Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Melon Concentrate
Metabolic Effect: Melon concentrate can rapidly raise blood sugar levels due to its high sugar concentration. This can cause sudden energy spikes followed by rapid drops, especially for individuals with insulin resistance or at risk of diabetes.
Consumption Recommendation: Instead of consuming melon concentrate alone, consuming it with foods containing fiber and protein can help balance blood sugar. For example, consuming it with some yogurt or nuts ensures that sugar is absorbed more slowly.
Things to Consider: It is important to pay attention to portion control when consuming melon concentrate. A serving of melon concentrate may be equivalent to a few slices of fruit. Excessive consumption can lead to excessive calorie intake and weight gain.
Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories you get from melon concentrate, you may need to walk at a moderate pace for about 80-100 minutes. This will help you maintain energy balance and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
