Healthy Quick Tip
Fear around potatoes! There has been a lot of talk out there about avoiding potatoes and I couldn't disagree more. This sustaining food has been a staple in our diets or centuries. They are high in assailable protein, potassium and L-lysine which helps reduce inflammation (contrary to what is being said about them!). Potatoes can also be soothing for those with issues such as indigestion or sensitive stomachs being that they are gentle on the nerves that line the intestines. Therefore, they help the stomach rather than hurt it like feeding pathogens or candida.
