8. Bananas

Bananas are loaded with nutrients like potassium, fiber, and magnesium, but their high natural sugar content can leave you feeling drowsy just a couple of hours after eating them. When eaten on an empty stomach, their acidity can also lead to bloating and bowel discomfort. They can even throw off your balance of calcium and magnesium. To get the most out of a banana's nutritional benefits, pair it with healthy fats or proteins.
