You will have to work very hard to overdose

Although bananas are notable for potassium, a healthy individual would need an extreme and impractical volume to approach dangerous levels. Digestive capacity limits intake long before potassium becomes excessive. Caution is warranted, however, for people with compromised kidney function or those using medications such as certain beta blockers or potassium sparing diuretics, since the body may not eliminate excess efficiently. Individuals managing blood sugar should factor bananas into their overall carbohydrate plan, as they fall in the moderate range on the glycemic index. For most healthy people, two bananas daily are both safe and advantageous within a balanced dietary pattern. Enjoy them as part of diverse whole food choices to leverage their convenience and broad nutritional support.
