Sweet Potatoes

It’s time to load up your dinner plate with a better-for-you spud. Sure, white potatoes have health benefits, but those aren’t as grand as what sweet potatoes have to offer. Not only are sweet potatoes lower on the glycemic index and digest slower, they also protect your pancreas. According to a study done by the University of California, sweet potatoes can boost organ function and lower the chance of getting pancreatic cancer by 50-percent.
