At 78 years old, Arnold Schwarzenegger continues to impress with his physical shape. The legendary bodybuilder and actor maintains his health thanks to three main foods in his diet. Which particular fruit among these three foods the actor loves is revealed by Thesportrush.
What actor says about bananas
Arnie really loves three foods: lentils, protein powder, and bananas.
Mr. Olympia specifically singles out bananas, claiming they can outperform many protein shakes and be healthier.
"Bananas are a food that many people underestimate because of their natural sugar content. However, it is one of the simplest dietary adjustments you can make to take care of your heart and your overall well-being. Still, some people criticize it," he adds.
Why are bananas a superfood?
Scientific research confirms Arnold's words.
An increase in consumption of just 1.6 grams of potassium per day, which is the amount provided by several bananas, is associated with a 21% reduction in stroke risk, according to a BioSpace analysis covering more than 247,000 adults.
In addition, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends a daily intake of 3.5 grams of potassium. This important electrolyte, found in bananas, is crucial for cardiovascular health.
Bananas take care not only of the heart. The National Library of Medicine proves that green bananas are rich in resistant starch, which supports gut health and helps control weight.
They are also a source of energy that helps athletes maintain stable performance during workouts, similar to sports drinks.
Experts also advise consuming green bananas several times a week to get all of their prebiotic properties.
