Having got that out of the way, let’s look seven of the numerous health benefits of eating amala dudu.

It’s rich in fibre

Amala dudu is high in dietary fibre which helps reduce low-density lipoproteins — one of the carriers of cholesterol. This will help reduce any heart-related conditions that high cholesterol in the body might cause.

Safe for diabetics

It is highly recommended for people with diabetes. It contains a low Glycemic Index that will help avoid a rapid increase in glucose level. Due to the ability to digest and absorb carbohydrates in amala dudu slowly, it doesn’t cause any sudden increase in blood sugar/ insulin levels.

All the energy you need

Amala dudu is high in carbohydrates, which provides the body with energy and helps regulate blood glucose. These carbohydrates also help to break down fatty acids and prevent ketosis. However, this should be taken in moderation by diabetic patients.

Supports a healthy digestive system

Amala dudu is known to have high fibre and water content, containing anti-inflammatory properties that aid in digestion, thereby preventing constipation. Fibre is perfect for healthy bowel movement and secretion of gastric and digestive juices. However, yam flour is significantly required for a good digestive process.

Rich in vitamins B and C

It improves your immunity and fights against infections easily. Vitamin C enhances the absorption of iron in the intestine, fight against infections, neutralises blood toxins, and intervenes in the healing of wounds. Thiamine is needed for proper digestion.

Good for menopausal women

Women who are in their menopause stage lack Vitamin B6 and go through hormonal imbalance. Amala dudu contains enzymes that help modify and balance some hormones that no longer function in menopausal women’s bodies. 

Reduces cancer risk

Amala dudu contains dietary fibre, which reduces colon cancer risk by preventing hazardous compounds in the food from affecting the colon mucosa. It is highly rich in antioxidants that help to fight free radicals in the body. It reduces the risk of cancer and inflammation and prevents cell damage.
