The Second 50

So. In The Second 50, I’ve been paying more attention to what my body is telling me. Not just the unfamiliar aches and pains, but the  cold that just won’t shift and the stress headaches that repeat a few times each week. And as we’ve also recently made a commitment to more hiking, I’ve even been looking at how I get more out of this 51 year old body of mine.

I stumbled across this article about gut inflammation. New topic for me. Blew my mind. They’re talking about me!

I had no idea just how critical gut health is to overall body health (skin, nails, hair, organs) and brain health (cognition, alertness, good sleep).

Mind blowing.

I think I’ve found a new area of interest.
