I believe that many people will think that sweet potatoes are low in calories and can be eaten in unlimited amounts. But in fact, sweet potatoes are high in sugar and starch, resulting in them not low in calories. Sweet potatoes have about 110 calories per 100 grams, but sweet potatoes are also a lower energy food. This is because sweet potatoes are able to provide more carbohydrates for the body to consume without converting to fat accumulation, so sweet potatoes are relatively low in calories and can be used as a good snack.
2.Calories from sweet potatoes**
In addition to being not low in calories, the calories** of sweet potatoes can also affect the burning effect of the body. The sugars and starches in sweet potatoes are converted into glucose after digestion by the body, and then enter the bloodstream to provide the body with energy. This source of energy is not stored in fat, it is burned cleanly and easily digested, so eating sweet potatoes is not easy to fat.
3.Nutritional value of sweet potatoes
Sweet potatoes contain a lot of carbohydrates, fiber, protein, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients, which are good for maintaining good health and shaping the body. In sweet potatoes, the fiber content is higher, which helps prevent constipation and digestive disorders, and is also able to increase satiety and reduce appetite and snack intake. At the same time, sweet potatoes contain a lot of nutrients such as vitamin A, vitamin C, iron, zinc, and copper, which help to enhance immunity and prevent diseases.
4.Health effects of sweet potato color
We know that sweet potatoes come in red and purple colors, and these colors are not only beautiful but also contribute to the effects on physical health. Red sweet potatoes are rich in vitamin A, which has blood sugar-lowering and anti-cancer effects, while purple sweet potatoes contain more antioxidants, which help slow down aging and prevent many chronic diseases.
5.Different ways of eating sweet potatoes affect the calories and effects
Different ways of eating sweet potatoes can also affect the nutritional value and calories of sweet potatoes. Frying sweet potatoes allows them to absorb a lot of oil, which is not only detrimental, but also increases the body's intake of unhealthy fats. Cooled sweet potatoes help to increase the body's metabolic rate and energy expenditure due to the change in the structure of starch molecules. Another way to eat is to boil sweet potatoes and add a small amount of salt, although this method can better maintain the nutritional value of sweet potatoes, but too high salt will cause edema of the body, reduce the body's metabolic rate and energy consumption, and affect the best effect.
