Simple Health, Fitness & Nutrition Hacks Women Need in Their 40’s
Women become vulnerable to disease as they age and should prioritise these exercises

As women, our bodies undergo many complex hormonal shifts, which never seem to end. I’m thinking about this much more after my hysterectomy and the lead-up to menopause.
