The fiber stays inside the digestive tract to enhance gut health by promoting regular healthy bowel movements. Also, some fibers are fermented by friendly bacteria in the colon. These create a compound called short-chain fatty acids, which fuel the intestinal lining to keep it healthy (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/11427691\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Simultaneously, the antioxidants in sweet potatoes may benefit gut health.
