Sweet Potatoes
If you’re planning on preparing sweet potatoes, there’s something you should know: if you boil them instead of baking them (which you may want to do from now on) — they release a peptide that could lower your cholesterol, and help you lose weight.
Researchers believe sweet potato peptide is beneficial to your waistline and your health because it helps your body digest fat more efficiently and curb your appetite.
So next time you boil a batch of sweet potatoes, make sure you save the water — because the potato waste water is the best source of the peptides. Put it in a storage container in the fridge and use it in smoothies, for soups and sauces, to cook rice in or for any other recipe you can think of. But whatever you do, make sure you use your slimming sweet potato water within a few days, otherwise it will go bad. And most importantly, make sure you buy organic sweet potatoes, so you don’t end up drinking a cup full of pesticide residue.
