Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Salep
Metabolic Effect: Salep provides energy due to its carbohydrate content. However, since it may have a high glycemic index, it can raise blood sugar levels rapidly. This is especially important for people with diabetes.
Consumption Recommendation: Instead of consuming salep alone, consuming it with foods high in fiber can balance blood sugar. For example, adding cinnamon or consuming a small amount of walnuts with it can provide a more balanced meal.
Things to Consider: One cup of salep contains approximately as many calories as one slice of bread. Therefore, it is important for those who want to control their weight to pay attention to their portions. Excessive consumption can cause weight gain.
Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories you get from one cup of salep, you need to walk briskly for about 20-25 minutes. This is an exercise that can be easily integrated into your daily activity routine.
