Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Ensure
Metabolic Effect: Ensure provides the nutrients the body needs thanks to the vitamins and minerals it contains. It can be supportive, especially in cases of loss of appetite or malnutrition.
Consumption Recommendation: You can consume Ensure as a meal replacement or as a supplement between meals. However, it should not replace a balanced diet. You can determine the frequency and amount of consumption by consulting your doctor.
Things to Consider: Ensure may cause digestive problems in individuals with lactose intolerance because it contains lactose. In this case, lactose-free alternatives can be preferred.
Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories you get from a box of Ensure, you may need to take a light-paced walk for about 1 hour. This may vary depending on your personal metabolism and activity level.
