1. Aids Weight Loss

Sweet potato is low on the glycemic index, high in fiber, and is packed with a good amount of potassium and manganese. Sweet Potato is another low-calorie superfood that will keep you full longer than a regular potato. (1)

2. Maintains Vision

One serving of sweet potato has more than 600% of your daily recommended vitamin A. Vitamin A, or beta-carotene, is crucial for eye health and helps the retina absorb and process light. (2)

3. Better Skin Health

The vitamin A found in sweet potatoes can also keep your skin looking healthy and young by fighting the sun’s wrinkles caused by UV rays. It will also cut down excess sebum production and fight off acne. (3)

4. Lowers Cancer Risk

Vitamin A is not only good for your eyes and skin – research has found that people who have a beta-carotene-rich diet may have a lower risk of some types of cancer. Vitamin C also aids in the fight against cancer. (4, 5)

5. Improves Immune System

The high content of vitamin A in sweet potatoes will fight infections, viruses, and infectious disease. Plus, they contain an amazing amount of vitamin C per serving (about 60% DV), which will help you recover from colds faster. (6)

6. Boosts Bone Health & Muscle Growth

What makes sweet potatoes such a great superfood is its amount of vitamin A. It maintains and strengthens bones and teeth, and ensures proper muscle growth in children and growing teens. (7)

7. Faster Wound Healing

Vitamin C plays an essential role in wound healing. Research shows that supplementing vitamin C accelerates wound repair by assisting in the reformation of collagen and giving strength to the new tissue. (8)
