May improve blood sugar levels

Bananas contain a lot of soluble fiber. Soluble fiber dissolves in liquid to form a gel during digestion. It is also responsible for the sponge-like texture of bananas. Unripe bananas also contain resistant starch, which your body does not digest. These two types of fiber, when combined, may help to regulate your blood sugar levels after meals. Furthermore, they may help regulate your appetite by slowing stomach emptying.

This means that, despite their higher carb content, bananas will not cause significant blood sugar spikes in healthy people. While people with diabetes can eat bananas, it is not recommended that they consume a large amount in one sitting.
