9. Bananas can boost kidney health
Who would have thought that bananas could boost kidney health? I haven’t, and yet, they do, due to their potassium content. Potassium is also essential for healthy kidney function. Therefore, bananas could be your next kidney-friendly snack, and we even have studies that back that up.
A 13-year study concluded that people who tend to eat bananas at least two times a week could be 33 percent less likely to develop kidney disease. Another study pointed out that people who eat this healthy fruit more than four times a week could be 50 percent less likely to develop kidney disease than those who tend to avoid bananas.
