A banana is actually the better fruit to keep the doctor away.
A medium banana packs in 105 calories and 3 grams of fiber. It also boasts 15 percent of the recommended daily amount of vitamin C, three times the potassium of an apple, as well as vitamin B6 and manganese. It’s also touted as one of the least contaminated fruits.
A medium apple contains 70 calories and 3 grams of fiber (the pectin in apple skins is a soluble fiber that moves cholesterol out of the body). It has 10 percent of the recommended daily amount of vitamin C and some potassium, and contains quercetin, a flavonoid that acts as an antioxidant, supports immune function and protects against inflammation. However, conventionally grown apples are notorious for containing high levels of pesticides.
