Yam contains saponins, mucopolysaccharides, choline, starch, sugars, proteins, amino acids, vitamin C, and various trace elements. It has abundant nutrients and nourishing effects, making it an ideal food for post-illness recovery.
Yam can promote the proliferation of T lymphocytes, enhance immune function, delay cell aging, and regular consumption of yam can promote longevity. The mucopolysaccharides in yam can combine with minerals to form bone, giving cartilage elasticity.
