🍌 The Bottom Line

Doctors reveal that eating an overripe banana can cause a range of effects — most of them good. From a natural energy boost to better digestion, heart support, and immune protection, those brown spots aren’t a sign of decay — they’re a sign of ripeness and enhanced nutrition.

As long as the banana isn’t moldy or leaking, it’s perfectly safe — and often healthier — to eat.

So next time you see a banana with a few brown spots, don’t throw it out. Your body (and your taste buds) will thank you.
