Sweet Potatoes: SuperFood or Super-Fad?

*****
Summary of Transcript:
In this YouTube video, Dr. Gundry discusses sweet potatoes and explains why they are a superfood. Unlike regular potatoes, sweet potatoes are low in lectins, high in vitamins A and C, and contain a good amount of B vitamins. Sweet potatoes are also loaded with healthy-promoting polyphenols and are rich in resistant starches, which act as soluble fiber and feed the good bacteria in your gut. To unlock the most resistant starch possible from sweet potatoes, it’s recommended to cook them, cool them, and then reheat them. When ordering sweet potatoes at restaurants, asking about the oil they are cooked in is important. Dr. Gundry asks his viewers to suggest which superfood they want him to discuss in the next episode.

Are sweet potatoes just another food fad, or are they superfoods? In Dr. Gundry’s latest YouTube series, SuperFood or SuperFad, he delves into food and diet trends to uncover the truth about popular foods. And on this episode, he talks about one of his favorites, sweet potatoes.

At first glance, sweet potatoes might seem like any old starchy vegetable, but they’re a powerhouse of nutrients. Not only are they loaded with vitamins A and C, but they also contain a good amount of B vitamins. The darker varieties, like orange and purple sweet potatoes, are chock full of health-promoting polyphenols.

But what exactly are resistant starches, and how do they benefit our health? Resistant starches are a carbohydrate that resists digestion in the small intestine and instead move into the colon, where they act as food for our gut bacteria. This promotes the growth of healthy gut bacteria, which can improve digestion, boost our immune system, and reduce the risk of certain diseases.

So, whether you bake, roast, or mash them up, sweet potatoes are a delicious and nutritious addition to any meal. And for those looking to enhance the health benefits of sweet potatoes even further, Dr. Gundry suggests cooking and cooling them before consumption. This will increase the resistant starch content and provide even more gut health benefits.

It’s important to remember that not all superfoods are created equal. But when it comes to sweet potatoes, the evidence suggests they’re more than just a fad. With their impressive nutrient profile and gut-health-promoting properties, sweet potatoes are here to stay as a true superfood.

So, if you want to add more superfoods to your diet, try sweet potatoes. And don’t forget to follow Dr. Gundry on his social media channels to stay up-to-date on the latest food and diet trends.
