๐ Exploring the Potential of Sweet Potatoes in Cancer Prevention ๐๏ธ
Letโs dive into the nutritional world of sweet potatoes, beyond beta-carotene, to discover their role in breast cancer prevention.
Nutritional richness of sweet potatoes:
๐ฟ Source of fiber, manganese, pantothenic acid and vitamin B6.
๐ Purple varieties, particularly nutritious, offer an abundance of anthocyanins, peonidins, cyanidins and delphinidins, which have chemopreventive properties.
Impact on health:
๐ Consumption linked to a reduced risk of cancers, including kidney cancer.
๐ Anthocyanins in purple sweet potatoes reduce the risk of breast cancer and enhance the effectiveness of treatments like Herceptin.
๐ฏ Cyandin-3-glucoside, present in these varieties, has an inhibitory effect on angiogenesis and proliferation of HER2+ and triple negative cells.
Incorporating sweet potatoes into your cooking:
To maximize their benefits, here are some recipe ideas:
- Sweet potato puree: Mix the cooked potatoes with a little olive oil and aromatic herbs.
- Roasted Sweet Potatoes: Dice, season and roast in the oven.
- Warm Salad: Add roasted sweet potatoes to your salad for a sweet and nutritious twist.
- Baked Sweet Potato Fries: A healthy alternative to regular fries, without the added sugar or excessive fat.
Important reminder:
๐ Avoid preparations that increase the glycemic index, such as frying or adding sugar. Opt for cooking methods that preserve nutrients and anti-cancer properties.
