2 times you should absolutely not eat bananas Check 1st comment

⚠️ 1. When You’re Trying to Control Blood Sugar (Especially in the Morning)

Bananas contain natural sugars — mainly glucose, fructose, and sucrose. While these are better than refined sugar, they can still cause a quick spike in blood sugar, especially when eaten on an empty stomach.

If you have diabetes, prediabetes, or insulin resistance, eating a ripe banana first thing in the morning might not be ideal. The sugar rush can lead to:

• Sudden energy spikes followed by fatigue (“sugar crash”)
• Increased cravings later in the day
• Unstable blood sugar levels

Better option:
Pair a banana with protein or healthy fats (like Greek yogurt, peanut butter, or nuts). This helps slow down digestion and keeps your blood sugar steady.

Extra tip:
Greener, less ripe bananas have a lower glycemic index and more resistant starch — meaning they raise blood sugar less than fully ripe ones.

⚠️ 2. When You’re Dealing With Digestive or Kidney Issues

Bananas are high in potassium — which is usually a good thing, as potassium helps regulate heart function and fluid balance.

However, if you have kidney problems, your body may struggle to filter out excess potassium. Eating too many bananas can raise potassium levels too high, leading to a condition called hyperkalemia, which can affect heart rhythm and muscle function.

Also, if you’re struggling with bloating, IBS, or sluggish digestion, very ripe bananas can sometimes worsen symptoms due to their fermentable sugars (FODMAPs).

Better option:
Consult your doctor about your potassium needs and opt for smaller portions or less ripe bananas if digestion is an issue.
