Drink Healthy Fruit Jus, Just One Glass A Day

JAKARTA - Jus fruit looks healthy, consuming it indefinitely can actually increase sugar intake quickly. This drink often contains natural sugar from fruit in higher quantities than when eating whole fruit, which can trigger a spike in blood sugar. Therefore, it is important to limit the portion of fruit juice to stay healthy.

Ditetisien dari Rumah Umum Umum Pusat Nasional Cipto Mangunkusumo (RSCM) Jakarta, Luthfianti Diana Mauludiyah SGz, RD, menyaran mengonsumsi juice buah cukup satu kaca per hari atau sekitar 200 milliliter.

"The sugar content can increase because more fruit is used in one glass," he said, as quoted by ANTARA.

Diana explained, when making fruit juice, it is better to use a blender than affine. The use of erasers can reduce fiber content, reduce nutrients due to heat from the turn of the device, and make blood sugar rise faster because the fiber is wasted. On the other hand, blenders destroy all parts of the fruit, including skin and grounds, so that the fiber remains intact, nutrients are maintained, and the saturation lasts longer.

He added that fruit juice should be made alone at home without additional sugar or condensed milk. "Jus is made in itself much better than packaged juice, because there are no additional sugar or preservatives," Diana said.

Even though fruit juice has health benefits, consumption of whole fruit is still more recommended. Complete fruit helps control the portion, prevent excess fructose, and maintain a longer feeling of fullness.

For those who are on a diet, the padukan fruit is high in fiber and low in natural sugar, such as apples, priors, oranges, strawberries, kiwi, and papaya, in a balanced diet. Watery fruit with low calories, such as watermelons and melons, can also be an option. While avocado is useful for increasing saturation due to its healthy fat content.

In addition, combining various fruit colors is recommended because each color contains different phytonutrients that are beneficial to the body.
