Eat potatoes

1 Potatoes are rich in important trace elements such as potassium and calcium – good for normalising blood pressure and healthy bones.

2 They’re a great source of fibre, which helps to keep you fuller for longer and bowel function regular.

3 Potatoes contain phosphorus which keeps bones healthy, which is so important in osteoporosis and arthritis.

4 They have some antioxidants such as lutein and zeaxanthin that may help lower the risk of cancer.

5 Potatoes contain vitamin K, which is essential in forming clots to prevent bleeding if you have a wound.
