Dietary fiber has been linked to many health benefits, including better digestion. Medium-sized bananas contain about 3 grams of fiber, making bananas a good source of fiber.

Banana contains mainly two types of fiber, namely pectin and starch resistant. This fiber is found in unripe bananas. Resistant starch is not digested and ends up in the large intestine, where it becomes food for beneficial intestinal bacteria.

In addition, some cell studies suggest that pectin can help protect against colon cancer.
