Banana is the most preferred energy source of athletes.It contains different types of sugars and is also a very good source of Potassium. Tennis players also get dehydrated a lot and lose salts in the body. The sodium-potassium balance in the body is very important to maintain constant blood supply, which in turn determines energy supply to active parts of the body. Banana provides enough potassium, and sustained energy from various sugars. Banana is also available all over the world almost all times of the year.
