Why you should be adding sweet potatoes to your diet

Improve Eye Health

The Vitamin A we get from the beta-carotene of this vegetable help maintain eye health.

Enhance Heart Health

The fiber found in these delicious roots helps lower cholesterol levels. This happens because fiber binds to the bile acids in the gut and causes the liver to use cholesterol to create more bile. Excess cholesterol is then removed from the bloodstream.

Some potential downsides of consuming too much of this sweet vegetable is that it may increase the risks of kidney stones because it’s rich in oxalates.
