There are many health benefits from sweet potatoes. I personally consider it a 'super food' due to its abundance of vitamins, especially vitamin A. At the end of this blog, I've included a link with nutritional facts about sweet potatoes. My favorite benefit from sweet potatoes are their anti-inflammatory effect. Sweet potatoes will help you ditch the ibuprofen, tylenol, aleve and other pain relievers, as well as their side effects.
