I eat kale 3 to 4 times a week. Sweet potatoes at least twice. Between the two, which are fiber rich, anti-inflammatory, and loaded with nutrients like Vitamins C and A, I feel confident that I'm supporting hormonal, immune, and digestive health. And they're delicious with no shortage of ways they can be prepared. This is one of my all-time favorites, and it's easy, too.
