Yes, Orangatuang, that is an excellent point you have made as with regards to pure soft juice
health drinks, as they are an excellent way to get our daily dose of some of the essential
vitamins and minerals, especially for people who are not all that keen on eating either
vegetables, and/or, fruit. Vitamins and minerals that are often destroyed by some of our everyday cooking methods.
I have bought both a smoothie maker, and a juice maker, so that I can make my own
health drinks etc.; also an excellent way to blend flavours, especially if there is one
particular flavour that someone is not keen on. Therefore, whilst carbonated health drinks
could be said to be that first stepping stone into the health world open market, to be truely
up to date on that score is definetly in the form of both pure soft juice drinks and natural
fruit smoothies.
Let's take that even one step further, Steven could also even open up his own string of
health drink bars across the world - now wouldn't that be something! They could even
each have their own in residence chinese herbalist, who could also recommend particular
mixes of drinks according to anyone customer's health, that is for those who wanted that
particular mix according to their own individual medical needs.
I feel that average Chinese herbalist these days charges way too much for the everyday
person on the street, and in turn in many instances they are wondering why they have
a significant shortage of customers. In business if you charge high prices you get
a slow return in terms of actual profit, whereas if you charge low/reasonable prices you
achieve a much quicker return in terms of actual profit. Therefore, if Steven did the above
he would be providing a 'middle way' that would be available to everyone from the very
rich down to the very poor.
I just wish I had his medical skills in both herbs and acupuncture!
