3. They contain Vitamin Dwhich is critical for immune system and overall health at this time of

year. Both a vitamin and a hormone, vitamin D is primarily made in our bodies as a result of getting

adequate sunlight. You may have heard about seasonal affective disorder (or SAD, as it is also

called), which is linked to inadequate sunlight and therefore a vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D plays

an important role in our e nergy leve ls, moods, and helps to build healthy bones, he art,

nerve s, skin, and teeth, and it supports the thyroid gland.

4. Sweet potatoes contain iron.Most people are aware that we need the mineral iron to have

adequate energy, but iron plays other important roles in our body, including red and white blood

cell production, resistance to stre ss, proper immune functioning, and the metabolizing of

protein, among other things.

5. Sweet potatoes are a good source of magnesium, which is the relaxation and anti-

stress mineral. Magnesium is necessary for healthy artery, blood, bone, heart, muscle, and nerve

function, yet experts estimate that approximately 80 percent of the population in North America may

be deficient in this important mineral.

Sweet potatoes are wonderful- - Thanks, Michelle, I really like when you

let us know the many ways a food is good for us.

8:14am PST on Feb 1, 2014

I'm guessing the article should read "sweet Potatoes" - not sweet potato

leaves. But thanks for the article!

Sweet potatoes are delicious.Thanks for sharing

2:10pm PST on Jan 28, 2014

I also add cinnamon and some butter to sweet baked potatoes. Love

them about any way they are cooked.

I love sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes have some great nutritional

values. Thanks for this wonderful insight.

This is a great site. Another way to consume sweet potatoes is juicing

them through an extractor. Come check out my site at http://www.juice-

Sweet potatoes are not too popular in Malta and they're not that cheap

either. Still, if all these benefits really arise from eating sweet potatoes,
