Why I love them!  

1. Potatoes are packed with vitamins and minerals
2. Potatoes are a good source of antioxidants, which may reduce the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease, diabetes and certain cancers
3. Potatoes contain resistant starch, which may help reduce insulin resistance. In turn, this can help improve blood sugar control.
4. Resistant starch in potatoes is a source of nutrition for beneficial gut bacteria. They convert it to the short-chain fatty acid butyrate, which has been linked to reduced inflammation in the colon, improved colon defenses and a lower risk of colorectal cancer.
5. Potatoes are naturally gluten-free, which makes them an excellent option for people with celiac disease or a gluten sensitivity.
6. Studies have shown that potatoes are among the most filling foods. They may increase the levels of fullness hormones, such as cholecystokinin
7. Potatoes are delicious, versatile and easy to add to your diet. Try boiling, baking or steaming them and consuming them with the skin intact.
