It's okay. Misleading. As early as 1997, China Nutrition Society called on residents to "eat more vegetables, fruits and potatoes". Nowadays, vegetables and fruits have attracted people's attention, but potatoes are often forgotten. In particular, many people have always mistakenly thought that potato starch content is too high, which is a food that is easy to cause obesity, so they are discouraged from potatoes. In fact, from the perspective of staple food, the starch content of potatoes is not high, and it can also help people lose weight. This is because potatoes have high water content, starch content is only about 20%, and they are also rich in soft dietary fiber that can produce satiety. Therefore, if potatoes are used instead of white rice and steamed bread, even if you let go of your stomach, it is difficult to make people obese. What needs to be known now is that, as a part of staple food, the content of potassium and magnesium in potatoes is higher than that in polished white rice and polished white flour, which is an alkaline food and is conducive to maintaining the acid-base balance in the human body. Secondly, the protein of potatoes is of high quality and rich in lysine, which enables people to obtain various amino acids needed by the body. Third, potatoes contain vitamin C, which is a good thing that polished rice and white flour do not have. Fourth, potatoes contain dietary fiber, which is soft and will not stimulate the stomach. People with gastric ulcer or enteritis can also rest assured to eat potatoes. It should be noted that because potatoes are easy to absorb fat, if you add fat when cooking potatoes, you should cut off other foods rich in fat to ensure that the total amount of fat in a day will not exceed the standard.
