Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Peach Nectar
Metabolic Effect: Peach nectar can rapidly increase blood sugar levels due to its high sugar content. The lack of fiber makes this effect even more pronounced.
Consumption Recommendation: Instead of consuming peach nectar alone, consuming it with a protein or fiber-containing snack can help balance blood sugar levels. For example, it can be consumed with a handful of nuts or a few slices of cheese.
Things to Consider: A glass of peach nectar may contain the equivalent of approximately 5-6 sugar cubes. Therefore, it is important for individuals, especially those with diabetes or insulin resistance, to pay attention to its consumption.
Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories from a glass of peach nectar, you need to walk briskly for about 30 minutes. This can help balance your daily energy intake.
