There were times when no feast could be held without potatoes. Even now there are people who are ready to eat boiled, fried or mashed potatoes every day.
But before finally switching to such a diet, experts advise thinking about contraindications, because every coin has two sides.
Let's find out whether it is possible to eat potatoes every day and what this can lead to.
The most popular horror story among the people is that you will gain extra weight if you eat potatoes every day.
But in reality, everything is not as many people are used to thinking about potatoes.
Benefits of Potatoes
The tubers contain vitamins B, C, K, P, calcium, iron, phosphorus, a lot of fiber and protein.
The most useful potatoes are considered to be red ones – they are rich in carotene, which is good for vision.
However, most of the vitamins and nutrients are found in the skin, which is most often thrown into the trash.
Therefore, the best option is jacket potatoes, baked in the oven with the skin on.
But you can only eat potatoes with the skin if they were grown in your own backyard and not bought at the market or in a store.
Who needs to eat potatoes?
Firstly, for high blood pressure and cardiovascular diseases.
Secondly, if you have kidney problems.
Thirdly, for problems with the immune system.
Contraindications
A large amount of solanine has a negative effect on the nervous system, so you can’t eat green tubers.
The high glycemic index of potatoes can become a problem in case of metabolic disorders and diabetes.
