was that if an individual consumes at least one banana or avocado per day, they could increase their chances of protecting their heart from heart disease.
The research team also found that bananas and avocados could also lower the risk of arterial blockages, which often requires a major bypass surgery. Their reason behind their findings is that the potassium found in bananas and avocados actually reduced vascular calcification, which is one of the complications that kidney disease and cardiovascular disease encounter.
In order to gather their findings, the team gave mice different diets that contained low, normal or high levels of potassium.
What they found was that the mice who received the highest level of potassium had substantially more pliable arteries, while those who were given lower amounts harder arteries.
This also goes the same for humans. When you include foods in your diet that have high levels of potassium and magnesium, it’s natural that these types of symptoms (soft and hard arteries) are alleviated, mainly the stiffness of the arteries.
The reason why stiff arteries are a main concern for doctors is because they can cause the heart to work harder to pump blood through the body. Artery calcification is just one of the many problems a large amount of potassium in your diet can help prevent.
Protecting your arteries can help you prevent serious related conditions such as: heart disease, a stroke, metabolic syndrome, chronic kidney disease, and hypertension.
Now I’ve been using the word calcification a lot, and it is the buildup of calcium in your tissues, organs and blood vessels. While the calcium builds up, it can stop necessary processes that keep your body working properly.
According to scientists: “Arteriosclerosis is a defect occurring in the artery (blood vessels carrying oxygenated blood) walls. It refers to hardening of the normally flexible walls due to loss of elasticity of the arterial musculature. When young, the arteries are flexible due to the presence of a protein called elastin.”
They also explained that “As age advances, there is loss of this elastin causing thickening of the arterial walls. Atherosclerosis is another condition that refers to the deposition of fat plaques and cholesterol globules within the arteries causing narrowing of the lumen of the arteries.”
Scientists also made reference that vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), also contribute to vascular calcification in arteriosclerosis. They also went on to state that “Arterial stiffness has become an independent predictor of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, representing an important health problem for the nation as a whole.”
Bananas help balance your sugar level, because they don’t raise your glycemic index. They can help maintain your blood pressure level, and they can also help lower your chances of developing kidney stones because of the high amounts of potassium.
Avocados provide loads of nutrients that positively impact almost every part of your body, but mainly your heart and arteries. They contain fiber, which like bananas, will provide you with energy. They also contain vitamin C, vitamin K and folate, which are all essential ingredients to maintaining a healthy body.

Eating avocado before bed what is it to three

This video on banana and avocado via Bestie youtube is very beneficial. The details on both bananas and avocados highlight the positive boosts of both foods.
Notice the way they use the words…the 'could', they 'may' help etc etc more bs
I am glad this video is was posted because it insured me that I'm making the right decisions for the past 3 weeks I've been making protein smoothies insisted of adding avocado, banana, spinach, blueberry, with ice and coconut milk and also organic peanut butter and also some protein powder I find myself having a lot more energy and I'm making quick gains in the gym.
Fiber doesn’t GIVE you energy. It slows down the absorption of sugar in the intestines which in turn inhibits insulin spikes. It also cleans our intestinal walls like a brush.
Skin is the largest organ then liver. Not heart
xaxxaxxaax The heart is the biggest organ in the body dear lord pls chek ur facts the biggest organ is the skin ! Nice try
Hi Bestie, organic bananas ????are yummier, I like the taste of regular & organic avocado ????….
Thanks 1974
Avocados banana and spinach are great combo to have great and smooth wrinkled free skin. I gave my mum for 1 month and she looks way younger and plumber.
Fibre provides you with energy? Questionable comment that. It may help regulate blood sugar levels and prevent crashes, but that’s different from providing energy
Boosts the Testosterone too.
Im eating avocado and banana together right now xd
Interesting channel thanks
Me loves avocados and bananas: Yay tasty =Super duper healthy
Bestie Thank you Awesome ????❤????
Bananas contains sugars which are responsible for inflammation. Avacados is the best and not bananas.
For High BP and heart diseases, only Avacados.
Can u eat avocados and banana for lunch?
Many thanks for your video. Very informative.
I think you need to do some more research on bananas and glycemic index. Bananas jack my blood sugar every time I eat them.
What is this "if an individual consumes banacados/avonanas they could increase their chances of not getting heart disease" sounds like lottery to me.
Fibers don't provide energy.
The biggest organ inside the body is the liver.
I can't eat avocado It gives me horrible stomachache.
