An old Chinese medicine doctor says this vegetable, number one in cancer prevention, is looked down upon by 90% of people
Sweet potato leaves are hailed in China and around the world as the "queen of vegetables", the "longevity vegetable" and the "anti-cancer vegetable", and are a truly green vegetable product. Sweet potato leaves, also called sweet potato vine leaves, are the stems and leaves of the sweet potato, a food we see very commonly. In the past, sweet potato leaves were rarely noticed or eaten, and in rural areas sweet potato leaves were sometimes even used as pig feed.
Sweet potato leaves have health benefits such as boosting immunity, stopping bleeding, lowering blood sugar, detoxifying, preventing and treating night blindness, promoting metabolism, relieving constipation and promoting urination, raising platelet counts, preventing arteriosclerosis, blocking cell canceration, and promoting lactation and detoxification. Sweet potato leaves can make the skin smoother; eaten regularly they help prevent constipation and protect eyesight, and can also keep the skin delicate and delay aging.
