In general, durian can be consumed in moderation during weight loss periods, but it is important to control the intake amount.
Durian is a tropical fruit rich in various nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber, protein, and fat. Eating durian in moderation can supply essential nutrients to the body, help enhance immune function, and the dietary fiber in durian can aid gastrointestinal motility, promote digestion, and facilitate bowel movements.
However, it is important to consume it in moderation to avoid excessive calorie and sugar intake. In addition to controlling durian consumption, maintaining a balanced and diverse diet combined with appropriate physical activity is necessary to achieve better weight loss results. It is recommended to consume more vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and other foods rich in dietary fiber, while also increasing protein intake from sources such as fish, poultry, eggs, and dairy products. Additionally, maintaining regular exercise habits, such as brisk walking, jogging, or swimming, can help burn excess body fat. Only through a combination of balanced nutrition and appropriate exercise can one achieve healthy weight loss.
