It is widely used in postpartum women, the elderly, and people in the recovery period. It is a mild nourishing food and an important medicinal herb praised by medical practitioners throughout history. Recent studies have shown that the most nutritious component of yam is its mucus, which is mainly composed of mannan and mucin (a type of glycoprotein).

Mucin can lower blood cholesterol, prevent lipid deposition in the cardiovascular system, and help prevent arteriosclerosis. Yam has an auxiliary effect on diabetes. In addition to feeling full and controlling food intake, mannan can also improve glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity.

Among them, mannan is a water-soluble hemicellulose that can absorb water and expand 80-100 times. After eating, its volume in the stomach increases, making it easy to feel full; Yam itself is a high nutrient, low calorie food that can be safely consumed without worrying about gaining weight. As a high nutrient food, yam contains a large amount of starch and protein, B vitamins, vitamin C, vitamin E, glucose, crude protein amino acids, bile alkaloids, and allantoin.
