Healthy Carb Food #9: Sweet Potatoes
Also known as yams, sweet potatoes are not closely related to standard potatoes. Regardless, they are still a healthy and versatile food. They have a high fibre content and are rich in vitamins A and C, and also potassium. They are also high in antioxidants. Sweet potatoes have a carb content of about 93%.
Sweet potatoes take a long time to digest. This means that you feel full for longer, which is ideal for people that are on low-calorie diets to lose weight. They also contain compounds that help maintain a healthy blood sugar level, and also help prevent excess calories from being turned into fat.
