Eating the right kind of healthy, nutrient-rich foods is one of the keys to lifelong strength and health. |
Hail to the Dinosaurs!
Two quick notes and then I'll share Trudi's
Super Nutrition Drink. It's great for keeping
your immune system in peak condition
during the winter flu season.

2. The Strength Secrets Facebook Group
I believe in hard work and heavy iron - and so do the members of the Strength Secrets Facebook group. |
John Wood has created a special, members only
Facebook group focusing on old-school strength
training and muscle building, Iron Game history,
old time physical culture, and everything else that
Dinos like.

3. Trudi's Super Nutrition Drink
It's the middle of the flu season - and Trudi
works at a health care facility - so she's
extra careful to do everything she can to
stay healthy.
One of her secrets is the Super Nutrition
Drink.
Use a juicer to make it.
If you don't have a juicer, a hand-mixer or
blender will work fine - except you'll have
more of a smoothie than an actual juice.
If you make a smoothie, you'll need to
add water before mixing or blending.
For superb good health, always eat plenty of foods packed with antioxidants and phytochemicals - and supplement your meals with Trudi's super nutrition drink. |
Here's the recipe:
1. Juice some fresh ginger root. Use one or
TBS of ginger juice for your drink. Pour it into
a glass and set it to the side until you mix the
other ingredients.
You'll probably have extra ginger juice. If
you do, set it aside and save it separately
for later use.
Ginger is highly anti-inflammatory and
is great for your immune system.
CAUTION: fresh ginger is strong stuff -
so don't go wild and overdo it the first
time! Start with a TSP or two - not a
TBS - and get used to it. From there,
build up to one or two TBS of ginger
juice.
I got inspired as I typed this Blog post, so I whipped up a quick Super Nutrition Drink with an apple, strawberries, a teaspoon of fresh squeezed lime juice and a tablespoon of fresh ginger juice. |
2. Now juice any fresh fruit of your
choice.
Trudi likes apples, oranges, lemon,
grapefruit, or berries.
You can use one fruit or two fruits that
would work well together. For example,
oranges and berries go well together -
and so do apples and berries, or apples
and lemons.
Fresh fruit is packed with antioxidants
and phytochemicals that will work with
the ginger juice to help rev up your
immune system.
Health warriors. |
NOTE: if you're short on time, just mix
the ginger juice in some unsweetened
100% fruit juice. Berry, cherry and
pomegranite juice are VERY healthy.
NOTE 2: Here's a bonus for you! One
8 oz. glass of pomegranate juice every
day for just a couple of weeks increased
testosterone levels in men by almost 20
percent! (And they weren't even training -
so imagine what would happen if you
were doing regular Dino-style workouts
while drinking pomegranate juice every
day.)
3. Optional - juice one or two carrots.
These go well with citrus fruit or berries.
They also go well with apples.
Carrots provide additional antioxidants
and phytochemicals which will increase
the health benefits of the drink.
4. Mix the fruit juice (or fruit and carrot
juice) with the ginger juice - give it a stir -
and enjoy!
As far as amounts go - two pieces of
fruit, two carrots and two TBS of ginger
juice will make a small (4 to 6 oz) serving.
That's all you need, because there is so
much concentrated nutrition in this drink.
Give it a try, and let me know how you
like this super-nutritious and super-
healthy drink!
Yours in strength,
