Sweet Potatoes for a Sweeter Health

Sweet Potatoes have been a favorite Thanksgiving treat for many years and people are still in the dark on the mega health benefits they give to one's diet. Commonly known as yam, this tuber with heart-shaped leaves comes in a variety of colors - purple, red, light yellow or white, depending on where they are grown.

Called as Ipomoea Batatas in the scientific world, it must be noted that there are two kinds of sweet potatoes: dry and moist. This vegetable is full of fiber and beta-carotene which are equal to those found in carrots. Rich in Vitamin C and Potassium, just a small yam can give you half of your daily needs.

Here are the Top Reasons to Love Sweet Potatoes:

  1. Sweet Potatoes are rich in antioxidants which give your body the strongest defense against free radicals damage. Not only do sweet potatoes taste great, but these are superb immunity boosters as well.
  2. Stopping your sweet tooth with sweet potatoes can keep you feeling full for hours. Contrary to popular belief that all potatoes are bad, this vegetable is an exception to the rule. Rich in starch yet being fat-free, sweet potatoes will fill you with healthy fiber to keep you stay in shape.
  3. Sweet potatoes are good substitutes for rice and are easily digested. If you want to build muscle mass, you may want to snack on these hearty treats that give you a powerhouse of energy to keep you active.
  4. The aroma of sweet potatoes are great in giving relief to those suffering nasal congestion to asthma. The anti-inflammatory properties of this vegetable is so unique that no other potatoes share its quality.
  5. The mix of essential nutrients like Vitamin-B complex, magnesium and zinc helps ease your joint pains caused by arthritis. Water used for boiling sweet potatoes can also be applied as a topical agent to ease your pain.

Remember to choose the reddish variety if you are after its potent aroma. If you like juicier flesh, go for the pale variety. A baked sweet potato ( 3 oz ) contains zero fat and 90 calories, which makes feasting on it a smarter choice than your favorite bag of potato chips.
