Sweet potatoes are an excellent source of beta carotene, which your body can convert into vitamin A. 

Consuming a large sweet potato can fulfill over 100% of the recommended daily allowance of vitamin A. 

 Vitamin A is essential for maintaining healthy vision and skin. 

For world’s longest lived people in the Okinawa #bluezone, about 70% at all of their calories came from sweet potatoes.

 Incorporating sweet potatoes into your diet can support eye health and contribute to overall longevity.
