Nutritionists recommend eating bananas strictly in moderation.
Bananas are a healthy fruit in many ways, not inferior in popularity to apples in Russia. However, they must be consumed in accordance with dietary recommendations, otherwise eating them can harm the body.
First of all, you need to eat bananas in moderation. For an adult who does not play sports, it is better not to consume them daily. If he is physically active and mobile enough, it would be right to limit himself to one banana a day. Moreover, nutritionists recommend giving preference to not too ripe bananas with greenish peel – their carbohydrate load on the body is lower.
In large quantities, bananas can provoke digestive problems due to their saturation with fiber – bloating, excessive accumulation of gases, even constipation.
Improper consumption of bananas also leads to heart problems. These fruits are rich in potassium, which is beneficial for the functioning of the heart muscle, but only on condition that it enters the body only in a certain dosage.
“Excessive consumption of bananas is fraught with excess potassium in the body – hyperkalemia: it can cause muscle weakness and heart rhythm disturbances, leading to serious heart problems,” says experts in OSN.
Another risk associated with eating bananas is – increased blood sugar levels. It can be especially significant when a person eats very ripe fruits or eats them on an empty stomach. Elevated blood sugar stimulates the release of large amounts of insulin and increases the risk of developing insulin resistance, a key cause of obesity and type 2 diabetes.
The MedikForum.ru portal previously wrote that you should not drink more than two cups of tea during the day .
