Sweet potatoes are one of the best sources of beta-carotene (a molecule that is converted to vitamin A by our livers)
– Antioxidant Activity – Sweet potatoes contain high levels of carotenoids (including beta-carotene), which are good antioxidants. This antioxidant activity can reduce cell damage and impart protection against damaging chemicals from food or our environment. –
Anti-inflammatory Agency – The coloured pigments and anthocyanins found in these tubers can provide anti-inflammatory benefits.
– Blood Sugar Balance – Although starchy, the sweet potato has the potential to improve the regulation of blood sugar. This is because they contain high amounts of fibre. Bear in mind that boiled sweet potato has more benefit in this area than a baked sweet potato (because baking releases the sugars inside the potato)Read more: https://thehealthsciencesacademy.org

Quinoa is one of the most nutrient-dense carbs available today. It’s got a whopping six grams of protein per cup and is the only carb source that contains all nine essential amino acids. Plus, this seed is a complete protein! On top of that, quinoa is high in lysine, the chief amino acid that’s responsible for healing sore muscles after an intense workout
It’s packed with minerals, including iron, phosphorous, manganese and copper. Both copper and manganese help fight free radicals and keep our bones strong, while iron and phosphorous are important for energy production and cancer prevention. Another positive health benefit of quinoa is that it’s loaded with fiber — about 2.5 grams per serving. Among other things, fiber provides a feeling of fullness after a meal, helps maintain a healthy digestive tract and improves insulin control by slowing down the rate of sugar being released into your bloodstream.
