Lead Sponsor Northwell Health Tip:
"Sweet potatoes are a good source of mag­nesium, which is the relaxation and anti-stress mineral. Magnesium is necessary for healthy artery, blood, bone, heart, muscle, and nerve function, yet experts estimate that approximately 80 percent of the popula­tion in North America may be deficient in this important mineral". Maple View Farm and Gajeski Produce still have sweet potatoes available." Brought to you by Northern Westchester and Phelps, your local Northwell hospitals.
