Elephant Yam is
considered to be a healthy low-fat food so it can be consumes without any fear
of weight gain.It is a rich source of essential fatty acids(Omega-3 fatty
acids) which is known to increase the good cholesterol levels in the blood.Eating
elephant yam helps in increasing the estrogen levels in women’s bodies to
maintain the harmonal balance.Good to people with diabetes as it has a very low
glycemic index and natural cure for contipation and irregular bowel movements.
