Medical and nutritional research continues to provide a host of reasons to increase dietary fiber in our diets. Fiber consumption appears to significantly lower risks for developing heart disease, stroke, diabetes and high blood pressure.

"Increasing dietary fiber by consuming foods high in fiber, the leading source of which is fruits and vegetables, is a healthy choice," said Amy Kunugi, chair of the Colorado Fruit & Vegetable Growers Association Nutrition and Health Committee.

Kiowa County and most of southeast Colorado can expect warm and mostly dry conditions through the weekend before chances of thunderstorms return early in the week.

An upper level ridge will remain in place through the weekend. Mid-80s can be expected for the high Friday, before a very slight cooling to the low 80s for Saturday and Sunday. Overnight temperatures will range from the upper 40s to low 50.

I apologize for not letting everyone know last evening that I wouldn't have an article this week.  I just spaced it out.  I will not have an article on June 5 and 12th.  I will be in New Jersey with my grandkids.  See you on the 19th.  Sharon
