Sweet Potato Juice!

Why is juicing so good for a healthy body? Juicing makes all of the nutrients in fruits and vegetables readily available, easily and quickly digested and absorbed. You may already realize this but have you ever thought of juicing a sweet potato. Understandably many people have overlooked this vegetable considering that its so dense and starchy. Consider how effective it is to juice a carrot. But what is so great about the sweet potato?

Sweet potatoes are one of the greatest sources of beta-carotene of all vegetables, even higher than carrots. In fact, only 112 calories (a small sweet potato) contains 369% of your daily need of vitamin A. They are also plenteous in vitamin C, potassium, calcium, and carbohydrates, and are a good source of fiber. Surprisingly, they are even a rare low-fat source of vitamin E. Choosing from 58 vegetables, the Center for Science in the Public Interest ranked sweet potatoes as number one in Vitamins A and C, folate, iron, copper calcium, and fiber, far below the white potato. History has shown that people can live exclusively on sweet potatoes and remain healthy and strong.

With all of this in mind direct access to the juice of the sweet potato is an express line to all of these wonderful benefits, with the exception of fiber. Sweet potato juice may seem counteractive but give it a shot. After getting used to the taste a difference can be noticed. Of course invest in a high quality juicer.
