Potatoes are an underrated food 

They are an important source of carbohydrates, especially for athletes, and particularly for young athletes during competition times. Let me explain why 

100 grams of boiled potatoes contain approximately 75 calories, along with 1.5 grams of fiber and 18 grams of carbohydrates.

Potatoes contribute several health benefits, including:

They provide a good amount of potassium, which is essential for muscle and nerve health and helps expel excess water from the body (important during competitions) .

They help prevent some health issues due to their antioxidant content.

They assist in regulating blood sugar levels, as potatoes have a low glycemic index.

They enhance immune system health due to their easily digestible fiber.
