Instant energy
Energy value of bananas around 136 calories for every 100 grams, which is derived from the overall carbohydrate.
Energy value of bananas twice higher than that of apples. Apples with the same weight (100 grams) contains only 54 calories.
Bananas provide carbohydrate energy a bit more slowly than sugar and syrup, but faster than the rice, biscuits, and a kind of bread. Therefore, many athletes at rest or pause mengonsumsi banana as a backup energy.
Gynecology energy is the energy of bananas IM, which is easily available in a short time, so useful in providing calorie needs arise. Banana is a carbohydrate complex carbohydrate level and are available in stages, so that it can provide energy in a time not too fast. Banana is a carbohydrate energy reserve is very well used and can be quickly available to the body.
Sugar banana is a fruit sugar, which consists of fruktosa have indek glikemik lower than with glucose, so that sufficient energy storage as well as a little more slowly dimetabolisme. After hard work or thinking, always feeling arising drowsiness. This is the signs of lack of brain energy, so that the biological activity also decreased.
To perform activities, the brain need energy as glucose. Blood glucose is vital for the brain to be able to work well, among others, expressed in the ability to remember the power.
Glucose is mainly derived from the blood circulation in the brain as a backup because glikogen glucose very limited existence. Especially blood glucose obtained from food sources of carbohydrate Feed.

Gynecology vitamin B6 of bananas is quite high, amounting to 0.5 mg per 100 grams. In addition to functioning as koenzim for some reactions in metabolism, vitamin B6 play a role in the synthetic and protein metabolism, especially serotonin. Serotonin believed to play an active role as a neurotransmitter in the smooth function of the brain.
Vitamin B6 is also involved in energy metabolism that comes from carbohydrates. Role of vitamin B6 is clear support for the availability of energy for brain activity daily.
