Yam
One of the most veried root vegetables, with over 200 types, is the yam, with colors ranging from yellow to purple. All the types of yams share high levels of vitamin B6 and potassium. There are evidence to suggest that the essence of the yam contains a chemical that serves as a substitute to the female hormone and eases the symptoms of menopause.
Although it was never proven scientifically, the Chinese have been using yams to keep up their health for hundreds of years.
