Mint - How Many Calories?

Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Mint

• Metabolic Effect: Mint has digestive and stomach-soothing properties. Thanks to the menthol it contains, it has a refreshing effect and helps digestion, especially when consumed after meals. It also has anti-inflammatory properties.
• Consumption Recommendation: You can use mint fresh in salads, dishes or drinks. You can also consume mint tea. Lemon mint tea, in particular, is both a refreshing and immune system-boosting drink.
• Things to Consider: Excessive mint consumption may cause heartburn or reflux in some people. Therefore, it is important for those with stomach ailments to pay attention to mint consumption. A handful of mint is enough.
• Exercise Equivalent: Since mint is a low-calorie food, a light-paced walk of about 5-10 minutes will be enough to burn the calories taken with 100 grams of mint consumption. This can be easily spent during daily activities.
