Our bodies convert all food matter into simple carbohydrates (sugars) for use as fuel. This process can require considerable energy, and will often leave you tired, especially after a large meal. The carbohydrates in ripe bananas are already in their simplest form, and can be digested easily with a minimum of energy loss.

The sugars in bananas are called glucose and fructose. Glucose is the most easily digestible sugar. It gets into your bloodstream rapidly and can be utilized for a quick release of energy. The fructose is absorbed more slowly, and thus it provides a more lasting fuel release. Neither glucose nor fructose cause the adrenaline surge linked to consumption of sucrose (table sugar) that gives children the "run around like crazy" and then leaves them exhausted.

Bananas are famous as a good source of potassium, a mineral involved in proper muscle contraction. Insufficient potassium is one of the main causes of fatigue, muscle cramping and dehydration.

Bananas supply the dense and ready carbohydrates necessary to replace the muscle glycogen (muscle sugar) used during exercise. It is wise to eat bananas before, during, and after long bouts of activity, and after shorter, more intense sessions.
