Health Treat With A Twist

At times we may get severely bored with diets. I came up with a pretty awesome solution one day that would change my life forever. Its a weird combination that I still get ragged on til this day, but seeing the health benefits makes it a lot easier to accept.

 Here is the treat!

 - 1 medium baked Sweet Potato with the skin 


 - 1 tablespoon of natural peanut butter 


 - Cut the sweet potato sliced horizontally 


 - Place peanut butter inside and close it up.


 - Let it sit for 1 minute


 - Enjoy awesome! 

 Now people may get freaked out by this, but don't knock it until you try it. Here are some health benefits of sweet potato.

 - low in sodium 


 - low in saturated fats


 - low in cholesterol


 - Good source of fiber 


 - Good source of vitamins B6, A, C, potassium, iron, calcium, manganses 


 - Contains Carotenoids which help stabilize blood sugar levels and lowers insulin resistance thus making the cells more responsive to insulin treatment. 

 - Contains an excellent amount of Beta-Carotene which helps fight chronic disease like cancer and heart disease. Also active in helping against inflammations related diseases such as rheumatiod arthritis and asthma. 

So, this complex carb known as the sweet potato is basically a super food if you look at it for a healthy point of view. Keep in mind that natural peanut butter is a good source of healthy fats. This epic combination will keep you full throughout the day. Plus your taste buds will approve. This only taste a whopping 5-8mins to do, so its not time consuming at all.
