I just did! Why don't you try some?
Last night I ate too much. I still feel stuffed. I am also going to start having sweet potatoes. They are good for a lot of things.
Yesterday I went to ebay and saw a tunic I liked that was cheap. I didn't buy it! what a relief. I am hoping my spree is over. I have been addicted to buying tunics, went to ebay this morning and saw two cheap tunics I liked but thank goodness didn't buy them.
Yesterday I went to the bank with an aide. It was so nice.We talked a lot. Her mother had a heart transplant eight years ago. Yesterday I used her arm for support going to the bank and then coming back. We chatted at the bank for 15 minutes. The bank is only two blocks away. Everything seemed to be hurting. I think part of it was from using my recumbent bike. I will use it today! Marci came and she was so good to me. I told her my tops were a mess because when danny came over and robert let go of the leash, he leaped over the pile tops to get on the bed for goodies. The clothes got scattered. Marci had arranged them neatly last week. She wants robert to bring him over so she can see him again. I forgot if I wrote that I read that Basenjis are more like wild dogs than domesticated ones. You should see him chew!

Sweet potatoes help regulate blood pressure
One cup of sweet potato baked in its skin provides 950 mg of potassium. That’s more than twice the amount in a medium banana. Potassium essentially sweeps excess sodium and fluid out of the body, which lowers blood pressure and reduces strain on the heart. Potassium also helps regulate heart rhythm and muscle contractions. According to the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, less than 2% of Americans meet the daily recommended potassium target of 4,700 mg.

They may help support weight loss
About 12% of the starch in sweet potatoes is resistant starch, a filling, fiber-like substance your body doesn’t digest and absorb. One study found that replacing just 5.4% of total carbohydrate intake with resistant starch resulted in a 20 to 30% increase in fat burning after a meal. Resistant starch also prompts the body to pump out more satiety-inducing hormones.
