    Banana is rich in dietary fiber, a large part of it will not be digested and absorbed, but it can increase the volume of feces and promote intestinal peristalsis. At the same time, it can cause gastrointestinal fluid secretion of hypertonicity, so as to adsorb water to the solid part, so that the stool becomes soft and easily discharged. However, these effects are only possessed by ripe bananas. Unripe bananas may have a counter-productive effect. It contains more tannic acid, is less soluble, and has astringent effect on the digestive tract and inhibits the secretion of gastrointestinal fluids. And inhibit its peristalsis, if excessive intake will cause constipation or aggravate the condition of constipation. .
