Hello, lovely people. Okay, this is sweet potato
And I wanna pick up sweet potato
All of my stuff in the office today
I get a sweet potato and a little card, telling you what's so great about it.
And, yesterday, on my new TV series in the UK
which is called Jamie Jamie Super Food
we picked up the joys of sweet potato
Now, let me just talk about this incredible vegetable
I love it. It's delicious.
You can bake it. You can roast it. You can mash it. You can boil it. You can steam it.
You can do things as you would to a potato.
Here's one thing. I know all of you love potato.
I'm not saying don't use it.
All I am saying about potato, as much as we love it, is it doesn't count //as one of your five fruit and veg of the day. It's starch.
There is no class specific ...It's a starchy carb.
This, however, you can use it all the same ways. But it is one of your five ...
And really high on fiber. Really, really good for you.
It's delicious.
And it's super high, um, in four important micro nutrients. They are incredible.
Before we're going to that, this is considered by some expert to be one of the most healthy vegetables on the planet.
So swap in this out the potato is a really, really good idea.
Right, back to the micro nutrients.
Okay, so, I've got four of them that are really good.
Vitamin C. Now, vitamin C, you need it every single day. It's really important to the immune system
Keep yourself healthy, and
And, that's really important to fight disease
Um, then, there is manganese. Manganese is just really good for bones health.
Having strong bones is so incredibly important, especially in the second half of our life, in old age
And, they've got potassium. Potassium's really good for blood pressure? Really, really good for that.
And, then thiamine. Thiamine is really good for your heart and nervous system.
And keeping everything functioning beautifully
So, sweet potato is, it really is one of the very best vegetable to get into.
To not get into it is just madness
If you swap it out for our glorious potato. Maybe 50% of the time,
that would be incredible, to swap it out
And it is one of your five fruit and veg of the day
So, just hear it, for sweet potatoes and
I got this in the comments box on the video today.

Hello, lovely people!
We are going live!
...on Facebook
I haven't done this before, so...
this is exciting
Always a little bit scarry, looking at myself in the screen.
Anyway, got ...one viewer! Thank you for...27 viewers!
My God, this is new technology!
82 viewers!
This is much more fun
than making documentaries! Ha-ha!
Ok, lovely people I'm here to answer your questions on Sugar Rush
I think, most of us, now
that you don't eat cake four-five times a day
maybe once a day, or once in a while
So that's what we're focusing on drinks
because it's the largest source of sugar
in our kids and teenagers. That's why.
It's so...ummm....
aggressively marketed to our children
but don't go mad, guys.
It's about...
If you eat fresh food
if you eat veggies, whole veggies
whole veggies and whole fruit
this is a really good thing
Instead of having a whole pint of orange juice, just squeeze
an orange and top it up with water and ice.
Delicious.
If you look in the back of my new book
there is loads of really nice
hydration tips
We need to talk about...your hair. Yes!
We do.
But, to be honest, if we go at Google images
and look at my hair
at least ...at least I'm consistent
I'm gonna say good bye. Lots of love. You've been amazing
Please go to the link up there ...and you love my hair, thank you, Samantha. It's not perfect but... there you go....
And I'm glad my hair's been so important
5 seconds to go, you've been amazing, sign the petition, up there, love you guys. (Kiss.)
This is good fun. I can do this everyday. Why did I not know about this?
I'm never ever gonna be able to talk to my friends and family ever again
This is addictive
Loads of recipes for a healthier, happier you.
