A lot of people are skeptical about the sweetness in sweet potato. Don’t let this scare you, the sweet potatoes are actually very nutritious and really delicious. They are high in vitamins A, B5, B6, thiamin, niacin, potassium, iron, fiber, riboflavin and carotenoids. They are fat-free, relatively low in sodium and have fewer calories than white potatoes.
They also have a lower glycemic index than white potatoes. This means that they are less likely to produce insulin resistance and its accompanying health problems, including weight gain. They provide all-round health benefits and are a great addition to your meals.

Treatments for diabetes
A research on 61 people with type 2 diabetes showed that those who took the extract from sweet potato ‘caiapo’, daily for three months had their blood sugar drop with no significant adverse effects. Caiapo has been used without medical prescription for years in Japan as a food additive for prevention and treatment of diabetes.

Maintains healthy blood sugar levels
Sweet potatoes are actually sweet, but they have a low glycemic index meaning the sugar is released slowly into the bloodstream. Most consumed starchy foods raise blood sugar rapidly, but with sweet potato you will not get a blood sugar spike, rather you will have a steady amount of energy. Research has found the Beauregard sweet potato to be a low- glycemic index food.

Hopefully, a diet of sweet potato will become more widely accepted as a tool in the treatment and prevention of diabetes and in maintaining a healthy blood sugar level.
