What is better food, better health?

Am I a paleo blogger? No. Do I believe health starts with nutrition? Absolutely. If you're looking for a manifesto on clean eating and arguments in favor of a paleo lifestyle, you won't find it here. Check out The Whole9. In fact even if you're not looking for something radical check that site out anyway. It's a great starting point. It's got links and articles and a whole bunch of science - data - about nutrition and how our bodies use macronutrients. I'm not a licensed expert but I listen to experts who back up their claims with real compelling data. And I've tried a few different things to "eat healthier" over the years - Weight Watchers, Zone, starvation (that was a brilliant one) to name a few. Nothing has been better for me and yielded better results than eating low glycemic with a paleo foundation (it's actually similar to Zone too, but with less precision). I have a busy schedule, a two year old, a husband, a full time job, I work out and I have a closet for a kitchen. I figure there must be a few people out there who can relate to some of that. I used to think eating healthy and making time for regular meaningful exercise was "hard." It really just takes some guidance, awareness, and enthusiasm. So here's a start - here's what I cook and eat (and sometimes what I read).

Pumpkin Pie Chia Seed Pudding

Ingredients:
1/2 C puréed pumpkin
1/4 C homemade Almond Milk
1 Tbsp each: ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground allspice, ground nutmeg
3 Tbsp honey or coconut sugar
1/4 C chia seeds

Combine everything well and store in the refrigerator. Wait at least 25 minutes before serving. Depending how clean you're eating, this would be amazingly delicious with a dollop of Cool Whip. If you like this you'll probably also like Vanilla Cinnamon Chia Seed Pudding or Chocolate Chia Seed Pudding.
