Are you trying to improve your health and strengthen your immune system through natural means?

Yucca has clusters of pale whitish blossoms and sword-like leaves. Some species are cultivated for ornamental purposes. Yucca, however, is more widely known for its health benefits. Some of its parts, particularly the bark and root, have long been used in both traditional and alternative medicine because of the host of medicinal plant compounds and nutrients that they contain.

Yucca provides the following health benefits:

1. It has anti-inflammatory properties
Yucca is rich in phenols like yuccaol and resveratrol, compounds recognized for their anti-inflammatory properties. These compounds not only lower the risk of inflammation, they also have antioxidant properties.

2. It helps relieve arthritic pain
The antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds in yucca are believed to help individuals suffering from osteoarthritis, commonly referred to as the wear-and-tear form of arthritis.

3. It lowers blood cholesterol
Yucca is rich in steroidal saponins, plant-based chemical compounds that bind with cholesterol and helps the body get rid of it. Saponins also prevent the body from absorbing cholesterol and, thus, help lower cholesterol levels.

4. It fights heart disease
Yucca not only helps to reduce cholesterol levels; it also reduces oxidative stress on the cardiovascular system, thereby helping the body fight heart disease. Oxidative stress is caused by free radicals that weaken the cells and accelerate heart disease, cancer, and many other diseases associated with the aging process.

5. It strengthens the immune function.
Yucca is rich in antioxidants and Vitamin C, both of which boost immunity and overall health. Vitamin C stimulates the body to produce more white blood cells, the body’s “fighter cells.” It helps the body to fight viruses and bacteria. It prevents infections and diseases.

6. It enhances skin health.
Yucca has a range of skin benefits, including protecting the skin from sun damage. It is said to give the skin better sun protection than many sunscreen products available commercially. Many cosmetic and skin care products use yucca extract as one of their primary ingredients.

Where can I find natural yucca products

[SheritaLee-ersp]

I just brought some yuca root chips, they are good, I saw it in Burlington and thought I will buy it, they are an Heather alternative to pototoe chips. And now I know the health benifits I will be buying it more.

[Joyride]

Yuca is a staple in Puerto Rico and has been for hundreds of years. Good information but the mispronunciation of yuca drives me nuts. YOO-kah. Not yuh-kuh

[joanbewley]

How do you use the different parts of the plant

[CandyRayne]

Cassava, which is also known as yuca, is not interchangeable with yucca. The plants belong to different plant families: cassava belongs to the Euphorbiaceae family, while yucca belongs to the Asparagaceae.

[abrahamsmith]

What some people don’t understand is yuca and yucca are different totally two different plants

[EmpressVibes]

stopping the production of melanin is not a good thing for my skin. I will be striking this from my food list.

[dennistaft]

This is good to know but how do you use it?

[ThatHomestead]

This video is actually talking about Yuca. In the title, they have the word Yucca. Yucca roots are not edible. If you are going to put out videos of this nature, please please get your information correct before doing so. Someone could see this and pull a Yucca plant out of the ground and try to eat the root. Not good.

I am right now, eating roasted Yuccaroot for the very first time. I have to say IT IS
AWESOMELY DELICIOUS ! Its not only tasty, but the texture did it for me. When I started cutting it, I had my doubts. It was woody, and kind of tuff. Once roasted its NOT tuff at all. It is dense
Its denser then a potato, but thats one of the features that make it so good.
I WILL be eating this on a regular basis.
😎☝👍

[rothberg]

I eat mashed yucca and bison to heal my spirit.

[alice]

This videos is so wrong. Yucca is an ornamental plant, not to be confused with yuca or cassava. Everyone is a master on YouTube 😂 even people who have wrong info…

[MichaelJerkson]

If I cook it, do I lose the benefits?

[osilitali]

The fact that the name is misspelled and mispronounced made me quit watching this video right away
