Sweet potatoes supply more beta-carotene than any other vegetable, including carrots. They are also one of the few fat-free sources of vitamin E. The antioxidant vitamin E protects the heart and fights against cancer. These potatoes are definitely sweet nutrition stars as they deliver vitamin C, folate, iron, copper, calcium and fibre. This powerful team of nutrients helps to lower cholesterol, blood pressure and homocysteine levels, boost the immune system, fight cancer, support strong bones, and combat intestinal disease. Sweet potatoes also contain phytochemicals, such as quercetin and chlorogenic acid, to fight cancer and protect the heart. Action Tip: Sweet potatoes can replace yams or potatoes called for in recipes. Enjoy sweet potatoes baked, grilled or microwave. Roasted sweet potatoes or sweet potato fries are also delicious. |
