Sweet potatoes... a treasure trove of health benefits

Eating a healthy diet can help you live a long and healthy life, and there are some foods that may make a good improvement in your health, including sweet potatoes, which have many health benefits.

And the British newspaper “Express” quoted a Harvard University study as saying that sweet potatoes are one of the most important sources of beta-carotene, an element that the body converts into vitamin A, and what is meant here is boiled sweet potatoes that retain more beta-carotene and more absorbable nutrients.

The study says that sweet potatoes may be the healthiest of all vegetables, while the American Cancer Society and the American Heart Association suggest that sweet potatoes have nutritional properties that may help reduce the risk of chronic disease.

Previous research confirmed that sweet potatoes have beneficial effects on harmful cholesterol levels, and that their glycemic index is not high, and ranges from low to medium, depending on the type of sweet potato and the method of preparation.
