But in fact, the laxative effect of bananas is actually not very prominent, because the principle of laxative is the need to increase the intake of dietary fiber, but the dietary fiber content of bananas is actually not high, and only ripe bananas have laxative effects, ripe bananas contain a soluble dietary fiber pectin, after entering the human body, can absorb water and expand, so that the volume of feces increases, promote intestinal peristalsis, thereby promoting defecation.
However, if it is an unripe banana, which contains a large amount of tannic acid, and tannic acid is a substance with a very strong astringent effect, after entering the human body, it will make the feces dry, inhibit the secretion of gastrointestinal fluid and the peristalsis of the gastrointestinal tract, but make the stool difficult to excrete, not only can not laxative, but may aggravate the symptoms of constipation.
