What Happens Inside Your Body After You Eat a Banana? Dr. Mandell

Bananas provide carbohydrates and fiber, and people can feel differently after eating one. In this video, Dr. Alan Mandell explains how digestion and food pairing can affect the body’s response, and demonstrates eating a banana with almond butter. Pairing carbohydrates with fat or protein can slow the rise in blood glucose after a meal, though each person’s response varies. A little cinnamon is optional for flavor; the video isn’t suggesting that cinnamon treats blood sugar problems. PubMed references: I’d keep Jenkins for general background and add the almond butter study. The almond study tested several forms of almonds, including almond butter, with a carbohydrate-containing meal; it did not test bananas specifically. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov - Jenkins DJA et al. “Glycemic index of foods: a physiological basis for carbohydrate exchange.” Am J Clin Nutr. 1981;34(3):362–366.
