From the September 2012 issue of Shape Magazine:
"Next time you're refueling during a sweat session, go bananas--literally. A new study from Appalachian State University found that when cyclists ate half of one in place of downing a bottled sports drink every 15 minutes during a simulated race, they got an identical performance boost, plus added nutritional benefits. 'Bananas offer an all-natural, fiber-packed source of carbohydrates, potassium, and vitamin B6--without empty calories and artificial ingredients,' explains lead researcher David C. Nieman, Ph.D. So fill your water bottle, pack one of these travel-friendly fruits, and get ready to slip into high gear." --21 Grams of sugar you'll save by swapping a 20-ounce sports drink for a banana. (that's a candy bar's worth).
