Get Yam Happy…

We all know how happy we get when we see yams on the table for thanksgiving but did you know that eating yams can improve your mood?

Yams and other complex carbohydrates provide the brain with certain nutrients that increase serotonin in production in the brain. Serotonin is that fun and funky little brain chemical that makes us feel all warm and fuzzy. Yams also contain tryptophan, YES, that sleepy chemical in turkey that makes all of us pass out during thanksgiving is actually converted into an amino acid that helps our bodies produce more serotonin.

That’s right folks, yams are this season’s “double rainbow” even more reason to load up your plates during you holiday feast with Bruce’s Yams. Now you know why you smile when digging into that Sweet Potato Casserole this year.
