• Fiber……..

    Yesterday I talked about the aging advantages and disadvantages. Today, fiber and the fact that, I don’t have to color my hair anymore unless I want too. I’m retired and can pretty much do as I want. If I want I can sit on my tush and binge-watch Netflix shows 24/7. I’m my own boss. I wish my body knew that I was in charge! Between hot-flashes; (which I would TOTALLY deny if given the opportunity) to being ‘regular’ my body has a mind of its own. Oh to be young again when I didn’t have to think about getting enough fiber in my diet. Who knew that fiber would turn out to be my best friend? Seriously, fiber is good for everything from lowering my cholesterol (which is too high according to my doctor!) To helping control your blood sugar levels; when you have a high occurrence of diabetes in the family like I do this is REALLY important!! Ahhh genetics!! Fiber is also so important in normalizing bowel movements. Who would have thought that would even be an issue ….. like EVER!?!? I sure didn’t think that when I was young. Your body needs fiber but never actually digests.…
