"Today's women age 50 and older control more than 75% of the nation's wealth, are the fastest growing group on Facebook, and are the healthiest, most active generation of women in the history of the US," said Mary Pat Byrne, creator of a new website www.JustaNumber.com. With over 20 years in the health care field, Byrne created the site to meet the health and informational needs of this powerful demographic.

"I personally was fed up with what is available to me on the web in terms of quality health information," said Byrne. "If you look at the most popular sites, the focus is on 'the flat-belly diet' and 'how to drop a dress size and get great glutes in one week.' We created JustaNumber.com to offer practical, bonafide information to help women live healthily. We go beyond fad diets and celebrity news to offer practical advice, real voices, and non-celebrity role models."

JustaNumber.com has an all-female panel of advisors including physicians, experts in nutrition, fitness, emotional well-being, aging, legal issues, finance, and caregiving.

"We are very proud of the distinguished panel of health experts we have on JustANumber.com," said Site Director Eileen Brennan. "All of our experts have knowledge, passion, and a true dedication to women's health, and this is what sets us apart," she said. "Our experts pointed out that caregiving is a huge issue for women over 50. And according to the U.S. Census Bureau, 75% of caregivers of older family members and friends are women," Brennan noted.

The JustaNumber.com website features include:

Women's Health in the News, with articles on the latest health topics for women 50 and over as well as weekly medical news briefs.

Fitness and Nutrition, offering practical nutrition and fitness news.

Living and Caring, featuring articles on emotional well-being, financial stability, and caregiving.

Real Voices, an expressive portion of the website that allows the audience to contribute their thoughts and experiences on living life to the fullest from age 50 and beyond. Included is an honest and candid feature article written by the "Dining Divas," as well as a place for users to feature someone or someplace that inspires them in the "Who Inspires You?" and "Inspired Travel" sections.

Books and Resources, provides reviews of books that the experts and site's audience have found helpful, and lists of organizations and websites of organizations and resources.

JustaNumber.com was launched by WebEd Inc., a female-owned and operated company located in Chicago, Illinois. The site will feature new information every week.
