Introduction
“Eat a banana a day”: this advice, often given informally, finds an echo in medical observations, particularly among seniors? After 60, the body undergoes transformations that alter nutritional needs and the body’s ability to adapt. The banana, a tropical fruit rich in potassium, carbohydrates, and fiber, is generating increasing interest in clinical research.

We will examine the observed effects on blood pressure, gut microbiota, sleep, and blood glucose levels, as well as essential precautions related to drug interactions and specific medical conditions.
