26 Energy Health Drinks for all

Before starting my article I will like to say a few words about health.

"Every human being is the author of his own health or disease."
"He, who has health, has hope. And he, who has hope, has everything."
"It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver."

Back in the 60's, believe it or not, we had Health Spas. They were equivalent to today's gyms, with a sauna, swimming pool, steam room and a healthy drink bar.

My father was a personal trainer, part-time in the evening and a welder during the day. He would come home and mix up some "energy health drinks" for me and my mother.

These are some of the drinks he used to make. I love the names of some of these. Each recipe makes 1 drink, so you can double or triple the recipe according to how many people you have.

SPA "FOUNTAIN OF VIGOR"

2 Tablespoons of raw sugar (I use Turbinado. You could use 2 packets of Splenda, also), 2 Tablespoons fresh strawberries, 1 Tablespoon vanilla protein powder, 1 teaspoon wheat germ, 1/2 teaspoon Brewer's yeast, 1 cup skim milk and 1 cup ice. If you don't like to add ice, you can freeze the fruit. (250 calories)

Shaded Memories
by Koye Lott

Your conscience is having lemonade
under the shade tree of your new self....
Drinking the cool nectar of self forgiveness
and washing away the sorrows of your wrongs
Like waking up from a dream to a fantasy fulfilled
on a sailboat in the seas of humanity.... facing a horizon
that stretches into infinity...
You sit on an island of ideas under a tree of hope
and write about your shaded memories....
Todd, you know i value your input greatly!

The hardest person to forgive, our self. I like what this says and the peaceful way in which you say it. Lovely pen this morning. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
