@sarajaneho: In Traditional Chinese Medicine, potatoes are a Yin-nourishing food that helps replenish body fluids, support the Stomach and Spleen, and gently restore energy. Yin refers to the cooling, hydrating, and restorative fluids that keep your skin, hormones, joints, and nervous system healthy. As we age—and especially during menopause—our Yin naturally declines, which can show up as hot flashes, dry skin, poor sleep, and low energy. This is also why many Chinese women traditionally eat sweet potatoes and shan yao (Chinese yam) during menopause. Both are prized in TCM for nourishing Yin, strengthening the Spleen and Kidneys, and helping replenish the body’s energy and fluids during this stage of life. And no, potatoes don’t make you fat. The problem is usually how they’re prepared. Deep-fried or covered in processed toppings is very different from a simple boiled, baked, steamed, or roasted potato. If you’re trying to age well, don’t be so quick to cut potatoes out of your diet. Everything in moderation. I sit down with Yiwen Hao—China’s “Potato Princess”—to explore how her family built one of the world’s largest potato companies and how she turned discarded potato peels into a skincare brand.
