This Easy Hack Makes Sweet Potatoes Way More Blood-Sugar-Friendly
If you’re going to spend time cheffing up a side of veggies, you should probably try to maximize their benefits, no? Similar to how a smoothie may offer more perks than a juice thanks to the added fiber, some vegetables can boast health benefits when prepared one way or another—sweet potatoes included.
We recently sat down with functional medicine expert Amy Sapola, PharmD, director of Farmacy at The Chef’s Garden in Huron, Ohio, on the mindbodygreen podcast to chat about how to make these tasty veggies even healthier. Here, find her blood-sugar-friendly trick.
If you’re trying to make the most out of your sweet potatoes and mitigate a potential spike in blood sugar, Sapola suggests boiling this veggie rather than roasting it. “The preparation technique for a sweet potato can drastically affect the glycemic impact of that sweet potato,” Sapola explains.
To be specific, Sapola says that roasting sweet potatoes can take their glycemic index score from a 60 to a 90—pretty drastic for such a simple change. Now, experts will usually advise against boiling your vegetables, since you lose many of their valuable nutrients in the cooking water. “However, sweet potatoes are a very rare exception,” says Sapola, especially when it comes to your blood sugar response. Just be sure to let your potatoes sit in the pot for more than just a few minutes, Sapola says. “Boiling sweet potatoes whole for 20 minutes covered is actually the best way to keep the glycemic impact low,” she explains.
After your potato has boiled and cooled, it’s time to get creative with preparation. You may opt for a healthier spin on a classic mashed potato side. Or if you’re ready to dive into fall, a sweet potato soup can serve as the perfect comfort food. Either way, you’ll be soaking up all of the nutrients of the sweet potato while potentially minimizing the following blood sugar spike. And if you’d rather bake your sweet potatoes? That’s fine, too: The nutritious veggie boasts plenty of health benefits, even if it does cause a bit of a glucose spike.
恶拿督被“抄家”！由数个执法单位所组成的特工队于日前成功瓦解一个由拿督级商人为首的非法集团，充公了3,800万令吉现金，市值 6,000万令吉的200KG黄金以及17辆豪华房车。最令人乍舌的是特工队指出，被充公的近亿令吉财产当中，只有900万令吉的钱是来自正当渠道，剩余的均来自逃税和走私等非法活动！
“根据调查，被充公的近亿令吉财产中，只有900万令吉是嫌犯从一家名为BK8的国际合法线上娱乐平台上博彩赢得的合法收入。特工队将退还这900万令吉给嫌犯家属，但嫌犯仍会面临刑事指控。”，一名执法人员在记者会上说道。
官方调查报告进一步显示该拿督级商人是BK8的VIP会员，并且该900万令吉是在被逮捕前的一个月从BK8的私人百家乐赌桌Salon Privé上赢得的。不少网民对该拿督级商人从百家乐赢得900万令吉的事迹感到十分震惊，戏称他白白浪费了百家乐天赋去从事违法活动。
