Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Almond Dessert
Metabolic Effect: Almond dessert provides quick energy due to its high sugar content but raises blood sugar rapidly. This is a point to be considered especially for individuals with insulin resistance or diabetes.
Consumption Recommendation: Instead of consuming almond dessert alone, consuming it with fibrous foods or protein sources can help balance blood sugar. For example, consuming a glass of milk or a few almonds with it may be beneficial.
Things to Consider: A medium portion of almond dessert contains approximately the equivalent carbohydrates as 3 slices of bread. Therefore, if you are mindful of your daily sugar intake, it is important to keep your consumption amount under control.
Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories you get from a medium portion of almond dessert, you need to walk at a moderate pace for about 75 minutes. Alternatively, 40 minutes of brisk running can provide the same effect.
