The Health Benefits of Tapioca
What is Tapioca? Tapioca is a purified starch extracted from cassava root. It is native to the northern region of Brazil, but can now be found all over South America, and in the rest of the world. It has been a staple food in South America for thousands of years and has become quite popular in Asia and Africa as well.
Health Benefits of Tapioca 1. Increases energy levels A pure starch, tapioca is highly caloric, making it a perfect choice of food before or after a workout. Additionally, if you notice that your energy levels drop long before the day ends, it's often a sign that you did not consume enough carbohydrates during the day. Tapioca, being a pure starch, is considered a complex carbohydrate, making it a great way to maintain energy levels throughout the day. | ||||||||
2. Better digestion Adding tapioca to your diet will do wonders for your digestion, thanks to its high level of dietary fiber. It helps move food through your digestive tract, which alleviates gas problems, including bloating and flatulence, prevents constipation and intestinal pain, and even reduces the risk of colon cancer. Furthermore, the dietary fiber scrapes bad cholesterol off of the arterial walls, reducing the risk of heart attacks and strokes.
3. Improved circulation Tapioca contains plenty of iron, which is an essential mineral in the human body since it has a vital role in forming red blood cells. Eating tapioca increases the production of blood cells, preventing anemia, and improving oxygen flow to the body, keeping it in peak condition.
4. Stronger bones Tapioca contains iron and calcium – both are essential in the protection and development of bones in the body. As bone density decreases with age, adding tapioca to your diet will help your body regain density once more, preventing osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, and reduced flexibility. | ||||||||
