Here’s Why Eating Sweet Potato Is Good For You!

Hello dolls, today’s topic is ” Sweet potato”!!! I will be sharing a few reasons on why it should be part of your diet and when you should eat it moderately. Personally, sweet potatoes are always part of my grocery list; I boil and fry them, but my favorite way to eat them is baked.

What are sweet potatoes? Sweet potatoes are a rich source of fiber and potassium. They also contain tons of vitamins and minerals including iron, calcium, selenium, and they’re a good source of most of our B vitamins and vitamin C.

Why sweet potatoes are important !!!

Vision

One of the key nutritional benefits of sweet potato is an antioxidant known as beta-carotene, which converts to vitamin A once consumed. Vitamin A deficiency can damage vision leading to clouding of the front of the eye. Therefore, correcting vitamin A deficiencies with foods high in beta-carotene can restore vision.

Have Beautiful Skin

Sweet potatoes are also rich in vitamin C and Vitamin E, both are very important in keeping the skin healthy and glowing. Vitamin C helps boost collagen, which tightens your skin. Sweet potatoes are also a rich source of anthocyanins that help with blemishes and dark spots.

Blood pressure.

Sweet potatoes are also high in potassium, which works in balance with sodium in your body . Moreover, the high fiber content of sweet potatoes can lower your LDL (bad) cholesterol levels which can help to prevent cardiovascular disease.

Cancer

Another thing I have learned is that Sweet potato peels, particularly those of the purple varieties, may be powerful when it comes to cancer prevention. Sooo, but I have to eat it more often.

According to this study, Up to 80% of the protein in sweet potatoes is a type of storage protein known as sporamin. This distinctive protein has been known for its anti-cancer ability and can be found to be effective in several disease types such as gallbladder, and colorectal cancers.

When you need to moderate your intake.

Sweet potatoes contain oxalates which bind calcium and other minerals. Having too many oxalates in your diet may result in kidney stones. You should take it in moderation if you have existing kidney stones or if you are at risk. For necessary precautions, contact your healthcare provider.

Presiii Turns Two Today!!!

Presiii Turns Two Today!!!

How exciting is that? I have been blogging for 2 years now, and let me tell you that I have learned so much and still have a lot of figuring to do.

Honestly, I can say that I had an amazing year… When I got started, I started blogging about lifestyle and health but didn’t quite know that I would launch a whole Life Planner.  By far this was one of the best accomplishments I have done in 2019. I  am ready to master my craft and expend in every way possible.

The year of 2020 is the year to get proper coaching, find myself and  be consistent. 2019 I have learned to take the leap, I  have learned to try without having all the resources and this year is to master my craft. I literally can’t wait to share all the blogiversary to come with you. In the meantime I want to think all of you who have  contributed to this blog and to my business.

Love,

Presiii

When Technologies Meet Convenience, My Life Gets a Bit Easier!

When Technologies Meet Convenience, My Life Gets a Bit Easier!

According to the Time Use Institute, the average shoppers spend 41 minutes for a grocery trip. It also varies by the day of the week or time a day because from experience I spend more time at the grocery store on the weekend; especially Sunday. I also vow not to go to the store, mainly Walmart on a Sunday afternoon. So, how is technology changing the way you shop? I personally think that it is a great way to focus your time on other stuff by letting the stores do the shopping for you. It is beneficial because, One: people usually live between 5 to 30 minutes from their local stores. Two: They have to spend between 41 minutes to two hours at the store.  Therefore, Free grocery pick up or delivery is the best thing that could ever happen.Continue reading
