Potatoes are a staple vegetable in many diets, as an entrée, to unique recipes. Potatoes are also rich in antioxidants, proteins, essential vitamins (Vitamins C and B6), and minerals (such as sodium and potassium). 

Health Benefits of Potatoes

A range of health benefits are associated with potatoes-

  • Bone health: Potatoes are rich in calcium, magnesium, and zinc. These elements are required to produce collagen in the body, which strengthens the bones. 
  • Heart health: Potatoes are low in calories, fiber-rich, filled with Vitamin C, B6, potassium, and significantly lack cholesterol. 
  • Blood pressure: The high potassium and low sodium content of potatoes are essential to lowering blood pressure. An optimal potassium level ensures that blood vessels are wide enough for good blood circulation. 
  • Reduces inflammation risk: Choline, an essential chemical for many brain functions involving learning, memory, moods, as also for transmitting muscle movement functions. A giant potato can contain 57mg of choline. 
  • Reduces cancer risk: Potatoes are rich in phytochemicals such as lycopene, lutein, and folate, essential in DNA repair. Folate-rich foods like potatoes prevent the development of cancer cells. Potatoes are rich in fiber and are recommended veggies to avoid colorectal cancer. 
  • Digestive health: Potatoes are fiber-dense foods that keep feeling full relative to the number of calories eaten. Because potatoes are a high-fiber food, they are suitable for digestive health. 
  • Metabolism: Potatoes are rich in macronutrients (protein, carbs, and fats), micronutrients (fiber, vitamins, minerals) that make one feel full and act as a bulking agent in the digestive tract. Potatoes are high in Vitamin B6, which aids in faster metabolism.
