What are the benefits of Sweet Potatoes?
Do the Okinawans, one of the longest-living populations, really live as long as people claim? (It may be hard to find birth certificates from the 1890s!) Indeed, validation studies suggest that they do live that long.
If you look at the traditional diets of more than 2,000 Okinawans, this is how it breaks down: less than 1 percent of their diet was fish, less than 1 percent was other meat, and the same with dairy and eggs. So, the Okinawans’ diet was more than 96 percent plant-based and more than 90 percent whole food, plant-based as they ate very few processed foods. What’s more? Their diet wasn’t just overwhelmingly whole food, plant-based. Most of their diet was vegetables, and one vegetable in particular—sweet potatoes.
