Do you want twins? Eat more yams. Read how.

<similar to American sweet potatoes in wonders as health and fertility enhancing foods>. I once saw this:
Welcome Visitors To “The Land Of Twins” on a large stone plinth on the road going into a town in the south-western part of Nigeria.
These people are crazy about their yams.

A study conducted at the University of Ibadan, Nigeria, revealed more....... Yams contain phytoestrogens, weak estrogens that will inhibit the body’s own estrogen production in women who are estrogen dominant, it also contain a form of natural progesterone (dioscin).

Note: endometriosis and fibroids, are linked to estrogen dominance.

In women suffering from endometriosis and fibroids, the phytoestrogens and progesterone like properties in yams help regulate the estrogen progesterone balance.

The natural progesterone in yams help extend the luteal phase in women whose corpus luteum doesn’t produce enough progesterone causing early menstruation, also called luteal phase defect. And these phytoestrogens in yams counteract the effects of estrogen on the cervical fluid and make it too sticky for transport of sperm.

#Note: They can also thin the endometrial lining, similarly to the effect of the drug Clomid. So yams should only be eaten in the first half of the menstrual cycle. After ovulation you may need to say no to your cravings for yams.

*This is quite a remarkable phenomenon!
