Delicious Anti-aging Foods
I always look forward to this time of year — when the days get shorter and temperatures drop. This is the perfect time to go for a hike in the woods, toss a football, wear those comfortable corduroy pants, crank up the fire place, and have some warm nourishing food. Soups are a staple for many people in the fall. I have included some soup recipes with great seasonal foods like pumpkin, lentils, and sweet potatoes, as well as some tasty side salads recipes to complete your meal.

Elaine Hardman, Ph.D., of Marshall’s School of Medicine believes walnuts may have at least three components that may account for their cancer-slowing effect. They are high in omega-3 fatty acids, which have been shown to slow cancer growth. They also include antioxidants and components called phytosterols, both of which have shown cancer-slowing effects in other studies.
