Why does drinking certain fruit juices increase blood sugar?
Fiber deficiency- When we eat fruits, fiber helps our body absorb glucose slowly, but when we drink juice, the fiber is released. Due to this the glucose level increases rapidly.
High amount of sugar – Many fruits have high amounts of natural sugar. When we drink juice, we consume too much sugar at once, due to which the blood sugar level suddenly increases.
Which fruit juices should diabetic patients not drink?
Although all fruits contain sugar, some fruits have more. Diabetic patients should avoid drinking juice of these fruits.
Pineapple- Pineapple contains a lot of natural sugar. Additionally, it also has a high glycemic index, which means it can raise blood sugar rapidly. Therefore it is beneficial to eat it whole. Don’t put juice in it.
Orange:- Many people like to drink orange juice in the morning, but let us tell you that by eating whole orange, its fibers also enter the body, which helps in controlling the sugar level. Therefore, do not drink its juice, otherwise sugar may increase.
Apple: There is no doubt that apple is beneficial for health, but eating it whole is beneficial for health. Drinking its juice can increase blood sugar.
