In this week's Wednesday episode we discussed the Blue Zones of Okinawa and Loma Linda.  During the discussion on Okinawa, the topic of the sweet potato was brought up and how he was the primary food source for the people of Okinawa up until World War II.

This topic got me thinking about how the root vegetable of the sweet potato and other yams and tubers have had an impressive inclusion into our lives as people.

Did you know the production of progesterone and cortisol was made more main stream thanks to a tuber in Mexico?

Even the great sprinter Usain Bolt always ate his yams (at least according to his dad). 

Listen in to get my thoughts on how this food may be more than meets the eye (yes that was a dad joke focused on potatoes and eyes).
