What happens to your body when you eat a sweet potato every day for 60 days straight? A study published in Nutrients observed 58 corporate workers on a controlled diet, with one group consuming 132 grams of sweet potatoes daily. This group experienced a 5% decrease in body weight and a 3.5% reduction in HbA1c levels, the glycated hemoglobin. Another study in Diabetes, Obesity, and Metabolism found that sweet potato extract given to individuals with insulin resistance led to decreased inflammation because of its high antioxidant content. It's also one of the staple carbs of people living in Okinawa, one of the Blue Zones where people live the longest in the world. What's the lesson here? Not all carbs are bad. I've actually made a list of the healthiest carbs that you can incorporate into your diet. Just comment the word carb below and I'll DM it to you for free.
