Why the sweet potato is effective in relieving the belly and swollen joints

If you are suffering from arthritis, you have probably noticed that pain can come and go depending on your diet, activity level, and even the weather. Maneuvering in the foods you eat can be challenging as you will need to learn to incorporate non-inflaming foods that are natural anti – inflammatory to prevent arthritis pain and improve mobility. One of those foods that help improve this condition is sweet potatoes.

Sweet potatoes have several perks and deserve a place on your regular menu. Their orange color is a clear indication that they contain beta carotene , as well as additional antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and fiber. Carotenoids are a group of powerful antioxidant nutrients found in many fruits and vegetables. The best known is beta carotene, but there are many others. When it comes to arthritis, the carotenoid called beta-cryptoxanthin can reduce the risk of developing inflammation-related disorders, including rheumatoid arthritis .UK researchers found that people who ate diets high in beta-cryptoxanthin were half as likely to develop a form of inflammatory arthritis as those who ate very little beta-cryptoxanthin foods. They found that adding just one extra serving daily to a meal high in beta-cryptoxanthin helped reduce the risk of arthritis.

In addition to that, sweet potatoes or sweet potatoes, especially when consumed with their skin, are an excellent food for digestive health. They provide dietary fiber, complex carbohydrates, and manganese. Sweet potatoes help in the treatment of peptic ulcers, duodenal ulcers, and some other serious intestinal diseases.

Try substituting sweet potatoes for white potatoes (which are inflammatory) whenever you get the chance, and reap the benefits of these more nutritious potatoes not just for joint pain , but for lighter digestion. Remember that good intestinal health is key to staying free of other conditions.

The following is a delicious recipe to prepare a rich sweet potato soup that you will want to serve double. In addition to providing the benefits of sweet potato for digestion and joints, this soup contains other key superfoods in these same areas of our body, such as turmeric and ginger . But we do not say more, it is time to put what we have learned into practice and improve our health.
