Peas
One of the many health benefits of peas is that they are high in fiber. Fiber is important for health for a number of reasons. It helps promote regularity, and may be especially good for those with digestive issues. Fiber also helps promote good bacteria in the gut. One of the most creative and delicious ways to work peas into your diet is by making spring pea guacamole.
Sweet potatoes
Sweet potatoes may be a particularly good option for those with diabetes or hypoglycemia. They are low on the glycemic index, which means that they can help regulate blood sugar. However, the method of cooking matters. One study found that baked sweet potatoes had almost double the glycemic index of raw sweet potato. So if you’re watching blood sugar, consider at least steaming instead of baking, which comes in much lower on the glycemic index.
