Common Questions and Answers about Nutritional value yams

nutrition

Avatar f tn I was wondering at what to put the nutritional value of food over the amount of calories they contain. For example, I regulate my calories fairly closely and usually am always well under the daily recommended amount, but there are some days that I feel like I am hungry all day. As a general rule, I enjoy eating raw mixed nuts as a snack, but they tend to be high in calories.
Avatar n tn Juice covers a lot -- virtually anything can be juiced if you're doing this yourself. Fruit juices contain a lot of sugar, but can also be powerful antioxidants, but vegetable juices can be very valuable. Wheatgrass juice is great. So this depends on what you mean by nutritional juices. Most important, avoid anything that's not organic. When you juice anything, you use a lot of it, and that enhances the amount of harmful chemicals that exist on whatever you're juicing.
8793709 tn?1409594060 I do the same as you, except that when hubby gets home I turn the stove back on to reheat it instead of microwave. I believe that even if it loses a little bit of the nutritional value, it's still healthier and cheaper than ordering or eating out.
325405 tn?1262290178 I think if you freeze it, you would take away from the nutritional value. You could get the same nutritional value from eating bean sprouts on a salad. Would be easier for you.
1417802 tn?1282173063 Sorry to hear about your treatment not being effective.are you going to be treating again with the new DAA"s that are going to be coming out soon? There are many elixir"s and supplements people are taking for nutritional value and some it seems have value in regards to keeping liver counts (enzyme )readings lower. If the Hepa feels their is no harm ,and markers don"t rise..then yes nothing to lose Keep us informed and good luck.. Will.
Avatar m tn s also interesting that whole civilizations, such as the one you mentioned, lived on foods that contain very little nutritional value. Polynesians eating taro, Africans who ate yams, these are just starches with very little in the way of diverse nutrition (unlike sweet potatoes, which are not yams and are very nutritious).
349463 tn?1333571576 The highest concentration of women to have twins was in this tiny village where they eat yams every day. So these doctors all did a study about yams having an effect on the fertility in women. Anyone else hear about this? Seems pretty silly. Doesn't mean I'm not trying it, just saying it seems silly. I think at this point if you told me wearing my underware on my head would get me pregnant I would give it a shot at least once!
Avatar f tn Someone on this website suggested I eat yams to get pregnant and she was pregnant with twins. I did eat yams fater my IVF an dnow I am pregnant with triplets.
405855 tn?1217100767 t believe there is so much discrepancy about yams. Goodness, there must be several varieties of yams. Like tomatoes. You can by an heirloom, a hot house, a cherry, a grape tomato but they are all tomatoes. I've grown yams, lived on a farm most of my life and eatin' yams most of my life. The ones that are orange inside are called yams here in the Northwest. I have read the same thing about yams, but didn't read the benefit is exclusive to African yams.
790669 tn?1465189099 I thought it was funny to. Now I wished I LOVED yams. lol. Congrats Angela, I hope you have a healthy and happy 9 months! :D SunWhorshiper, it hads to do with progesterone? Hmm! I should be eating sweet potatoes then because my progesterone was low last time they checked it and put me on those nasty vaginal capsuls. Yuck! I'd much rather choke down a sweet potatoe. lol. Also, my mother loves the yams like you like the sweet potatoes, with marshmellow on them.
Avatar m tn I am curious if I am still getting the same nutritional value from the uncooked oats as if I were cooking them?
Avatar f tn Generally, you should try to eat things that have varied nutritional value and things considered 'healthy' but some cheesecake here and there doesn't hurt.
1544053 tn?1328691992 My dog likes apples. I give her about a 1/4 apple, cut into tiny pieces as treats. At apple time, she often picks her own from the low branches of the trees in the orchard! So I make sure she doesn't get any apple seeds too because they are toxic. Grapes are definitely toxic for dogs. NO grapes! Raisins are the same, ditto sultanas, currants, etc. I've heard of dogs who like bananas, but mine doesn't. Corn....
Avatar f tn You can eat them but you have to eat some thing else with them because they have NO nutritional value for you or baby.
Avatar m tn I hate to be like this but most of the items (if not all) the items listed consist of total unhealthy junk food with zero nutritional value. It is clear the person put a lot of time and research into the list but I am just saying.
Avatar n tn Beer has some nutritional value also.
7489014 tn?1429908568 Spicy is good but Cheetos are kind of like processed junk food. :>) I would try to limit that and go for more healthy options or something with more nutritional value for you and baby. Doesn't mean you can't have some spicy hot Cheetos from time to time though.
Avatar n tn I heard that yams are good for your ovaries. Something about how they make you ovulate more. This is the tribe in africa and the women eat yams every day. They have the higest concentration of twins in this village out of anywhere else in the world. The dr's contribute the twin factor to the yams. Good luck!
Avatar m tn It appears that yams have a lower Glycemic Load than sweet potatoes, and sweet potatoes have much lower Glycemic Load than white potatoes. That’s good news, I prefer yams and sweet potatoes to white potatoes. Also, supposedly the way in which a potato is cooked affects the Glycemic Load. A baked potato has almost twice the Glycemic Load of a boiled potato. Regarding pasta, it looks like this is a case where the “browns” are better than the “whites”.
Avatar f tn Thanks. .
Avatar f tn My doctor told me that you don't really have to worry about nutritional value at this point. I had a sweet tooth until 9 weeks.
Avatar f tn Try to stay away from junk food with low nutritional value BC you need the nutrition.
Avatar f tn Canned tuna has less mercury than other fish like swordfish. Nonetheless, that's not nutritional. But I could be wrong. I'm just going based on what my doc said.
