Why do people say bananas give you energy but people also say they make you sleep better? Don’t they contradict?
In: Biology
Bananas are rich in starch (a form of carbohydrates) and natural sugars, so it´s true that it gives immediate energy. u/Riconquer2 mention tryptophan, and bananas contain some of that too. It also contains potassium, which matters for sleep and muscle relaxation.
So the banana is good for a boost, but the relaxing stuff in it needs a bit of time to work properly.
