Sweet potatoes are one of the best complex carbohydrate sources that you will ever come across.
A carbohydrate is said to be complex when its digestion is slow and provides sustained energy for a longer period of time which ensures energy levels do not drop down throughout the day. Also, as they are high in fiber they keep you full for longer.
Some more benefits of sweet potatoes are:
1. Low calorie and filling at the same time, thus making them a perfect choice while trying to lose fat.
2. Loaded with beta-carotene which is responsible for good skin, hair, vision and our immune system.
3. High in potassium and other antioxidants.
Apart from being highly nutritious, they are delicious as well?
Always opt for sweet potatoes from street vendors instead of regular potato fries from large corporations. This way you can help the needy and stay on track with your goals at the same time!
Pro Tip: You can air fry some sweet potatoes instead of deep frying your regular potatoes and enjoy guilt-free snacking!
