This Easy Hack Makes Sweet Potatoes Way More Blood-Sugar-Friendly
If you’re going to spend time cheffing up a side of veggies, you should probably try to maximize their benefits, no? Similar to how a smoothie may offer more perks than a juice thanks to the added fiber, some vegetables can boast health benefits when prepared one way or another—sweet potatoes included.
We recently sat down with functional medicine expert Amy Sapola, PharmD, director of Farmacy at The Chef’s Garden in Huron, Ohio, on the mindbodygreen podcast to chat about how to make these tasty veggies even healthier. Here, find her blood-sugar-friendly trick.
If you’re trying to make the most out of your sweet potatoes and mitigate a potential spike in blood sugar, Sapola suggests boiling this veggie rather than roasting it. “The preparation technique for a sweet potato can drastically affect the glycemic impact of that sweet potato,” Sapola explains.
To be specific, Sapola says that roasting sweet potatoes can take their glycemic index score from a 60 to a 90—pretty drastic for such a simple change. Now, experts will usually advise against boiling your vegetables, since you lose many of their valuable nutrients in the cooking water. “However, sweet potatoes are a very rare exception,” says Sapola, especially when it comes to your blood sugar response. Just be sure to let your potatoes sit in the pot for more than just a few minutes, Sapola says. “Boiling sweet potatoes whole for 20 minutes covered is actually the best way to keep the glycemic impact low,” she explains.
After your potato has boiled and cooled, it’s time to get creative with preparation. You may opt for a healthier spin on a classic mashed potato side. Or if you’re ready to dive into fall, a sweet potato soup can serve as the perfect comfort food. Either way, you’ll be soaking up all of the nutrients of the sweet potato while potentially minimizing the following blood sugar spike. And if you’d rather bake your sweet potatoes? That’s fine, too: The nutritious veggie boasts plenty of health benefits, even if it does cause a bit of a glucose spike.
Hong Kong fengshui Master Mak Ling Ling has once again show her magic as a Penang man won the biggest prize worth of SGD590,472 from Grand Dragon 4D in his life after watching <Mak Ling Ling 2023 Chinese Zodiac Forecast> Online Show in collaboration with BK8.
Wu withdraw his shocking winning of SGD590,472 from Grand Dragon from BK8 within 4 minutes!
Wu, 32-year-old, the lucky winner, describes his recent winning is a dream come true, “I never got all 4D numbers right, this is my first and biggest win so far! It’s all thanks to Mak Ling Ling and BK8. In the Online Show, Mak Ling Ling Sifu mentioned that Rabbit Zodiac is very prosperous this year in terms of luck and wealth, and Silver colour is the lucky colour for people born with Rabbit Zodiac.”
“Maybe it is coincidence, I witnessed a minor accident that involved a Silver BMW right before watching <Mak Ling Ling 2023 Chinese Zodiac Forecast>. I could still remember clearly the car plate number was 4324.
“I took a picture of the accident, and I was like, well, I just might have a chance, so, I bought the number on Grand Dragon, a 4D service provided by BK8. As it was Monday, while Toto and Magnum draws take place every Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday, Grand Dragon draws take place everyday. I can’t risk my only winning chance on waiting.”
Wu revealed that he was worried about the safeness and legitimacy of BK8, but it was later busted by BK8’s strong and formidable background, “I googled online and found out that BK8 has not only actively collaborated with many iconic artist like TVB Best Actor Joel Chan, Wong Yat-Fei, Eric Chung, and Robin Van Persie, but also was granted legal licenses by more than 20 countries, such as the Government of Curacao and the United Kingdom Gambling Commission (UKGC). After the research, I decided to try BK8’s Grand Dragon.”
BK8’s Grand Dragon is an international 4D game that is very popular among Asian players. While it is similar to Toto and Magnum, but only that the money won from Grand Dragon will not be taxable by the government. Grand Dragon’s 4D draws take place everyday and player can place bet on multiple side easily, including Damacai, Singapore Pools and more. With that, players can win higher amount of the prize in Grand Dragon as compared to offline betting.
“I deposited SGD30 into BK8 and was rewarded SGD70 from <Prosperous 150% Welcome Angpau>. I used all my capital to buy 4324 in Grand Dragon. Who knows Mak Ling Ling was right, 4324 appears to be the Grand Prize of the night! I got my prize money in less than 5 minutes, what’s more surprising is that is that Grand Dragon’s payout is far higher than Toto and Magnum. Take for example, you can only win SGD250,000 for every SGD100 bet on Toto and Magnum, but you can win SGD590,472 with the same bet amount on Grand Dragon!”
The reason why BK8 is able offer double payout to its players is that BK8 generates profit based on the commission given by game providers, rather than players’ win losses like most of the platform on the market. The more the players, the higher the commission! To attract more players, BK8 tune up the payout of all its games, including Grand Dragon.
“Words cannot describe how thankful I am for BK8 and Mak Ling Ling. I wouldn’t get to know Grand Dragon if it weren’t them! Starting today, I have decided to continue playing on Grand Dragon, goodbye to conventional Toto and Magnum!”
