As the weather cools down, there's nothing quite like a delicious bowl of soup. Today I have a sweet potato recipe that I thought I would share as I think it’s pretty delicious, nutritious & easy to make.
But first, a fun fact about sweet potatoes and the "doctrine of signatures." Did you know that sweet potato, with their resemblance to the pancreas, are believed to offer benefits for this organ? The pancreas plays a vital role in the bodies digestive system. It not only produces insulin to reduce blood sugar, it secretes bicarbonate soda into the small intestine to help neutralise the acids from the stomach.
Some symptoms that your pancreas might need some extra love are; blood sugar problems, fatigue, indigestion, allergies and incomplete digestion in small intestine from poor absorption from too much acid in the intestines. And mentally & emotionally one may have a sugar addiction and the inability to savour the “sweetness” of life.
So the remedy? Eat sweet potato’s, have fun and laugh more, finding sweetness and beauty in all situations ⭐️ 😍
