Last night for our advanced exercise physiology "final exam" (i.e. cookout), we all had to bring foods that had anti-aging qualities. I made a blackberry strawberry apple crisp. Blackberries, strawberries, and apples contain polyphenol antioxidants which can help reduce inflammation, coronary artery disease, and wrinkling of skin. I used the apple crisp recipe from the Joy of Cooking, which makes a great-tasting crisp every time.
Also making an appearance at the cookout were two salads, mashed sweet potatoes, grilled portabello mushrooms, couscous, banana walnut chocolate bread, spring rolls, almonds, dark beer, red wine, a veggie tray, and a fruit tray.

Sounds delicious AND nutritious. I quick read a few blog entries and this appealed to me most. Best wishes in college. Don't forget the non-food antioxidants, like pycnogenol, grape seed extract, red wine extract, and bilberry extract. There is potency that is gained through extracts. What do you think about non-food items?
