Last One--Y&Z Superfoods Y is for Yams: First, let’s get one thing straight: Yams and sweet potatoes are not the same thing (though, sweet potatoes are also a superfood). These tubers are low on the glycemic index, meaning that they can be consumed without negatively affecting blood sugar levels, making them a great food to eat for sustained energy. Also, yams are a great source of fiber, vitamin B6, potassium, and manganese, which are key for proper production of serotonin, nervous system function, and wound healing. Z is for Zucchini: Come July and August, zucchini’s a staple on most grocery store shelves. The best part? It can be used perfectly in both sweet and savory dishes. This green-skinned veggie is packed with vitamins C and B6, potassium, manganese, and folate. Plus, it’s low in calories (just 20 per cup) and has a high water content, so it’s great for hydrating in the summer heat, too. Thank you, Greatist
