People who follow a healthy lifestyle try to exclude potatoes from their daily diet. However, experts believe that it should not be completely abandoned. They also told what benefits it can bring and how to use it so that extra pounds are not added.

Thanks to the high content of potassium, potatoes help to avoid many unpleasant consequences that arise from its deficiency. Potassium is responsible for the normal functioning of the nervous and cardiovascular systems.

In addition, this vegetable is rich in calcium, magnesium, zinc and iron.

Experts explained that potato tubers contain the so-called “resistant” starch. In the process of cooking or baking potatoes, starch changes its structure. However, after complete cooling, it becomes “stable”.

Thus, gastric juice cannot dissolve it completely, which allows it to reach the large intestine. Such starch acts as a prebiotic – it nourishes the beneficial bacteria of the intestinal microbiome. As a result, a person gets control over blood sugar, clear skin and a reduced risk of overeating.
