Sure the Pumpkin Spice Latte at Starbucks is a delicious way to taste the fall season, but are you willing to counter your crisp autumn run by consuming 13 grams of fat and 380 calories? If your answer is no but you’ve still been craving fall foods post-workout (and all other times of the day), I have compiled a few post-workout meal ideas and recipes that not only taste great but also have extra benefits to help you recover faster and stronger for your next workout. Roast Chicken with Butternut Squash With protein and potassium from the chicken and squash, this meal promotes muscle growth and healthy bones to keep workouts strong. Squash is in season early fall through winter, and in addition to having bone-health promoting potassium, it offers a good source of antioxidants, which are a natural anti-inflammatory. Pumpkin Oatmeal This meal offers immune-fighting carotenoids and Vitamin C found in the pumpkin and both soluble and insoluble fiber in the pumpkin and oats. The two types of fiber work together to fight cancer, lower cholesterol and restore carbohydrates lost in a workout. For even more fall-rich flavor, add protein rich pecans to your oatmeal. Fresh Figs with Walnuts and Maple Syrup A good source of dietary fiber, magnesium and potassium, figs are power-recovery foods that will not weigh you down for your next training session. The magnesium in the figs helps prevent cramps while working out and promotes calcium absorption in the bones. The other main ingredient in this simple dish is maple syrup, which also contains magnesium and zinc, both of which benefit the body’s immune system to help and defensed against getting sick.
Elon University students are busy people, there's no doubt about that. If you're someone who isn't heavily involved in at least one extra-curricular organization, if not more, then you are in the minority.

Before this NFL season began, a rule was implemented into the new Collective Bargaining Agreement that moved kickoffs up to the 35-yard line with the intention of cutting down on the number of serious injuries that seemed to happen at least once in every game played. Despite good intentions, fans and the media immediately jumped all over the new policy, angrily exclaiming that this new rule would ruin a part of the sport many find to be the most exciting aspect of the NFL. Even some NFL players have voiced their disapproval of the new rule.

Grace Elkus Senior Reporter I am so glad I had the chance to interview Stacey Crutchfield, an Elon sophomore who is also an Elon Academy scholar. Stacey has lived in Burlington her whole life, and both sets of her grandparents are from Alamance County. None of Stacey’s grandparents, parents, aunts, uncles or older cousins attended college, so she never seriously considered applying. Stacey told me she wasn’t motivated to try very hard in her classes her freshman year of high school. But when she heard about Elon Academy, she decided to fill out the application. She was one of 26 students accepted into the program. It was there she realized that college was more than just some “far off idea.” She began doing better in class and challenging herself in harder courses. She was also happy that the Academy included her family in some of the meetings, so they could understand how the program could help her apply to college and for grants and scholarships. Stacey had never been interested in attending Elon because it was so close to her home. But when she was offered the Odyssey scholarship, which provided her with generous academic and social support, she knew she could not pass up the opportunity. Now that she’s a student at Elon, Stacey works with the Academy to coordinate the summer program and works with the younger scholars. I was truly inspired by Stacey. She is extremely self-motivated and made me realize that so many of us take going to college for granted - an obvious next step after high school. I look forward to writing more articles for the Pendulum that allow me interview such motivated and passionate people. Look for Grace's story about the Elon Academy in this week's issue of The Pendulum.
