Will eating yam make you fart more?

Yam, also known as sweet potato, is one of the favorite ingredients in most parts of my country. It is sweet and delicious, and is deeply loved by everyone. Many children like to roast yam in summer, but some people think that eating too much yam will cause farting. Is there such a saying? What are the functions of yam?

Yam is sweet and warm in nature. It can lubricate the intestines, promote bowel movements, strengthen the stomach and replenish qi. It contains more cellulose, which can absorb water in the intestines to increase the volume of feces and cause a laxative effect. Brown rice is rich in protein, starch, vitamins B1, A, E, cellulose, calcium, iron, phosphorus and other minerals. The rich fiber helps with bowel movements.

Yam is a vegetable rich in various nutrients! Its benefits to human health are as follows:

1. Yam is an alkaline food that can neutralize excess acid accumulated in the human body.

2. Yam is rich in dietary fiber, which helps to lubricate the intestines and promote bowel movements.

3. The collagen and mucus polysaccharides in yam can prevent arteriosclerosis, maintain blood vessel elasticity, and eliminate excess cholesterol.

4. The vitamin C content in yam is high and not easily lost. Just eating about 200 grams of yam can provide the daily requirement.

5. Yam is rich in mucus protein, which can prevent arteriosclerosis, lower blood pressure, resist aging and enhance immunity.

In addition, the young shoots and tender leaves of yam can also be eaten as vegetables. They are rich in nutrients such as vitamin C, vitamin E, beta-carotene, cellulose, potassium and iron. Eating them can prevent cancer, and applying them externally can reduce sores and swelling!

However, many people are afraid that they will fart after eating too much yam. In fact, people with good digestive ability are less likely to pass gas after eating yam, or they can adjust the intestinal state after eating it several times and no longer have the problem of excessive gas.
