Dedication
The proceedings of the conference are dedicated to the concept of positive
health as enunciated by the Hippocratic physicians (5th century BC).
Positive health requires a knowledge of man’s primary constitution (which
today we call genetics) and of the powers of various foods, both those natural to
them and those resulting from human skill (today’s processed food). But eating
alone is not enough for health. There must also be exercise, of which the effects
must likewise be known. The combination of these two things makes regimen,
when proper attention is given to the season of the year, the changes of the
winds, the age of the individual and the situation of his home. If there is any
deficiency in food or exercise the body will fall sick.
Olympian Ode 2004
Lee Pinkerson
The Olympic games of Ancient Greece
even more than athletic feats
praise the spirit of life divine
handed down from God through our ancestral line
In body and soul, in heart and mind
the ways of goodness they refined
celebrated and known by all the Greek world
unified in this concept, there’s no place for war
Where the will to live burns bright
they try with all their might
awakening grace to join them and take flight
every four years at the great Olympic games
In the land of the wild olive branch
the walnut and the honey bee
embraced by a sea where the fish run free
is a diet that is high in omega-3
The goats eat their fill
of the plants on the hill
so even the cheese
has omega-3s
The ancients had the nourishment they’d need
to make them strong and make them smart
fill the air with song and excel in the arts
their world did dance in harmony
And the walls would melt away
when together they would play
where race and class no longer separate
every four years at the great Olympic games
A millennium has come again
the Olympics are back where they began
let’s remember all they truly are
More than a game, they’re a way of life
a torch to guide us past painful strife
for possessions will not take us very far
But the food we eat and the work we do
the way we treat each other and the planet too
will show how sweet we greet the daytime star
every four years at the great Olympic games
Lee Pinkerson wrote the lyrics and music for the Olympian song in
February 2004 in honor of the 2004 Olympic Summer Games in Athens, and for
the Fifth International Conference on Nutrition and Fitness. A CD recording of
her singing and guitar performance was given to the conference program par-
ticipants. She can be reached from her website at http://www.leepinkerson.com.
