This helpful animated short created by Eva Hill explains the difference between a Sweet Potato and a Yam.
Enjoy!
When you go to buy potatoes you generally just have to pick a color or a name, because whether they’re red, russet or fingerling they’re all called potatoes in the end.

Need some motivation that shows you real results from perseverance? Nothing motivates quite like finding out that even famous creators and inventors were in the exact same boat as you, maybe even for longer.

Do you know what your blood pressure should be?
Regulating your blood pressure can become a real virtue, unless you are older and unable to do so. In that case, this is pretty harmful and sometimes impossible. This was shown in a study that involved 2,000 seniors. The results were published online in the Archives of Internal Medicine and they actually surprised the world.

This causes heart attack, heart failure, stroke, kidney failure, and other dangerous health issues. This is the reason why most doctors reach for aggressive therapies when it comes to treating hypertension.
