I believe less is more and whole foods should be the focus for staying in balance.
But it's easy to get out of balance.
This yacon plant is cultivated as a food. The mecinal and nutritional benefits are a "side effect" .
Think of it as another healthy food choice...not a supplement.
As a comparison: I drink a glass of warm milk in the evening to promote a sound sleep... but the side effect is that it promotes strong bones, prevents osteoporosis.
Yacon leaves, when steeped with water and served as a tea, seem most suitable for people with high blood sugar....the side effects of drinking the tea, would be anti oxidant (anti-aging) benefits.
My hunch is the leaves would be great for people who are diagnosed as being prediabetic.
To experiment , Drink 1 cup a day for a week and observe sugar cravings. If it's working, one will notice less desire for sweets and naturally restore balance (I have no idea how long it would take... depends on one's starting point of balance and present diet...and th diet likely needs some tweaking if the present state of balance is high blood sugar).
Or simply steep some leaves with your chai or coffee (they are naturally sweet) as a preventative when you feel like it.
I eat way too many sweets, so I'm always looking for help with balancing that out.... 😂
Eating the yacon root (in a salad or added to a Stew), would provide the other benefits - colon cleansing, digestive health.
It has a nice woody apple flavor so if you find the root at a local market, check it out.
