Potassium Overdose
As we mentioned before, bananas contain a lot of Potassium which is perfect for those who lack it.
However, if nothing is wrong with your Potassium levels, eating bananas excessively might trigger the side effects of too much Potassium in the body, which will be dangerous for your health.
Another term for having too much Potassium is Hyperkalemia. The symptoms of this disease are irregular heartbeats, weak muscle, low blood pressure, and temporal paralyzing. Scary, huh?
So, be aware of the symptoms of Hyperkalemia because it can affect your heart which could result in heart failure.
High Blood Sugar Level

You should regulate your banana consumption because it can increase your risk of developing Type 2 diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular diseases.
Also, over-mature ones have a higher glycemic index. You should only consume one per day.
