It is important for women to focus on their physical health, particularly as they reach their 40’s and 50’s. Often, at that time in many women's lives, they are so focused on the health of those around them. But in addition to managing the health of their children and partner, it’s important for women to remember to take care of themselves as well.

 

Don’t Just Diet, Aim for Better Eating

 

Women often feel heavy societal pressure to look a certain way. One of the negative side effects of this pressure is the popularity of unhealthy, extreme dieting methods. If you’re looking to change up your diet for the better, opt for subtle changes in your eating habits and strive to have a diet filled with greens, fruits, smart carbs, fiber, healthy fats, and proteins. Don’t feel like you have to cut out every single treat, just remember to keep them in moderation. And lastly, don’t be afraid to ask for professional help from a nutritionist or dietetic counselor.
