Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Tat Organic Ketchup
Metabolic Effect: Ketchup can rapidly raise blood sugar levels due to its sugar and starch content. This can cause sudden energy fluctuations, especially in individuals with diabetes, followed by a rapid drop.
Consumption Recommendation: Instead of consuming ketchup alone, consuming it with foods containing protein and fiber can help balance blood sugar. For example, it can be consumed with a whole-grain sandwich or grilled chicken.
Things to Consider: Ketchup may contain high amounts of sugar and salt. Therefore, it is important for individuals who want to control their weight or have high blood pressure to pay attention to the amount of consumption. 2 tablespoons of ketchup contain approximately 1 teaspoon of sugar.
Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories from ketchup, you may need to take a light-paced walk for about 10 minutes. This can help maintain your daily energy balance.
