Legumes are high in fiber! You should eat them 2 or 3 times a week at least. Some people avoid beans due to the intestinal gas or bloating they may produce. But if you gradually increase the amount of beans you eat over several weeks, you can overcome that concern. Also asfaetedia is said to help.
potatoes are a highly nutritious vegetable, being rich in vitamin C, the B-complex vitamins, and have good doses of the minerals iron, calcium, manganese, magnesium and phosphorus.
Besides being an economical and nutritious food source, potatoes also have medicinal properties. A potato tuber is antispasmodic, mild anodyne, digestive remedy, diuretic, and emollient.
A potato is good for stomach ulcer, duodenum ulcer and stomach acidity. To use the potato for these ulcerous conditions, wash and grate several red skinned raw potatoes. (Other colors are also good, but the red is considered the best for this purpose.) Put in a cheesecloth and squeeze to remove the juice. Or slice the potatoes, sprinkle with a small amount of salt, let sit overnight and collect the juice the next morning. Drink 1/2 cup of this raw potato juice three times a day before meals for a great benefit. The juice is also considered a good liver remedy and can be helpful for gallstones and other gallbladder problems. Some believe that a small amount of potato juice applied to the temples during a headache can bring relief.
