Root vegetables that grow in the ground have long been known to cause blood sugar spikes and bloating, but putting potatoes in that category would be an overstatement on their own health.

Researchers have revealed that potato is a nutrient-dense vegetable that has numerous health benefits.

Nutritionists say that there is a misconception about potatoes that they contain no nutrition but only starch, i.e. sweetness, which only causes obesity, such assumptions scare dieters and they eliminate them from their diet, although the reality is the opposite.

According to nutritionists, 173 grams of potatoes have 161 calories, while vitamin B6, potassium, copper, vitamin C, manganese, phosphorus, fiber and vitamin B3 are also abundant.

Quitting eating potatoes does not prove that now a person who wants to lose weight will become slimmer and smarter.

In the case of not eating potatoes, it cannot be argued that obesity will not occur or that only potatoes cause obesity.

Fitness experts recommend eating boiled potatoes for people who do vigorous exercise on a daily basis, proving that potatoes are a healthy food and not a bad one.

Nutritionists say that every food is healthy in moderation and harmful in excess, similarly potatoes can be used to improve health and eliminate many complaints.

According to nutritionists, there is a unique acid in potatoes that improves mental health, people suffering from Alzheimer’s disease should consume potatoes as much as possible.

The potassium in potatoes relaxes muscles and repairs muscles affected by exercise or fatigue, potatoes strengthen bones due to the presence of calcium.

According to nutritionists, while potatoes contain carbohydrates, they also contain fiber, which improves the efficiency of the digestive system.

Consumption of potatoes balances blood pressure, as a salad, potatoes can be baked or boiled.
