Health Tips update for March 2:

are bad for your waistline. But don’t cut potatoes out of your diet
just yet. While processed potatoes (chips, French fries and
hashbrowns) contain too many calories and too much fat, baked or
boiled potatoes are good for you. A small baked potato (with the
skin) has only 128 calories, and is a great source of potassium and
vitamin C. It’s also high in fiber, which can make you feel full
longer.

butter) and just plain not-good-for-you (potato chips). But new
research shows that eating potatoes can be good for you and have a
positive effect on blood pressure.
In the study, subjects who were either overweight or obese and had
