Cheer to Your Health 2
Below are six more drinks for your good health. If the first five are not to your liking, then one of these five drinks listed here might be for you.
A right drink at a right time can set the mood for intimacy, help to relax, enhance your memory, give a needed dose of vitamins, or bone-building calcium.
1. Vegetables Juice
Eat your vegetables! Well, how about drink your vegetables. If you need a dose of vitamins, a v-8 is your answer. It helps cardiovascular disease. In an 8-ounce of 100% vegetables juice gives you enough vitamins, calcium, magnesium, and potassium for good health.
2. Banana Smoothie
Blend up a cup of skim milk or fat free yogurt with banana and drink up. The smell of banana seems to increase blood flow to the genitals area. It will revive your sex life. For men, pumpkin pie, lavender, licorice, and doughnuts are the smells that turn them on. The secret is out!
3. Chocolate Milk
Milk contains calcium. Real cocoa is full of antioxidants, which help repair muscles pain from exercise. Chocolate milk has high carbohydrates content, which restores glycogen back into the muscle. This is a better choice for bone-building calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, and vitamin B than regular sport drinks. Chocolate milk is especially good for young boys and girls since they often don’t get enough calcium.
4. Grapefruit Juice
Grapefruit has a reputation of helping you drop pounds. An 8-ounce of grapefruit drink before each meal will drop about 3.3 pounds. As with all fruit, grapefruit gives load of vitamins, and is high in antioxidant. Grapefruit can also lower the levels of insulin, which regulates blood sugar and fat metabolism. In turn, it helps prevent diabetes.
A note of caution, grapefruit can interact with a number of medicines, and can cause serious effects. Check with your doctor before drinking grapefruit juice.
5. Green Tea
Green tea helps boost up your memory, and keeps your mind sharp. It can also reduce of the risk of cancer, lower cholesterol, calming stomach ailments, and preventing cavities. Green tea has a higher contribution to health than any other tea. It is packed with antioxidant. However, green tea is not recommended for nursing or pregnant women.
6. Warm Milk
Can’t sleep? Drink some warm milk to de-stress. Warm milk has a calming effect because it activates amino acid tryptophans that tell the brain to take a rest. This is a popular remedy that has been around for years. It might work for some people, and it might not. Personally, holding a cup of warm milk in my hand is enough to relax me.
These drinks are good for your health. Whether you want a boost in vitamins, have a better sex life, improve your memory, lose a few pounds, or just relax, than these drinks are for you. Enjoy, and cheer to your good health.

Francie,
Why not have 2 banana smoothies while you’re at it. Double the doses for more fun.

Your body cannot use the calcium in milk because it neutralizes the stomach’s acid–which is necessary for calcium use in the stomach. The various ooooooohs and aaaaaaaaahs about memories of hot milk are STUPID and off the topic. Feel good is not good nutrition. Dark green veggies are MUCH BETTER THAN MILK for calcium.
Please get educated on your topic.

Lord Spatz, if you are getting upset reading it, why don’t you just close it out instead of leaving comment. You sound pretty stupid, yourself..
