Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Gummy Bear
Metabolic Effect: Gummy bears raise blood sugar quickly due to their high sugar content and provide instant energy. This can cause fluctuations in insulin levels and subsequent energy dips.
Consumption Recommendation: Instead of consuming gummy bears alone, consuming them with a fibrous food can help balance blood sugar. For example, you can consume it with a few almonds or a small fruit.
Things to Consider: Gummy bears are harmful to dental health due to their high sugar content and excessive consumption can lead to weight gain. A handful of gummy bears is equivalent to about 2 tablespoons of sugar.
Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories from a handful of gummy bears, you need to walk briskly for about 15 minutes. This helps you balance your blood sugar and expend energy.
