Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Apricot Nectar
Metabolic Effect: Apricot nectar can rapidly raise blood sugar levels due to its natural and added sugars. Because of its low fiber content, the feeling of fullness may be short-lived.
Consumption Recommendation: Instead of consuming apricot nectar alone, pairing it with a snack containing protein or fiber may help balance blood sugar levels. For example, it can be consumed with a handful of hazelnuts or a few almonds.
Things to Consider: A glass of apricot nectar is roughly equivalent to a serving of fruit juice, and although it may seem innocent, its calorie and sugar content can be high. Especially those who want to manage their weight and diabetic patients should pay attention to their portions.
Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories you get from apricot nectar, you may need to take a light-paced walk for about 15-20 minutes. This time may vary depending on the amount consumed and your metabolic rate.
