Sweet Potatoes

When talking about keeping blood sugar levels low, people are often surprised when they learn that sweet potatoes are actually a great food for regulating blood glucose levels. The reason they’re surprised is because of the fact that, as the name implies, sweet potatoes have a distinctly sweet taste, and people associate sweetness with sugar.

Despite having a sweet taste, sweet potatoes are actually low in naturally occurring sugars and they have a low G.I ranking.

Sweet potato is not only low in sugars, but it is also rich in fiber which slows digestion, promotes satiety, and improves digestive health. Combine this with its high antioxidant content, and it’s easy to see why the sweet potato is considered so healthy.
