You would need extreme effort to overdose


Research shows many Americans fall short on potassium. A healthy person would need 700 to 800 bananas in one day to obtain a toxic potassium load from them alone. Still excess potassium can harm heart muscle. Reaching that danger threshold would require roughly 400 bananas in a day. Long before that the stomach would prevent further eating.
For most healthy people two bananas daily is a sound choice. Those on beta blockers for heart conditions should be careful since these drugs can raise potassium levels. People with diabetes may limit frequency because bananas rank medium on the glycemic index. Otherwise feel free. Studies indicate high potassium intake lowers risk of death from any physical cause by about 20%.
