In the past, in difficult times, children from poor families could only eat sweet potatoes to fill their stomachs. However, now only those who understand health preservation know the benefits of eating sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes are rich in fiber, vitamins A, B, C, E and more than 10 trace elements such as potassium, iron, copper, selenium and calcium, and have high nutritional value. The weather is hot in the summer, and even though you may have no appetite, you cannot sacrifice your nutritional intake.

In fact, nutritionist Zhao Hanying said that sweet potatoes are non-refined starch foods and are especially rich in fiber, with 2.4 grams of fiber per 100 grams, which is very eye-catching among starchy foods. The recommended daily fiber intake for Chinese people is about 28 grams. Just by eating a 200-gram sweet potato every day, you can get 4.8 grams of fiber, which can be said to be easy to obtain. 【Golden sweet potato fries】 <Ingredients>: 2 sweet potatoes, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1/2 tablespoon olive oil, 2 teaspoons white sesame seeds. <Method>: 1.

They can replace the original staple foods such as rice, bread, and toast with lower nutritional value. However, do not use sweet potatoes as a main meal just to lose weight. Often, you will not feel full after eating one, and the calories will be too high if you eat two. You must pay special attention. Sweet potato peel can be eaten. It is rich in polysaccharides such as mucus protein, which can lower blood cholesterol, maintain blood vessel elasticity, and prevent cardiovascular diseases such as vascular sclerosis and hypertension. Sweet potato leaves contain more antioxidants than sweet potato flesh, can remove cancer-causing oxidative free radicals, and are a good anti-cancer food. |
