Potatoes have significant health benefits, including protecting against cardiovascular disease and cancer. Potatoes are low calorie and high in fiber. Potatoes are known for their high concentration of Vitamin B6, one of the most important vitamins for our health. Vitamin B6 is active and important in many biological reactions within the human body and is required for the formation of new cells in our bodies. B6 allows amino acids (the building blocks of protein) to synthesize, ensuring our bodies have correct levels of important nutrients necessary to function. Vitamin B6 also ensures our nervous system stays sharp, keeping our serotonin, melatonin, epinephrine, and norepinephrine leveled appropriately. Vitamin B6 is also essential for cardiovascular health and protection. Eating foods rich in Vitamin B6, such as potatoes ensures our bodies have the nutrients and balance we require to live healthy and productive lives.
