Unexpected property of bananas surprised scientists

Researchers have discovered an unexpected property of bananas that could change our understanding of this fruit's benefits. As it turns out, bananas can not only maintain energy levels and improve digestion but also affect cognitive brain functions.

A group of scientists from the University of California conducted an experiment in which volunteers consumed bananas daily for a month. As a result, most participants showed improvements in memory, concentration, and information processing speed. Specialists attribute this effect to the high content of potassium, vitamin B6, and specific antioxidants in bananas that help protect nerve cells.

Additionally, researchers noted that certain substances found in banana peels may have anti-inflammatory properties, potentially opening new possibilities for medicine.

The discovery came as a surprise even to the scientists themselves, and they now intend to continue their research to study the effects of bananas on brain function and the nervous system more deeply.
