the study included only 21 participants overall, so much larger and better studies are needed before drawing strong conclusions.
There’s currently no good reason to describe bananas as a guaranteed natural treatment for insomnia, cramps, anxiety, or other medical problems.
The Bottom Line
Eating a banana in the evening can be a perfectly healthy choice for many people.
Bananas provide potassium, vitamin B6, carbohydrates, fiber, and other nutrients, making them a convenient whole-food snack.
They may also be worth trying as a light bedtime snack if hunger is keeping you awake.
But the biggest benefits come from the banana itself — not from a magical effect that suddenly occurs after sunset.
Good health depends far more on your overall eating pattern, physical activity, sleep habits, and medical needs than on eating one particular fruit at a particular hour.
