Subjects need to be careful when eating bananas
Considering the high potassium content in bananas, an expert warns that eating too much bananas can be harmful to people with kidney disease.
Colleen Speed, Associate Professor of Nutrition at Ohio State University Medical Center in Columbus, USA, warned: "People with end -stage kidney failure need to closely monitor the amount of potassium consumption."
"Foods rich in potassium can also interfere with some drugs to treat high blood pressure and heart failure," said Associate Professor Speed.
Hyperbysical hyperka is a condition that manifests itself too high in blood in the blood, which can lead to serious cardiovascular complications.The high amount of potassium absorbs the kidney function, especially for those who have had kidney disease before.
Associate Professor Speed emphasized that anyone who has questions or concerns should consult a doctor before adding bananas to the diet.
For healthy people, the American Heart Association recommends enjoying bananas as part of a diverse diet with many different fruits.
Particularly for kidney health, Kidney Care UK charity (UK) suggested that if you are monitoring the amount of potassium absorbing, you should only eat bananas once or twice a week.
The organization further explained: "However, if you do not need to reduce foods rich in potassium, you can enjoy bananas as part of a balanced, healthy diet."
For those who do not have kidney disease, do not worry about eating too much bananas, because so that bananas can be harmful, you have to eat in a lot of amount.
Specifically, British nutritionist Catherine Collins once shared his insights with the BBC: "Bananas help maintain a stable heart rate, help activate insulin release from the pancreas to control blood sugar and mandarins.More weight is blood pressure control ".
In healthy people, "eating about 400 bananas a day can create potassium levels that make the heart stop beating", Collins expert added.
