banana vs apple  

here in our country the philippines banana is very cheap compared to apples (which is imported from either the us or china) so we hardly eat apple in a week. but we do eat a lot of banana especially if it is summer since banana is said to be good for the skin especially on summers. not only is banana good for one's health but it is also very nutritious.

i love apples.. and i like eating them because it brings back the 3mins i have lost in my life when i smoke..=]

Aside from the ones you've mentioned, bananas like here in the Philippines are much fresher than apples which were of course come from outside the country. I love apples but for aformentioned reason, especially the red california apples are so expensive here, we would resort to other fruit. I am glad that our country has variety of fruits to choose from, I think that makes us lucky enough. At home, banana is very much loved fruit by my niece and that we often have one in the house. Often though, I make fruit salad that include avocado, mangoes.. apples and bananas... yummmy !

It would be great if you can have both a day. cause the benefits that you'll be getting from apple are different from the one that banana can give you. One of the people who responded here made a good research with comparison. So, to make our body healthy, eat banana and apple a day.

just in case, one is not available, at least try to have ANY of the two. Health is wealth!

Yes you are right , the apples of today are no where near the vitamin potency of the past, mainly due to the storage process, some of which are in cold storage for up to 11 months. I've heard that it takes between 4 and 7 apples of today to match one apple of old .

this is a matter of taste i guess :-) i like both and here in eblgium they are aboutt he same prize so i would choose them both and if mixed with some kiwi and exotic fruits ( like starfruit or ananas or smth ) they make an extreemly nice fruitsalad :-D....

yours trully

Both fruits are very important to health and contain very different nutrients. For overall digestive function (which, of course effects the entire body)plus the nutrition the apple is best, but the banana contains nutrients that absolutely essential to function of all the cells. The potassium is especially necessary to balance electrolytes and to keep the brain functioning properly.

My best advice is to eat the fruits that are most readily available to you in their freshest form.

I like both fruits.. but guess it would have to be the bannana...

I've never heard about the banana one, I've heard about the apples and the apples are expensive here. Thanks for the information and for sharing it. Now I could opt for a banana a day instead of apple

Happy mylotting and have a nice day!!

I think banana is a complete fruit containing all the essential vitamins and minerals. But the drawback of banana is that it has a lot of fat content in it. While apple, we all know should be included in the diet as it is also a nutritious fruit. But I think what you can do it eat banana and apple alternatively. This can educe your confusion also and keep you in budget also.
