Bananas are one of the starchiest fruits that are high in potassium. This yellow fruit isn’t only pleasing to the eye, but it also makes you feel full after consuming it. Many people will have a banana or two for breakfast. It’s like a meal on its own.

Cho explained that watermelon and banana are fruits that cool down the body temperature. They are known as ‘buah sejuk’. Therefore, they can’t be eaten together. Why? The eater can easily get diarrhoea.
2) Milk

This is so surprising! We didn’t know it too.
Milk has high protein content, while a banana has acidic components. These two don’t mesh together because it slows the digestion process. Not only that, but it can also cause indigestion.
3) Potato

Eating these two together will trigger acne on your face. Additionally, it’s easier for toxin accumulation. Thus, it’s not advisable to eat bananas and potatoes together.
