Anti-inflammatory
Potatoes are rich in antioxidants such as vitamin C and quercetin, which help the body fight free radicals and reduce inflammation. In addition, potatoes are rich in anti-inflammatory plant compounds such as phenolic acid, flavonoids and anthocyanins, which contribute to overall health.
Improve digestion
When potatoes are cooked and cool, part of the starch will be converted into resistant starch. Resistant starch goes to the intestines without digestion, helping to nourish beneficial bacteria in the intestines.
A medium-sized baked potato can provide about 4 grams of fiber, which aids digestion and gives you a feeling of fullness for a long time.
Support immune health
Potatoes are a natural source of vitamin C - a powerful antioxidant that helps reduce inflammation and enhance the functioning of the immune system.
Providing natural electrolytes
Potatoes are a rich source of potassium. Potassium is a mineral lost through sweat and plays an essential role in maintaining muscle function as well as healthy cardiovascular activity.
