Durian is delicious, but no matter how much you like it, you should only eat this much.

Although durian is a very good source of nutrition, it also contains a lot of calories and carbohydrates so we should consume it in moderation, according to the Vibravadi Hospital news site.

So how much durian a day is good for health?

You should not eat more than 2 - 3 durian segments per day.

Thailand's Ministry of Public Health recommends moderate consumption of durian, no more than 2-3 segments per day, as it can cause heat and weight gain, according to the health website Health Exchange.

The notice stated: If you want to enjoy the benefits and nutritional value of durian, you should not eat more than 2-3 segments per day, avoid eating regularly and reduce the amount of starch in your main meals, according to Vibravadi Hospital.

If you eat 4-6 packs, your body will receive the same amount of calories as 2 main meals. At that time, you should reduce your portion size in the main meal.

Experts from Changi General Hospital (Singapore) also recommend eating only 2-3 durian segments per day, according to Health Exchange.

7 tips for eating durian for good health

In addition to recommending moderate durian consumption, the Thai Ministry of Public Health also offers 7 tips for healthy durian consumption as follows:

Diabetics should limit eating durian.

1. Choose durian that is not too ripe because the riper the fruit, the sweeter it will be and the more starch and sugar it will contain.
2. Eat durian in the morning or during the day, avoid eating before going to bed. Durian has a high calorie content, which will cause fat accumulation in the body because the body does not burn all the energy near bedtime. And if you eat durian, reduce the amount of starch and sugar in other meals, according to Vibravadi Hospital.
3. Do not eat durian with high-energy foods because it will increase the calorie intake even more.
4. Do not combine with alcohol or soft drinks because durian contains a lot of fat and carbohydrates.
5. You should drink plenty of water after eating durian to help cool down because durian is "hot".
6. Eating durian can easily lead to weight gain, so you should take the time to exercise after eating to help burn energy and avoid fat storage. Combining exercise with diet restrictions can help control weight during durian season.
7. Diabetics should limit their intake of durian. This fruit has a high sugar content. Eating too much durian or too often can affect blood sugar levels. It is best to consult a doctor before eating.
