A glass of sugarcane juice (about 240 ml) contains about 180 calories, mainly from natural sugars (sucrose, glucose and fructose). However, unlike industrial soft drinks, sugarcane water also provides a small amount of minerals such as potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron and phenolic compounds with antioxidant effects.
Apple sugar extract has the ability to improve energy metabolism and help reduce oxidative stress, a factor often associated with weight gain and obesity.
This means that, if used properly, sugarcane juice can become a part of a healthy weight loss regimen.
Dr. Anju Sood, an Indian nutritionist, said that people who are losing weight can drink sugarcane juice, but they need to control the time and amount of consumption.
Drinking a small glass in the morning or after exercise will help the body replenish energy quickly without causing too much fat accumulation.
The ideal time to drink sugarcane juice is:
After exercise: help supplement glycogen for muscles, limit hunger.
In the morning or afternoon: replace greasy snacks, reduce the risk of excess calories.
On the contrary, you should not drink it late at night because the body is less active, easily converting sugar into stored fat.
Smart combination to reduce sugar intake
A simple way to make sugarcane juice "lightder" is to combine it with lemon or ginger. Lemon is rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, which help increase metabolism, while ginger has the ability to stimulate digestion, supporting effective energy burning.
People who are losing weight should only drink 150-200 ml/time, 2-3 times/week, and sugarcane juice should not be considered a daily drink instead of filtered water.
A common mistake is drinking sugarcane juice with energy-rich snacks such as fried cakes, fried spring rolls or fried foods. This combination causes total calories to skyrocket, which is easily counterproductive in the weight loss process.
