Blood Pressure and potatoes- what a combination! Potatoes are a healthy food and very nutritious for us. Lots of articles try and tell you that the potato is not good for us, but it what you add to them that isn’t the best of health foods. They have a Blood pressure lowering compound in them called kukoamines. Potatoes and tomatoes are from the same plant family and this same nutrient is in them also.
Potatoes are also rich in Vitamin B6 that builds our cells and have a whopping amount of vitamin B6 of up to 21% from an average sized potato. This vitamin B6 also provides the brain cells nutrition and our nervous system functions such as a good night’s sleep, helps us deal with stress and other brain functions.
When we eat foods that are high in vitamin B6 such as the potato we can lower our blood pressure, keep our homocysteine levels in the normal ranges, and lower the risk of heart attacks and stroke. Vitamin B6 also helps breakdown glycogen, that sugar which is stored in our muscles and liver for the much needed energy everyday.
A single potato also provides us with about 12% of our daily fiber when you eat the skin also. Eating the skin of a potato will help reduce cholesterol, keep the colon healthy and the bowel.
Go to your local farmers market and find potatoes of several colors all providing us great nutrients for our blood pressure and offering so much great content and vitamins.
