Phelps Health Tip:

Lead Sponsor Phelps Hospital Northwell Health shares the following: "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". Gajeski Produce still has sweet potatoes available each Saturday.
