Sweet potato has low caloric content and satiety. It is a good diet for both staple food and non-staple food. Every 100 grams of sweet potato contains only 0.2 grams of fat, which is 1 / 4 of rice.

Note: the same mung bean, different cooking methods, not only taste and even efficacy will produce differences, this truth is well known. In fact, it's not only mung beans, but also food and medicinal materials. For example, the processing methods of Radix Codonopsis and Flos Lonicerae are different, and their effects are different; for example, fruits such as pears, when eaten raw or cooked, have different effects, and so on. Therefore, as far as diet health is concerned, what to eat and how to eat should be based on the actual situation. Only in this way can we achieve the goal of food therapy and medication, which is beneficial to our health. This is also in line with the essence of China's long-standing traditional culture, which is to judge the beauty of heaven and earth, analyze the reason of all things, and then adapt to the situation and choose the opportunity. [warm tips of Jingchu]: if you don't have fresh lotus leaves, if you use dry lotus leaves, you should use small gauze bags to avoid too much debris, which will affect the taste; if lotus leaves are thin and weak in Qi and blood, you should take them with caution. Mung bean cold, spleen and stomach weakness should not eat more. Chronic gastroenteritis, chronic hepatitis, hypothyroidism, avoid mung bean. Mung beans should not be cooked too rotten, so as not to damage organic acids and vitamins, reduce the effect of heat clearing and detoxification. When taking medicine, especially warm tonic, don't eat mung bean food, so as not to reduce the efficacy. The smell of uncooked mung bean is strong, and it is easy to nausea and vomiting after eating.
