I don't know what I am asking is silly or not, but I have always heard that eating a banana after a meal helps in digestion.
Some people says before food while others say after.
Is it a fact or some silly myth?

Bananas seem to contain lots of dietary fiber that help move consumed food through the intestines (popular article) thereby promoting digestion. Whether one should eat bananas before or after dinner is probably a debatable subject (Yahoo forum).
