 5 Reasons You Should Eat The African Yam


Great Ujamaa:

Welcome to all the tribe on this 4th cycle of 2022 in the week of Kujichagulia and the day of Ujamaa. We are changing up the format for a little while here on the journey. Continue tuning in and I promise you will begin learning some incredible stuff. I am going back into the crates and pulling out some of my older shows to share with the FAM. As you will see we will be hitting on many of the foundational ideas of Gye-Nyame Journey. So sit back and enjoy the ride, and get the lessons. While I work on the new ecourse in the background. If you want to get an idea of what I am working on just click #NguzoSabaChallenge. Now here is the quick article and don’t be afraid to try the yam you might be surprised! In fact it is so appropriate that we talk about the African Yam on Nia, because it is a staple of African people all over the continent, and it is something that we should be trying to emulate over here. It has to be something simple, something needed, and can be easily produce by and only by our people (even if others produce it, we must not purchase it from anyone but ourselves).

The yam is a food that is highly underrated. With all the health benefits of yams, you should strongly consider eating them. They are easy to prepare and taste great. Here are 5 reasons you should eat the African Yam

1) The yam is a good source of vitamin B6 and vitamin C. These nutrients improve cardiovascular health, lower the risk of colon cancer, build strong bones and teeth, increase metabolism and aid in weight loss. The antioxidant properties in yams strengthen the immune system as well as protect against cell damage.

2) The yam contains antioxidants like beta-carotene, which helps fight free radicals in your body. Free radicals are unstable molecules that chain together and cause diseases, such as cancer. Beta-carotene is important for eyesight, healthy skin and bone development.

3) Yams contain high amounts of fiber, which helps with digestion and weight loss by helping you feel fuller longer. Fiber also helps lower cholesterol levels, preventing heart disease.

4) Yams contain potassium which helps lower blood pressure and reduces your risk for heart disease and stroke by lowering the amount of sodium in your bloodstream.

5) Yams help reduce inflammation in your body, which can help prevent chronic diseases such as diabetes, arthritis and cancer!

I have been yelling at you for years over here on GNJMedia to add culturally appropriate elements to your diet, and what is more cultural for us than yams. Not just any yam but the african yam. Plug in and get the benefits and we will see you tomorrow.
