You may think that eating potatoes is a carbohydrate trap waiting to happen. Well, think again. When taken in proper amounts, potatoes can be a great source of good carbohydrates and essential vitamins and minerals.

Because of many diet fads, carbohydrates have gotten a bad reputation. However scientific evidence indicates that when consumed in moderated amounts carbohydrates do not cause weight gain and obesity; do not automatically cause blood sugar “spikes” and insulin “surges”; and do not cause diabetes, heart disease or cancer.

Carbohydrates are vital to the body. They are the body’s primary source of energy that cutting them out of your diet will mean a breakdown of muscle and other tissues from your vital organs in order to make them. Carbohydrates are also essential for the brain and neurons as they need glucose (which is found in carbohydrates) for energy.

So why settle for anything else, wherein this potato is just a few steps away from us to eat and consume. Always remember that “ A Potato a Day is Good for the Heart”.
