The things you didn’t know you needed to know about fiber
Come to find out, there’s more to fiber than I thought. During my daughter’s last doctor’s visit I asked him specifically about her protein intake because she seldomly eats meat and I wanted to make sure that her diet was, essentially, “doctor approved”. His response surprised me. He said that I shouldn’t worry so much about the protein, but instead I should focus more on her fiber intake. He then went on to explain the particulars of that as it pertained to her health, but my take-away was that fiber can be more important to our overall health than I had initially thought. And that applies to all of us.

The Importance of Spa Facials
Facials are more than luxury. For many of us, going to a spa for a facial is seen as a special trip we make in order to “treat” ourselves.
