Should you eat sweet potato in your ovulatory phase?

Sweet potato is still a nutritious choice in your ovulatory phase. It shines most in the luteal phase (because slow carbs and B6 support serotonin and satisfy luteal carb cravings), but estrogen and testosterone peak around ovulation. Confidence, libido, and verbal energy are highest, and skin often looks its best.

Verdict

A warming, blood-sugar-friendly carb that beats refined snacks premenstrually.
