The Tasty Complex Carb Rx For Sore Throats!
Are you a fan of fries? Not regular white potato fries, but sweet potato fries?
Well, if you are and have a scratchy throat, you have permission to indulge.
Why?
Enjoying 3/4 cup of sweet potatoes could soothe a scratchy throat in 2 minutes.
And eating some daily could cut your recovery time from viral infections in
half. Sweet potatoes are loaded with beta-carotene, a pigment (orange color pigment)
that reduces throat inflammation, calms pain nerves and speeds healing of
infected tissues.
Another tip:
If you like your sweet potatoes in a mashed sweet potato dish or fries, just
make sure to add some olive or avocado oil or grass-fed butter to them, why?
Adding a sprinkle of olive oil or a dollop of butter to them triples the absorption
of beta-carotene. (good fats help you absorb more of the nutrients).
And one more helpful hint- If you received an air-fryer as a Christmas gift or
have one that’s a year old, you may want to use it to make the following
(scratchy throat) natural medicine.
