6 Million Kids lack Vitamin D!

Barb — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 00:51:56 +0000

Remember how much milk we drank when we were kids? Now they drink soda! Yuck. This article just came across the Watkins hotline. I’d like to share it with you.

An article in the Health Day News (10/26/2009) states that a new study finds that over 6 million American children are getting too little of vitamin D. “There are a lot of studies demonstrating associations between low levels of vitamin D and a laundry list of poor health outcomes,” noted lead researcher Dr. Jonathan Mansbach, an assistant professor of pediatrics at Harvard Medical School and a pediatrician at Children’s Hospital Boston.

Make sure your child has enough vitamin D. Watkins Children’s Chewable contains 400 to 200 IU of this essential vitamin. Along with giving children’s bodies vitamin D, it contains more vitamins and minerals than the leading brands. Not just in number, but in potency. Watkins Children’s Chewable is naturally sweetened with pure fruit sugar; contains no sucrose (table sugar) or aspartame, as found in leading brands.

Hear what other consumers have to say about Watkins Children’s Chewable:

“My 8-year old daughter used to have ear infections every month. Since using Watkins Children’s Chewables, she no longer has ear infections and has missed no days of school from illness. We use many of Watkins dietary supplements, and it’s the best health insurance investment we’ve ever made.”
— Laurie Bird, Arizona

“My daughter had been struggling in school; she couldn’t focus and her grades were falling. Her teacher thought she had attention deficit disorder. I started giving her Watkins Children’s Chewable, and in two weeks her teacher said, ‘Whatever you are doing…keep it up.’ She finished the year with straight A’s.”
— Tawny Dawson, Pennsylvania

Everyone wants to be Free!!!

It’s true. Free is another one of those words that really makes you think – what is “Free/Freedom?” For me, it’s that feeling you get when you know anything is possible. For me, freedom has a lot to do with success – I strive for financial freedom.Taking a vacation, just picking up and going – seeing something in a store that I just can’t live without and being able to buy it. Knowing that I have the ability to do anything without restriction (as long as it’s legal of course!) whenever I want. So, how do you become free, achieve freedom? Well, if you’re like most of us you have to work at it – try your best every day to reach the apex of your career, to find that Zen moment when you can say, “I’ve arrived!” I’m still working at it – but I know I can do it. I received a great email today from a couple of my upline leaders, Fran & Dave Daisey – I’d like to share it with you:

“To realize the fullest potential of Watkins/Summit Group you must continuously grow your knowledge, polish your attitudes, expand your view of the world and reinvent yourself. This brings us to one over-riding conclusion. For you to become highly successful in Watkins you must become fully responsible and totally accountable for your success. You must become self-directed, self-motivated, self-starting and self-navigating. You must develop an unyielding level of self-determination. Believe that you can take charge of your destiny and you will change your life. Recognize that the YOU who got you to this point in your life is not necessarily the YOU who will be capable of achieving your dreams. You must create a different YOU for a different tomorrow! This may require some serious personal re-inventing but YOU CAN DO IT!

Watkins can’t make you successful – only you can. The Summit Group can give you all manner of support and guidance but it can’t make you successful. You may have an excellent Sponsor but he/she will not make you successful. You and only you can achieve success and create wealth in your life. Achieving success and building wealth begins by creating a new YOU!”

I’m going to do it. YOU can too! The holidays are coming soon – I’m already hearing ads for Christmas, stores are already stocking and preparing for it. Watkins products align perfectly with the seasons – gifts, spices, treats, baking supplies – I’m going to make it happen and anyone who wants to join me – click on that “Sell Watkins” link to the right - WE can do it.

Hi, my name is Barb and I’m a food addict…

Barb — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 14:42:49 +0000

Hi Barb! Yeah, I’m going to have to admit it. I LOVE food. Live to eat vs eat to live. I spend about 75% of my waking hours thinking about what I’m going to eat, when I’m going to eat – it’s crazy! Luckily – I’m a healthy eater. I can make the most wonderful, clean, nutritious meals – it’s no wonder I love food. I’m an excellent cook! Last night we had company and my husband went to town, wings, poppers, fries, weenies wrapped in bacon – what?!? Where’s the salad? Where are my healthy green vegetables? I told our company that my husband was very happy they came as he doesn’t get the chance to eat like that… So, I waited until everyone was done and snuck into the kitchen to make something I wanted to eat. I made a delicious, creamy polenta and to season it I added Watkin’s Organic Chicken Seasoning, so good! I went out to the garden, picked a zucchini and a green pepper – sliced them up and sauteed them in olive oil with a little Watkin’s Garlic Liquid Spice then when they were properly carmelized served them in a bowl over the polenta. I know I’ve mentioned that I’m losing weight – 40 lbs so far, and it’s amazing to me that I can eat so much and still lose weight. You have to make a committment to yourself to get healthy. Be a food addict like me! Take a minute to go to the “buy Watkins” link on the right, don’t forget – Independent Associate #383996!

Pizza! Pizza!

Barb — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 00:33:10 +0000

I have to tell you – I was so excited when I got my first bag of Watkins pizza crust mix (whole wheat of course!) It was so easy to make – add water, knead, let rise. I went out and picked banana peppers, green pepper, red pepper, fresh basil and some roma tomatoes. I sliced all the peppers so thin, did a chiffonade on the basil and did rounds of roma. The crust spread out on my pizza stone so nice. Then, the Watkins garlic grapeseed oil – just a thin layer – I put all of the veggies on, sprinkled a little freshly grated asiago cheese and some 2% shredded mozzarella – :15 minutes later I had a pizza you would’ve paid $25 for at Pizza Fusion!!! Unbelieveable!

I can’t tell you how glad I am that Watkins is here for us all. Gourmet, affordable and organic. It’s so important to feed your body the fuel it needs.

Have I told you lately that I’ve lost 40 lbs? If that’s not incentive – what is? Follow me people! To good health!
