The presence of the phytohormone diosgenin in its nutritional composition favours the production of s3xual hormones in the female organism.

However, as the food has a series of other nutritional benefits, to facilitate a conception, it is important to include it in the diet before and after this period.
Besides having the phytohormone, yams are rich in B vitamins, which are important for the balance of female hormones and for the fixation of the embryo in the uterus when conception takes place.
Being a versatile tuber, yams can be eaten pureed, cooked, stewed, in salads, juices, vitamins, teas and even desserts. But be careful: it should NOT be eaten IN EXCESS (too much)! As it is a carbohydrate, it can cause weight gain and resistance to the insulin hormone, both of which are related to infertility.
And not only women can benefit from the consumption of yams, but men can also have their testosterone production increased with this food.
It is essential for the formation of male reproductive tissues, besides contributing to the control of blood pressure, improving the blood flow in the body – including in the reproductive region – which guarantees a better s3xual performance and sperm production.
