Benefits of eating sweet potatoes

1. Anti-cancer effect

The most anti-cancer nutrients in the diet are beta-carotene (a precursor of vitamin A), vitamin C and folic acid, and sweet potatoes are rich in all three. A small sweet potato (about 2 taels) can provide twice the amount of vitamin A required by the human body every day, one-third of the daily amount of vitamin C required, and about 50 micrograms of folic acid; the dietary fiber content is higher than that of a bowl of oatmeal porridge.

2. Good for the Heart

Sweet potatoes are rich in potassium, beta-carotene, folic acid, vitamin C and vitamin B6, all of which help prevent cardiovascular disease. Potassium helps maintain fluid and electrolyte balance in the body's cells and maintain normal blood pressure and heart function. β-carotene and vitamin C have the effects of anti-lipid oxidation and preventing atherosclerosis. Supplementation of folic acid and vitamin B6 can help lower the level of homocysteine ​​in the blood, which can damage arteries and is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease.

3. Prevent emphysema

An animal experiment at the University of Kansas in the United States found that rats that smoked had lower levels of vitamin A in their bodies and were more prone to emphysema; while the incidence of emphysema was significantly reduced in rats that smoked and ate foods rich in vitamin A. Why some long-term smokers live to be over 90 years old without developing emphysema may be related to the rich vitamin A content in their daily diet. Researchers recommend that smokers or those exposed to passive smoking should eat foods rich in vitamin A, such as sweet potatoes, every day to prevent emphysema.

4. Sweet potatoes can prevent influenza

As the weather turns colder, the flu storm strikes again. A recent article published by American media pointed out that sweet potatoes can help resist influenza and prevent colds.
