“The effect of yam on the stomach is truly surprising!” Dr. Zhao Chen had just finished swimming and was chatting with Grandpa Lin outside the community swimming pool.
“The effect of yam on the stomach is truly surprising!” Dr. Zhao Chen had just finished swimming and was chatting with Grandpa Lin outside the community swimming pool.
Grandpa Lin is a well-known “health enthusiast” in the community, and every year he tries various health-preserving methods. This time, he chose yam. Grandpa Lin is 67 years old this year and was a postman before retirement. His life has always been quite regular, but stomach issues have always troubled him.
“Dr. Zhao, I have been insisting on eating yam daily for a year, and the effect has truly exceeded my expectations,” Grandpa Lin said as he walked.
Zhao Chen smiled, “Oh? Tell me, what changes have you noticed in your stomach since eating yam?”
Grandpa Lin’s eyes lit up, “This goes back to when I started eating yam last year.”
Grandpa Lin has had stomach problems for a long time. When he was young, he liked to eat strong-flavored foods, which often led to discomfort in his stomach. Although he has tried various medications and health supplements, none were as effective as he hoped.

Until last year, he heard that yam has a very good regulating effect on the stomach, so he decided to give it a try.
“Yam indeed has a lot of nutritional value,” Zhao Chen said, “The mucilage proteins it contains can help form a protective layer in the stomach, reducing the irritation of stomach acid on the stomach wall.”
Grandpa Lin nodded, “It’s precisely for this reason that I chose to persist. Yam can also regulate gastrointestinal function, promote digestion and absorption, and enhance the body’s immunity.”
“In fact, there is quite a bit of research on this topic,” Zhao Chen continued, “One study shows that the mucilage proteins in yam can help reduce gastric acid secretion and alleviate stomach discomfort. Long-term consumption of yam has obvious protective effects on the stomach.”
Grandpa Lin’s story may provide a reference for many people. He insists on eating yam with every meal, sometimes making yam porridge, sometimes cooking yam soup, and sometimes steaming yam directly.
