Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Orange Juice
Metabolic Effect: High vitamin C content supports the immune system. However, because it is low in fiber, it can raise blood sugar quickly.
Consumption Recommendation: Instead of drinking orange juice alone, consuming it with a fibrous snack (e.g., a whole-grain biscuit or a handful of nuts) can help balance blood sugar.
Things to Consider: One glass of orange juice is equivalent to the juice of approximately two oranges. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to portion control and not overdo it.
Exercise Equivalent: About 20 minutes of light-paced walking will be sufficient to burn the calories from a glass of orange juice. This helps you strike a healthy balance.
