Plum Juice - How Many Calories?

Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Plum Juice

• Metabolic Effect: Plum juice is a quick source of energy due to the natural sugars it contains. However, because the fiber content is low, it can quickly raise blood sugar, which can cause sudden energy spikes and subsequent drops. This is a factor to be considered especially for diabetics.
• Consumption Recommendation: Consuming plum juice with fibrous foods instead of consuming it alone can help keep blood sugar at a more balanced level. For example, it can be consumed with a handful of nuts or a few rusks. This combination ensures that sugar is absorbed more slowly.
• Things to Consider: A glass of plum juice can meet some of the daily fruit needs, but excessive consumption can lead to high sugar intake. Portion sizes should be considered, especially for those who want to control their weight and those with diabetes. Consuming fresh plums instead of plum juice is a healthier alternative.
• Exercise Equivalent: Walking at a moderate pace for about 15 minutes may be sufficient to burn the calories taken from plum juice. This helps to burn the calories taken and maintain energy balance.
