Which fruit is better for me? A Watermelon or a banana?

Answer 1

Are you going to eat one of these? Or do something perverted?

Answer 2

A watermelon is about 90% water and lacking in nutritional value. It's better for you as a liquid-replacement following strenuous activity, but unless you eat the green right up to the rhine, it's just like drinking a small amount of water. Watermelon also has very few calories per bite so eat away.

Bananas are full of potassium and are calorie-rich. They are a good source of energy and useful in replacing potassium followium a strenuous workout or during a strict diet. Bananas are also good if you are suffering from an upset stomach or diarrhea.

Overall, a banana is a better food. But if you're dieting, limit your bananas, and stick to apples and oranges and watermelon.

Answer 3

The banana is definitely better for you... but I think the watermelon is much tastier. Here are some facts just so you know.....

*High in Iron which can help with anemia. *The Vitamin B calms the nerve system. *Curbs nicotine withdrawl. *Cools body, great for pregnant women. *Reduces risk of stroke as much as 40% when incorporated into regular diet. *Reduces stress level. *Balances blood sugar levels which helps kick those cravings for "junk food". *A banana shake (milk banana and honey) can cure a hangover. *Brain power booster... blood pressure reducer.. pms fighter.. the list is endless and bananas win by a landslide.
BTW, I gave a speech on bananas for speech class, thats how I found out all this crazy information.

Answer 4

a banana has a lot of potassium but is heavy on carbs (good carbs though). a watermelon has sugar and thus more calories. in the end the banana has more to offer however you can't go wrong with fruit.

Answer 5

A watermelon would be better b/c it's bigger and therefore has more vitamins then a little banana

Answer 6

banana, because of the potassium
there is not much in a watermelon, but if your dehydrated then the watermelon is better for you.

Answer 7

I eat a lot of fruit! OK there both healthy. Water melon gives you extra water, Vietnam A&B. banana is high in calories for a fruit and full of potassium

Answer 8

Go with the banana

Answer 9

Both are good for you depending on what you need. Overall, according to the latest science it look like watermelon has a slight advantage, but you cannot get year round.

Answer 10

Bananas have potassium and other useful nutrients; watermelons are mostly water.

Answer 11

Watermelon. Banana's natural sweetness turns to sugar in your body once you eat it (Like the Potato). IMHO.
