Stop guessing about “eating healthy”—let’s talk real nourishment. 🥗✨ Here’s what science tells us: ✅ Protein first: Women in their 40s need 25–30g of protein per meal to maintain muscle, metabolism, and keep you full longer. Think eggs, salmon, Greek yogurt, or lentils. ✅ Fiber is your friend: 25–30g daily supports gut health, balances blood sugar, and keeps digestion smooth. Load up on leafy greens, berries, beans, and whole grains. 💧 Hydration matters more than you think: Even mild dehydration can mimic hunger and drain your energy. Aim for half your body weight in ounces of water each day. 🥑 Healthy fats help: Omega-3s from walnuts, flax, or salmon fight inflammation and support brain health. Bottom line? Real nourishment isn’t about restriction—it’s about the right fuel. Build each meal with protein + fiber + healthy fats + hydration, and watch your energy, mood, and health transform.
