Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Tangerine Juice
Metabolic Effect: Tangerine juice is a rapid source of energy due to the natural sugars it contains. However, because its fiber content is low, it can rapidly raise blood sugar levels and then cause sudden drops. This situation can lead to you feeling hungry again in a short time.
Consumption Recommendation: Instead of consuming tangerine juice alone, consuming it with a fiber-rich snack (e.g., a handful of almonds or a slice of whole wheat bread) can help blood sugar levels rise more balanced. This combination ensures that you stay full longer.
Things to Consider: One glass (200 ml) of tangerine juice contains approximately 86 calories. This is approximately equivalent to one small serving of fruit. It is important for those who want to control their weight in particular to pay attention to their portions and consider other sugary drinks they consume during the day.
Exercise Equivalent: To burn the 86 calories from tangerine juice, you need to walk at a moderate pace for about 12 minutes. Alternatively, running for 7 minutes or cycling for 15 minutes can provide the same effect. Exercise helps balance blood sugar and expend energy.
