"Doctor warns against starting the day with bananas for breakfast"

Contrary to popular belief, grabbing a banana for breakfast may not be the best idea. While bananas are packed with potassium and vitamin B6, they are also high in sugar and moderately acidic, which can lead to a quick energy boost followed by fatigue and hunger. Nutritionist Dr Daryl Gioffre suggests pairing bananas with a healthy fat or spices to neutralize the acid and slow down the metabolism of sugar, preventing blood sugar spikes and crashes. Incorporating fruits and vegetables into your diet is important, but it's best to balance your banana breakfast with other foods to maximize its benefits.
