Have you had your bananas today? Why you need one - or five...

Bananas are yummy, portable and super good for you – especially if you’re a woman. 

A new study has found that high-potassium foods can cut the risk of stroke in women by up to 16%. Bananas are chock full of potassium – and other healthy stuff. So how many do you need? A whole bunch. It would take 12 bananas a day to get the full dose of potassium. Not to worry, potassium is also in a lot of other food you probably already eat, including spinach, dates, yogurt, potatoes, and salmon – but the extra banana is a good idea.
