WHO DOESN'T LOVE A FLAT BELLY? TIP #3

SWEET POTATOES

Sweet potatoes are packed full of vitamin C. When the stress hormone Cortisol is chronically elevated in the body, you can experience increased fat storage in the abdominal area.

However, research has shown that vitamin C helps reduce stress levels and return the stress hormone Cortisol to normal levels after a stressful situation. This reduction in Cortisol may help to prevent increased belly fat storage. So, mash them, bake them, or even make baked sweet potato fries to gain the benefits!
