According to Physician Do Minh Tuan, Hanoi Oriental Medicine Association, eggs and sweet potatoes are two foods that are regularly present in the diet thanks to their low calorie content and rich nutrients.

Sweet potatoes also help prevent health decline and beautify. Sweet potatoes contain a lot of beta-carotene, vitamin C, vitamin B6 and folic acid - substances that can prevent cancer and cardiovascular disease.

Eggs are a rich source of nutrients, containing many vitamins such as A, B1, B6, B12, D, E, and important minerals such as calcium, zinc, magnesium and iron. This food is a high source of protein and provides amino acids necessary for the immune system. Egg whites have the ability to increase muscle strength and anti-aging. The lecithin in eggs can support the liver, help the digestive process and reduce the risk of artery blockage caused by cholesterol.

When we combine eggs with sweet potatoes, we not only get an effective diet recipe but also good for health and skin.

The most effective time to eat sweet potatoes and eggs to lose weight is breakfast or lunch. Sweet potatoes contain calcium and it takes 4-5 hours to be absorbed into the body.
