October 8th is the Cold Dew solar term in the Chinese lunar calendar. Doctors advise the general public to eat more "root" vegetables such as yam and lotus root to maintain health during this solar term.

Chinese yam is both a traditional Chinese medicine and a delicacy, and is a well-known nourishing delicacy. Studies have shown that the content of B vitamins in Chinese yam is several times that of rice, and the potassium content in minerals is extremely rich. In addition, Chinese yam has an auxiliary therapeutic effect on diabetes. In addition to being easy to produce a sense of fullness and helping to control food intake, mannan also has the function of improving sugar metabolism and increasing insulin sensitivity.

Since yam has a high starch content, it is best to replace part of the staple food with yam when eating it, that is, to appropriately reduce the amount of staple food, especially for diabetics, so as to avoid the problem of excess energy. Lotus root contains mucin and dietary fiber, which can combine with bile salts, cholesterol and triglycerides in food in the human body, and excrete them from the feces, thereby reducing the absorption of lipids.
