Potatoes are rich in several micronutrients, especially vitamin C, which helps prevent colds, according to specialists from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO).
Potatoes are also a moderate source of iron, vitamins B1, B3, and B6, and minerals such as potassium, phosphorus, and magnesium, which help the body counteract the harmful effects of sodium on blood pressure and promote fluid elimination, acting as diuretics, adds the FAO.
Potato juice is also effective in treating migraines and constipation, and helps prevent hemorrhoids.
In addition to the benefits of potatoes, drinking their juice can help reduce blood pressure, because this tuber contains a large amount of potassium.
In addition, potato juice is used to treat skin irritations, because the potato has great soothing, anti-irritant, and anti-inflammatory properties.
For this reason, it is used in the treatment of rashes, burns, and irritations, adds the Papa Chile Consortium.
To prepare potato juice, you must thoroughly wash and disinfect two potatoes. Then, place them in a juicer.
This is how you’ll get potato juice. It’s best to drink it neat, but if the consistency is too thick, you can add half a glass of water to the mixture.
