Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Nutmeg
Metabolic Effect: Nutmeg facilitates digestion and can reduce gas problems due to the essential oils it contains. It is also known for its antioxidant properties, protecting the body against free radicals.
Consumption Recommendation: You can use it to add flavor to your meals and desserts. It goes especially well with milky desserts, soups, and some meat dishes. However, it is important to use it in moderation.
Things to Consider: High consumption can lead to hallucinations and nervous system problems. Be careful not to exceed the daily consumption amount. It is not recommended for pregnant and breastfeeding mothers.
Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories from one teaspoon of nutmeg (53 kcal), it is enough to walk for about 11 minutes. Alternatively, 5 minutes of light-paced running provides the same effect.
