Montel Williams Asks What You Did Today of Value




Montel Williams, famous television host, challenged the crowd with, "What three things did you do today that are worth talking about tomorrow?"

He was speaking at the first Health and Happiness Summit in New York, hosted by Dr. Mehmet Oz and sponsored by USANA Health Sciences.

That's a challenging question both personally and from a business perspective.

On the personal side, I spent precious time on a walk with my daughter Marcie and grandson Jayden.  Then we went shopping for an outdoor splash pool to enjoy over the summer in the back yard.   That is definitely worth talking about.

For business, I booked some appointments, left messages, sent out e-mails, all pretty ordinary.  The exceptional part was sending the final copy and photos for our second book to the publisher, a task that grew to be larger than anticipated.


Tonight, I'll tune into a webinar on social media, a topic that often confuses me as things continually evolve and change.


What three things did you do today that are worth talking about tomorrow!

Do What Energizes You Today! Have You Had Your Nutrimeal Shake Yet?


What gives you energy for the day?  A run, a nutritional shake or bar, an apple, meditation and prayer?  Whatever or whoever it is, make it a priority for power packed results.

Thousands of enthusiastic runners surged past our home for the city's Half Marathon last week.  I had run a 10K two weeks prior, so seeing these people of all ages going even further, was so impressive.  It gave me energy to witness their drive and to cheer them on.

Blake Wood, my personal trainer, seen here in black, transfers his energy and positive attitude to me at the gym.  His running partner, Ian Rabb, in white, always brightens my day there too, with his bright smile, ready laugh and total dedication to achieving his fitness goals.

For sustained energy, I start my day with a USANA Nutrimeal drink, filled with fresh fruit, plus the Health Pack vitamins.  

Think about what gives you energy...and the people who brighten your thoughts.  How can you bring hope and energy to someone else today?

Vitamin D Essentail for All Ages, says Dr. Christine Wood


Vitamin D is vitally important for babies, children, teens and adults, says Dr. Christine Wood, MD and pediatrician, speaking at the Achieving New Heights event in Winnipeg, June 13, 2012.


In fact, there is a 26% increase in mortality for those with low vitamin D levels.  

Dr. Wood noted that most people in the Northern Hemisphere need to supplement their food intake with vitamin D since exposure to the sun for the vitamin is not as often or intense.

She noted that vitamin D when breastfeeding is very important, since the babies who are low in the vitamin are more likely to experience food allergies.  It's interesting also, that children develop their food preferences by ages two and three, so they need to be exposed to a variety of foods early on.


Dr. Wood doesn't talk about "good" or "bad" foods, but rather, "growing"foods or "energy"foods etc. to encourage children to choose their foods wisely.


Dr. Wood is a frequent guest on national radio and television shows in the U.S. and is a member of the USANA Scientific Advisory Board.  She is the author of How to Get Kids to Eat Great and love it"  available through her website: www.kidseatgreat.com   Visit her site for excellent information on nutrition for children.
