Meatza-Meatza!

I finally took the plunge and made a meatza! These seem fairly popular through the paleo community and I've been interested for awhile now. I was hesitant with adding in dairy to my diet, but after finding some raw cheese at the local co-op I decided to go for it. What follows is mainly just some food porn, so enjoy!

Nature is Good for you!! Duh!

As if you needed another excuse to get outside and enjoy all that nature has to offer, now scientists are proving the health benefits. The researchers in this study determined that being in a natural setting had positive effects on well being and vitality. Add in some movement and play and you've got a cocktail for happiness. Don't forget about the vitamin D you'll be getting from the sun while you're at it! Health benefits abound us all. Could this somehow be related to our genetic makeup from ancestors living, hunting, and foraging for all their lives? Well the jury is still out on that one, but it would make sense from an evolutionary stand point. Either way I suggest you get out and enjoy the beauty that surrounds you.

Running as a health panacea

I've gotten awfully fed up lately with people saying they need to lose weight and get in shape when they clearly have no motivation or intention to do so. Even more so is when people decide that they should start running to do so! For the sedentary individual looking to make a quick turnaround running is quite possibly the worst idea. Would you take the broken down jalopy behind your garage out to the track and try to go 150mph? Would you try to run a motocross race on a dirt bike with broken shocks? Then why subject your body to the same fate?
