Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Kol Borek
Metabolic Effect: Kol borek raises blood sugar rapidly due to its high carbohydrate and fat content. This can lead to sudden drops in energy and hunger pangs, especially in people with insulin resistance.
Consumption Recommendation: Instead of consuming kol borek alone, consuming it with a food containing protein and fiber (e.g. a glass of buttermilk or a salad) can help balance blood sugar. This combination extends the duration of satiety and provides more balanced energy.
Things to Consider: Kol borek may contain trans fats. Trans fats are harmful to heart health and regular consumption can negatively affect cholesterol levels. Healthier oils should be preferred in homemade pastries.
Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories in a slice of medium-sized kol borek, you may need to walk at a moderate pace for about 40 minutes. This is equivalent to walking about 3-4 kilometers.
