First, avoid eating raw. Sweet potato is very popular in many places in the south. Sweet potato contains a lot of starch, which is difficult to digest raw. It is best to cook it. High temperature heating can also make soluble fiber easy to digest, shorten its sugar chain and increase the sweetness of sweet potato.

The second is to avoid eating alone. Sweet potatoes should be eaten with other cereals. If eaten alone, because of the low content of protein, it will lead to unbalanced nutrient intake. Therefore, it is actually more scientific to cut sweet potatoes into pieces and cook them with rice.

Common sense of dietotherapy and health care: remember that eating sweet potatoes at nine o'clock is the most nutritious.

2. Sweet potatoes are best eaten together.

Sweet potatoes can be eaten in a variety of ways, such as boiling, steaming, roasting, eating raw, and processing into powder to make steamed bread or noodles. "Outline of Medical Forest" says that eating raw sweet potatoes can "quench thirst, sober up, benefit the lungs and calm the heart", while cooked food can "replenish qi and satisfy hunger". But the most common thing is cooking. Sweet potato lacks protein and lipids, so it should be eaten with vegetables, fruits and protein foods to avoid nutritional imbalance.

Middle-aged and elderly people have weak spleen and stomach and may not be used to sweet potato cheese soup. It doesn't matter. Drink more sweet potato porridge, because it is easy to digest, protect the gastrointestinal tract, promote gastrointestinal movement, make defecation easier and get rid of constipation. When eating sweet potatoes, it is best to match a little pickles, which can effectively inhibit stomach acid.

3. It is best to have lunch.

Sweet potatoes are best eaten at the prime time of lunch. This is because after we eat sweet potatoes, the calcium contained in them needs to be absorbed in the human body for 4-5 hours, and the afternoon sunshine can just promote the absorption of calcium.

In this case, eating sweet potatoes for lunch can completely absorb calcium before dinner, and it will not affect the absorption of calcium in other foods at dinner.

4. Sweet potatoes should not be eaten too much at a time.

Don't eat too many sweet potatoes. Because sweet potato contains an oxidase, this enzyme is easy to produce a lot of carbon dioxide gas in human gastrointestinal tract. Eating too much sweet potato will make people bloat, burp and fart. Eating more sweet potatoes will also stimulate the production of gastric acid, making people feel heartbroken.

On the other hand, the stomach is stimulated by acid and its contraction is strengthened. At this point, the cardia muscles at the junction of the stomach and esophagus relax, and the acid in the stomach flows back to the feeding tube, and people spit acid water. Too much sugar can't be absorbed by the body for a while, and the rest will ferment in the intestines and make the stomach uncomfortable.
