This Easy Hack Makes Sweet Potatoes Way More Blood-Sugar-Friendly

If you’re going to spend time cheffing up a side of veggies, you should probably try to maximize their benefits, no? Similar to how a smoothie may offer more perks than a juice thanks to the added fiber, some vegetables can boast health benefits when prepared one way or another—sweet potatoes included.

We recently sat down with functional medicine expert Amy Sapola, PharmD, director of Farmacy at The Chef’s Garden in Huron, Ohio, on the mindbodygreen podcast to chat about how to make these tasty veggies even healthier. Here, find her blood-sugar-friendly trick.

If you’re trying to make the most out of your sweet potatoes and mitigate a potential spike in blood sugar, Sapola suggests boiling this veggie rather than roasting it. “The preparation technique for a sweet potato can drastically affect the glycemic impact of that sweet potato,” Sapola explains.

To be specific, Sapola says that roasting sweet potatoes can take their glycemic index score from a 60 to a 90—pretty drastic for such a simple change. Now, experts will usually advise against boiling your vegetables, since you lose many of their valuable nutrients in the cooking water. “However, sweet potatoes are a very rare exception,” says Sapola, especially when it comes to your blood sugar response. Just be sure to let your potatoes sit in the pot for more than just a few minutes, Sapola says. “Boiling sweet potatoes whole for 20 minutes covered is actually the best way to keep the glycemic impact low,” she explains.

After your potato has boiled and cooled, it’s time to get creative with preparation. You may opt for a healthier spin on a classic mashed potato side. Or if you’re ready to dive into fall, a sweet potato soup can serve as the perfect comfort food. Either way, you’ll be soaking up all of the nutrients of the sweet potato while potentially minimizing the following blood sugar spike. And if you’d rather bake your sweet potatoes? That’s fine, too: The nutritious veggie boasts plenty of health benefits, even if it does cause a bit of a glucose spike.

爱拼才会赢！义顺一名黄姓男子的传奇百家乐玩法在脸书炸开了锅，引来三千赞数和过千的网友分享！黄先生在连输4局的情况下不但没有暂停下注，反而淡定地加码，其他玩家都吓疯了！这一波骚操作不仅让他赢回SGD750的本金，还成为他连胜12局的转折点，一举赢走高达SGD107,000以及《SGD1,888百家乐连赢奖金》，上演反转人生的情节！

黄先生提供在BK8的提款证明，短短4分钟便提取了SGD107,000！

黄先生的传奇事迹令许多玩家感到震惊，网民都认为黄先生只是单纯靠运气翻身。而面对广大网友质疑，黄先生说其实他能绝地翻盘的契机，除了靠BK8的《150%兔年开运红包》让他加大本金，自己也从资深百家乐玩家们口中套出百家乐的必胜方法——马丁格尔策略，也称“不倒翁打法”。

“我从老玩家口中得知原来他们都会套用这种马丁格尔策略玩法在百家乐游戏中。这个方法比祖先托梦还灵，只要本钱够，就一定可以转亏为盈！”

黄先生接着透露，马丁格尔策略即是玩家每输一场赌局，便在下一个赌局投注原本赌注的两倍。玩家若成功赢下一局，即可将赌注重置到一开始的金额。按照这个方法，无论玩家输了多少局，只需赢一局就能完全回本翻盘。

“我在第一局输了SGD50，就在第二局投注SGD100。如果第二局也输了，第三局我就投注SGD200。直到第5局，我赢下一局拿回所有的本钱。之后的12局内我仿佛财神爷上身，不断连胜。总共下来我不止赢了SGD107,000，还获得连赢8局的《SGD1,888百家乐连赢奖金》。”

虽然黄先生所解释的马丁格尔策略颇有道理，但是有很多网民又出现了另一个疑问，那就是并不是所有网民像黄先生一样，有足够的资本来执行马丁格尔策略。对此，黄先生透露其实SGD750的本钱中只有SGD250是自己的，其余的SGD500都是从BK8的《150%兔年开运红包》领取的。

“我当时得知BK8与香港风水大师麦玲玲合作推出《150%兔年开运红包》，便决定趁这个机会到BK8玩。靠着这个优惠，我只是储值了SGD250就可以领取SGD500的红包。这个红包真的很有诚意，很适合想用小本金入门试试手气的新玩家。我身边的朋友知道我赢奖后也加入到BK8，他们全部都领取了该奖金，有一名还单靠SGD100就赢走SGD62,390，再度证明策略是有用的，只要沉得住气和有耐心，不怕翻不到身！”

黄先生也表示，他在上网做功课之后，发现BK8是亚洲唯一一家同时获得超过20个国际博彩组织，如库拉索政府、英国博彩委员会等所颁发合法营运执照的线上娱乐平台，并且有众多球星艺人，如风水大师麦玲玲、香港视帝陈山聪、黄一飞、罗宾·范佩西、约翰·特里等为他们站台，让他更有信心在这里享受娱乐时光。
