Banana

So rich in nutrients, it's considered one of the best foods for athletes

Bananas provide a good quantity of carbohydrates and potassium, which makes them one of the best foods for athletes according to the Web site Fruits and Veggies Matter. Bananas are one of the most nutritious fruits, because they contain a high quantity of vitamin B6 and C, magnesium, as well as moderate amounts of riboflavin, thiamin, and phosphorous. 

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) states, “Parents can provide their children food which contains a moderate quantity of calories like a medium banana or a medium apple in order to maintain a healthy weight.” Providing children nutritious choices in foods can help them maintain a healthy lifestyle.
