Sweet potato, with its many benefits, is a culinary gem that has solidified its place in our cuisine, and has been neglected and not often thought of due to its enormous benefits to human health. If we were to summarize its benefits based on the studies done on it, the benefits from blindness to diabetes, cancer to hypertension would be countless. It is in the royal family among foods with its proven anti-cancer and rheumatic disease healing effects and numerous benefits thanks to the high dose of beta carotene (vitamin A) it contains. According to a study conducted in Taiwan in 2015, its anti-rheumatism effect and anti-cancer effect were shown to be due to the substance called anthocyanin in its content, and it was shown that it had an effect on stopping the proliferation of cancer cells (1). It should not be forgotten to add that it is a rich source of zinc, magnesium and calcium, and that it will be more than enough as a nutritional product for patients with problems such as anxiety, depression, and inadequate functioning of the body defense system due to the deficiency of these elements, and that it will regulate the defecation habit with its fiber-rich structure. It has been clearly seen that it prevents the hardening of cholesterol, which clogs the arteries and prevents the formation of fatty deposits on the vascular wall, which causes cardiovascular system diseases, which are the leading causes of death, from which millions of people suffer all over the world. It should also be known that this study, in which even the leaves of the plant stand before our eyes as a miracle of the Creator, was demonstrated through tests conducted both in laboratory environments and on humans (2). In addition, sweet potatoes are at the forefront of babies' nutrition because they are easily digested and have a low risk of allergies.
