Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Mango Jam

Metabolic Effect: Due to its high sugar content, it quickly raises blood sugar levels and increases insulin secretion. This can lead to sudden energy drops and, in the long term, insulin resistance.
Consumption Suggestion: Instead of consuming it alone, consuming it with high-fiber whole grain bread or oatmeal can balance blood sugar. Adding a protein source such as cheese or yogurt alongside it will also be beneficial.
Things to Consider: 1 tablespoon of mango jam is equivalent to approximately 1 slice of bread. Due to its high sugar content, diabetics and those who want to control their weight should limit their consumption.
Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories from 1 tablespoon of mango jam, you need to walk for about 10 minutes. Balancing it with longer activities will be healthier.
