🍠 Benefits of sweet potato

Sweet potatoes have many beneficial qualities and can help you in many ways:

  • Sweet potatoes are said to be high in carbohydrates which are really good if you are an active person. Carbs give you more energy as they contain starch (approx. 53%) and smaller sugar molecules such as glucose, fructose, maltose, and sucrose (approx. 32%). This makes them very energy-packed power meals.
  • They are high in protein and fiber which is fantastic for body building and even growth and repair. personal trainers often notice that people focus on protein but tend to leave out the fiber which is in fact quite important in your body. It is responsible for healthy digestion, burning fat, and building muscle.
  • anthocyanins present in (purple) sweet potatoes help with liver damage and recovery. Anthocyanins are said to have antioxidant properties meaning that they are good for overall health and can help keep those who are exposed to high pollution levels and even cigarette smoke, in better condition.
  • Improving skin health, controlling blood pressure, development, and improving your metabolism are multiple other reasons why you may prefer to eat it as an alternative to other vegetables.

There is no reason to even think twice before chopping one or two into your meals. You can choose to use it as an alternative to normal potatoes as it is attributed to weight loss and is a favorite amongst athletes.
