Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Koska Strawberry Jam
Metabolic Effect: Due to its high sugar content, it quickly raises blood sugar and provides instant energy. However, this can lead to a rapid drop in insulin levels, causing quick hunger.
Consumption Recommendation: Instead of consuming it alone, consuming it with fibrous foods such as whole wheat bread or oatmeal helps to balance blood sugar. It is also beneficial to consume it with a protein source (yogurt, milk).
Things to Consider: 1 teaspoon of strawberry jam is roughly equivalent to 1 slice of bread. Especially people with diabetes and those who want to control their weight should pay attention to their portions.
Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories from 1 teaspoon of strawberry jam, you need to walk at a light pace for about 5 minutes. This helps you maintain energy balance by staying active during the day.
