Why You Shouldn't Be Afraid of Potatoes

Potato lover over here!

This photo was taken Christmas Eve when I was peeling potatoes to steam for the Shepherds Pie we made. (check my Instagram Post for the recipe!)

The healing properties of potatoes are magical and so effective. Potatoes eaten steamed or baked without oil or cheese or other dairy-type toppings are loved by our bodies! This is because of how much lysine is in them!

Lysine is our friend and we want to incorporate it into our lives to optimize liver detox and overall healing.

@medicalmedium has shared that “Potatoes are high in potassium and rich in vitamin B6, as well as a fantastic source of amino acids, especially lysine in its bioactive form. Lysine is a powerful weapon against viruses such as Epstein-Barr and shingles that are behind rheumatoid arthritis, joint pain, autoimmune disease, and more.”

Also,

“Potatoes are antiviral, anti-fungal, and antibacterial, with nutritional cofactors and coenzymes plus bioactive compounds to help keep you healthy and assist you with stress.

Potatoes can help heal digestive conditions. Soothing to the intestinal linings because they are gentle on the nerves inside the lining—they’re nonabrasive—potatoes assimilate and digest easily, even with some of the worst digestive issues.”

Bring on the spuds!
