I will briefly tell you about the benefits of sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes are said to have anticancer effects. It is said to be involved in cancer cells, and it is said that people who eat sweet potatoes often have a reduced risk of cancer. It is very helpful in suppressing the proliferation of cancer cells. It is also good for people with poor eyesight.
 
Vitamin A helps with eye health. It contains amazing ingredients that relieve eye fatigue and protect eyesight. It is recommended to consume one small amount a day to prevent eye diseases.
 
It is also very good for intestinal health. Eating it with the skin also helps intestinal health with dietary fiber, which is very helpful for constipation. Fiber plays a role in eliminating waste from the body. And sweet potatoes promote lactic acid bacteria in the intestines, which makes intestinal movement very active and is really good for digestion and absorption.
 
Vitamin D can be consumed through sweet potatoes, and it is said to be a good food for blood sugar because it releases sugar slowly into the bloodstream without raising the glycemic index. Since it digests food slowly, it provides a feeling of fullness, making it a very good food for diet. It is known as a low-calorie, nutrient-rich food.

How to Eat

1. Eat Raw

So how should you eat these sweet potatoes? I will tell you how to consume them to be beneficial from now on. Even the best things can be poisonous if you eat too much or use them incorrectly. Eating sweet potatoes raw means eating them as they are, so enzymes and various nutrients are not destroyed.
 
So you can wash it well and remove any damaged parts or the ends of the stems, and just hold the sweet potato and chew it. If it's too bland or something, you can slice the sweet potato. If you slice the sweet potato, you can slice it with a mandoline or cut it like kimchi, but if you slice it with a mandoline, the sweet potato will become very thin.
 
It's also very tasty to make a different sauce and spread it on it. You can eat it in many forms according to your individual preference, but the thing to keep in mind here is that you should eat it with the skin on. If you don't eat it with the skin on, it won't be of much help to your cardiovascular function, so keep in mind that you should eat the skin. Dietary fiber, potassium, and anthocyanin content are better when eaten raw.

2. Boil and Eat

It's also really good to eat boiled sweet potatoes. We have a method of steaming by putting water in a pot and letting it evaporate, and then there's a method of steaming on top of the pot. It doesn't matter how you do it. It is said that boiling is better than baking in terms of blood sugar.

3. Bake and Eat

Baking sweet potatoes often results in the best taste, but the glycemic index can rise to the 80s, which is not good. So, steaming can actually lower it to the 40s, which is half of that. And it's good to add a little salt when you steam or bake sweet potatoes.
 
If salt is consumed with sweet potatoes, it will further enhance the sweet potato components and the benefits of sweet potatoes. I think it would be good to eat sweet potatoes and salt together even when eaten raw. For those who experience heartburn or indigestion when eating sweet potatoes, it is highly recommended to eat them with salt.
 
However, it is good not to eat too much sweet potatoes at once. Everything should be consumed in moderation. Sweet potatoes, in particular, should be eaten in moderation and slowly. That is, steamed sweet potatoes, roasted sweet potatoes, etc. should be mixed sufficiently with saliva. The same applies to eating them raw. If the saliva is mixed sufficiently for consumption, you won't get sick.
 
It may be better to cook it for taste, and raw for some effects, so you can choose based on your own preference. It is recommended to eat raw sweet potatoes at least twice a week, and the amount doesn't really matter.
Of course, those who like sweet potatoes can eat it once a day, and that's fine too. So, if you eat sweet potatoes like this often, I think the benefits they provide are truly outstanding and can be of great help to your blood vessels.
