SWEET POTATOE BROWNIES: OPEN YOUR BELLY TO GREATNESS

WHY SWEET POTATOES?

Sweet potatoes contain high doses of most nutrients such as Vitamin A, C, B1, B6, manganese, copper, pantothenic acid, potassium, and niacin.  They are also high in antioxidants, which are compounds in plants that protect your cells from damage.  If you like the taste of Sweet potatoes, then incorporate them in your diet as much as possible.   Sweet potatoes are high in fiber, and when it comes to fiber most diets don't get close to the 20 to 35 grams recommended for health.    Fiber helps you digest your food properly, which can cut your chances of getting constipated or developing hemorrhoids.  In addition, when you eat fiber regularly, you are also less likely to get heart disease and certain types of cancer.
