Why Women Over 40 Need More Fiber
Fiber plays a vital role in maintaining overall health and preventing various health issues that tend to become more prevalent as we age.
As women age, their nutritional needs evolve, and fiber becomes an indispensable component of a healthy diet. With its diverse benefits, including improved digestive health, heart disease prevention, and hormonal balance, fiber is an essential ally for women over 40. It plays a crucial role in preventing a range of health issues that become more common with age.
Fiber, also known as dietary fiber or roughage, is a type of carbohydrate that the body can’t digest or absorb. It’s found in plant-based foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and nuts. Fiber comes in two forms: soluble and insoluble.

Palm Beach at Christmas
It took me a while to get used to spending the holiday season in a place without snow, but, after fifteen years, I have to admit that Floridians get the Christmas thing very right. It is beautiful in every way. I just got back from seeing the 2022 Christmas tree at the Flagler Museum and all I can say is, “wow.” Just wow.

The Beauty of the Hudson Valley
I was raised in the lower part of the Hudson Valley region. If you ask me where I’m from that’s the response you’ll get. If you ask me who I am, however, that’s also the response you’ll get.
I feel a kinship with the Hudson River School painters, like Thomas Cole, Asher Durand and Frederic Edwin Church. I have a bachelor’s in art history. I’ve focused on Italian art from the Renaissance Art to the present and American art from the Hudson River School till the present. I continue to study and learn all I can. It’s an enjoyable and interesting lifelong journey!
