Introduction: Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that Chinese yam is sweet, neutral, and non-toxic. It has the effects of tonifying the spleen and kidneys, nourishing the lungs, stopping diarrhea, and reducing sweating, making it an excellent "food-medicine" for supplementation.

Chinese yam also contains an important nutrient called dioscin. This component helps the body synthesize various hormones and promotes the metabolism of epidermal skin cells.

Chinese yam is rich in fiber and components such as choline and mucilage. This mucoprotein can prevent fat deposition in the cardiovascular system, maintain the elasticity of blood vessels, and prevent the premature onset of atherosclerosis. At the same time, it can also reduce subcutaneous fat accumulation, avoiding obesity. Moreover, when this type of mucopolysaccharide combines with inorganic salts, it can form bone tissue, giving cartilage a certain elasticity, which helps prevent fractures in the elderly.
