Sweet potatoes

Sweet potatoes are a healthier option than regular potatoes since they include disease-fighting beta-carotene, iron, fiber, and vitamin C. They may be mashed, baked, or made into pâté.

Vitamin A, potassium, riboflavin, copper, pantothenic acid, and folic acid are all found in sweet potatoes. All of these things help in energy replenishment and muscular growth. Sweet potatoes include copper, which can help maintain healthy muscle tissue and replenish energy levels, so eating them after a workout is perfect. Vitamin C is also found in sweet potatoes, which aids to prevent muscle catabolism (the breakdown of muscle tissue). Before a long race, such as a half-marathon, sweet potatoes are a wonderful supplement to a carb diet. They're also abundant in potassium, an electrolyte that can aid prevent muscle cramping during exercise.
