The Konjac Root: A Natural Way To Improve Your Health
Join Dr. Van Dyken as she discusses Konjac. In this video, we explore the amazing health benefits of konjac, a root vegetable native to Southeast Asia that has been used for centuries in traditional medicine and cuisine. Konjac is rich in glucomannan, a type of soluble fiber that helps with weight loss, blood sugar control, and cholesterol reduction. The high fiber content of konjac also promotes healthy digestion and prebiotic effects that promote beneficial gut bacteria. Additionally, konjac is rich in antioxidants, making it a great ingredient for healthy skin. We discuss the science behind these health benefits and also take a look at how konjac is grown, harvested, and processed into popular products like konjac flour and noodles.
Also, how is Konjac Pronounced? "Kon-jack" or "Kon-yac?"

Another amazing video by Dr VanDyken. I have watched well over 3,000 functional medicine videos and you are at the top 1 percent. Thanks for this video!

Aloha, thank you for your informative video.👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Loveee your dress 😊
Nice..
Aloha I live on Kauai and just discovered your videos. Amazing information, Mahalo Nui. Just out of curiosity, have you ever looked into "grounding" (earthing)? I just started 3 days ago and I feel better already. Is it all in my mind or is it that simple solutions are the best. Have a wonderful day.

How is the root processed to make flour? Which brand have you found best?
It is eaten in South India. They eat it without processing except cooked by boiling and stewing. Use to eat it on my vacations. Available in Indian and sri lankan stores in ontario canada.
Most of the Konjac plants are in Indonesia... Hundreds of thousands of hectares have been cultivated in our place
Hi, where I can buy Konjac Root or Bulbs? I would like to plant it in my backyard...
Fantastic information. Konjac is toxic in its raw state and must be thoroughly processed before consuming.
Konjak is most commonly used in deserts, green colored konjac noodles sometimes flavored with pandan juice or pandan extract in slightly sugared cocounut milk and crushed ice and maybe a small dash of orange flower water is popular in Thailand and other parts of South East Asia. Also, short pieces of very thick konjak noodles are put in milk tea drinks or coconut water kind of like instead of boba balls. As long as you use no sugar or at least low amounts sugar, these could be good for filling your belly and very tasty treats, but some westerners don't like slimy/chewy things in their dessert soup or beverages, most people here in Sweden I have given it to thinks it's disgusting also almost no swedes i've that i've met like bubble tea for same reason.... "ew slimy/snotty/chewy things in my beverage, disgusting"... but I do like it. But most ppl have an aversion to slimy things in liquid. Also health courses like this and other of your videos are seen with great suspision here, like some sort of potential source of online bad information. And a lot of the stuff on many "health" channels is certainly mumbo jumbo, it's just they tend to include even serious stuff like yours in the same group, because culturally many people are absolutely allergic to that kind of thing, but might go to far.
Over the top presentation, I know you're happy to share the information but my goodness. I'm here for the education.

@@githasingh9010 something the video didn't talk about is that konjac is high in oxalate, you need to process them before consuming

I looked up the pronunciation. She pronouncing "j" as "y" as in German. Well, she is Dutch very similar to German Ja? It should be pronounced Kaanj(ah)ck with a "j" not "y".
