Sweet Potatoes:
According to health scientists and nutritionists, sweet potatoes are one of the best sources of vitamin A. (1) They are also abundant in the following valuable nutrients:
- Vitamin B-5
- Thiamin
- Niacin
- Riboflavin
- Beta-Carotene
Sweet potatoes are a great food to regularly incorporate into your diet for many reasons including their inflammatory effect, memory-boosting power, vitamin richness, and antimicrobial properties.
Sweet potatoes are also a beauty-boosting food due to their abundance of Vitamin E (for healthy hair growth), Vitamin C (aids in neutralizing oxidative stress), and Vitamin A (for managing sun-damaged skin). (2)
