Alkaline Ash and Acidic Ash FoodsSeptember 17, 2008
The regenerative table foods we eat can help us keep the pH of our bodies in balance, which is vital for regeneration to take place. Imbalance leads to the development of virus, yeast, fungus, mold and parasites which leads to a diseased, degenerating body.

Our body is about 20% acidic and 80% alkaline; therefore it is recommended that we consume approximately 20% acidic foods and 80% alkaline foods.

Sunrider foods are alkaline, so I feel eating them everyday will help keep our body’s pH more alkaline and therefore in balance.

But, it is really important what other foods we are eating. I want to share a chart that I have found, ranking from the most alkaline to the most acidic.

I avoid the extremely acidic foods as much as possible. I try to eat mainly alkaline food. I really appreciate the Sunrider foods, because I know I am getting the best food possible for my body.

I hope you will take a closer look at the Sunrider foods. To learn more about Sunrider products and the company please go to my website

Nature’s Green Magic…ChlorophyllSeptember 11, 2008
Chlorophyll is the “blood of plant life.” It is the life force of plants and contains life-giving nutrients that are easily assimilated by the human body.

Evergreen….Sunrider’s highly concentrated Chlorophyll

The highly concentrated chlorophyll in Evergreen addresses the body’s circulatory and digestive systems. Evergreen is exclusively formulated herbal concentrated with owner expertise and based on the Philosophy of Regeneration: to maintain optimum health through proper nutrition and keeping the body balanced.

If you were to consume green, leafy vegetable in order to achieve the effect of one bottle of Evergreen; you would need to eat a tremendous amount, hardly possible in a regular meal. All natural, Evergreen does not contain artificial sweeteners, colors or preservatives.

Sunrider’s Evergreen works faster than any other Chlorophyll on the market because of its special oil absorption formula created by Dr. Chen.

I absolutely love Evergreen. I add a vial of Evergreen to my morning Sunrider smoothie! It has a wonderful minty flavor and I love the way it makes me feel. I have more energy and less “gas” and fresher breath. I highly recommend Evergreen to all of my family and you!

REGENERATION: THE PROCESS OF PURIFICATIONSeptember 11, 2008

All cure starts from within then moving outward, from the head down and
In reverse order as the symptoms have appeared. – HERING’S LAW OF CURE
Food for Body
In order to overcome sickness and achieve vitality, superior health, higher energy levels and longevity, we must begin eating Nutrient Dense Foods. These are whole foods that are never the result of the processing activity. These foods are in the raw state and are electromagnetically charged with a “life force” that is separate and distinct from the caloric energy that is released from food by digestion, enzymatic action and assimilation. We must be eating whole, natural, and enzyme active foods that have not been refined, processed, overcooked or preserved with chemicals. These actions, plus micro-waving and the new problem of food irradiation with Cobalt-60 and Cesium 137, render conventional foods lifeless and devoid of any enzyme activity.
Gabriel Cousins, MD stated:
All life processes depend on enzyme function. When enzymes are depleted, so is our vital force and health. Another physician, Yoshihide Hagiwara, MD stated: Enzymes are involved in moving our hands and legs, and even in the process of thinking. If enzymes were lost, all the functions of our body would fail.

Wouldn’t it be better to seek health as a part of your lifestyle? We basically have two choices. We can pay now for higher quality food or we can pay a whole lot more later (in money and misery) just by trying to stay alive.
If we continue to eat food in its unnatural state, we will deplete our body’s supply of enzymes, which will result in the degeneration of our genetically weaker glands and organs.
SUNRIDER IS 100% REAL LIVE FOOD!!
No preservatives No added Sugar
No pesticides No chemical additives
Your body will feel the difference!
Something remarkable starts to happen when you improve the quality of foods you eat –
Your body starts discarding GARBAGE such as:
• Sludge in the arteries, veins and capillaries
• Excess bile in the liver and gallbladder
• Toxic mucous in the digestive tract
• Masses that have been longstanding
• Arthritic food preservatives and additives
• Masses of fat and toxic laden mucous
• Stagnant & polluted water in the cells suspending the toxins
• Poisons and harmful drugs, sleeping pills, aspirin
• Accumulated & impacted mucous in the colon
• Yeast, fungi and parasites
• Degenerating and dead cells
• Unassimilated food components (especially fats and proteins)
• Inorganic minerals, heavy metals, pesticides
• Environmental pollution such as chlorine, carbon dioxide, nicotine build up in the lungs
• Antibiotics and other substances built up in individual cells interfering with normal function
ENERGY
Eating Sunrider’s whole, live concentrated herbal foods gives the body the ENERGY to do major “housecleaning” which it is designed to do naturally, but couldn’t do because it didn’t have the ENERGY to do it thoroughly.
ESSENTIALS
Ridding the body of this garbage is absolutely essential in order to rebuild healthy cells and ultimately a healthy body. Realize that your body is becoming younger and healthier every day because you are throwing off more and more wastes which would eventually have brought pain, disease and much suffering.
Be encouraged if you are having cleansing signs!
What are Cleansing Signs?
When detoxification and elimination functions are working properly, the person is not aware that cleansing is taking place. This occurs when the LIVER, KIDNEY and COLON are strong and well supported nutritionally; when the person is EXERCISING ADEQUATELY, and when ENOUGH FLUID is being used to move toxic materials along quickly. However, when these conditions are not met, cleansing signs may be experienced. When the body’s eliminative capability is overloaded, one can experience such discomforts as:
nausea
frequent urination
constipation or diarrhea
old or new aches and pains
sores or bad taste in the mouth
depression and irritability
skin breakouts and itching
fatigue
headaches
colds and fevers
excessive perspiration and body odor
Early Signs of Healing & Regeneration
This process of regeneration is exciting as we look at some of the early signs of healing. You may experience some of these benefits right away while waiting for others to occur in your process of regeneration:
more positive thoughts
waking up more rested and less need for daytime naps
clearer thinking and a better ability to make decisions
better able to handle stress, more patient, and more tolerant of others
more courageous to try new things
eyes clearer
allergy relief
PMS relief
skin tone evening out
fuller, shinier hair
stronger nails
better digestion and elimination
“craving” healthier foods
losing inches even before pounds
natural slenderness, decreased cellulite
better memory, less need to take notes, and easier learning

I can say from my own experiences with Sunrider foods, that I looked forward with anticipation to the healing signs and regeneration as I daily consumed Sunrider foods and beverages!

I did experience some “cleansing” and I was excited, because I knew that my body was getting healthier by getting rid of all the toxins that were stored in my body.



I urge you to try Sunrider foods and see for yourself what superior nutrition can do for you!

Sunrider has Eco-friendly Cleaning Products!September 3, 2008



High Protein-Low Carbohydrate Diets:

· Where people have failed to lose weight on processed low-fat foods, they often have turned to high protein/low carbohydrate diets. They’re trading their health for temporary weight loss. It is very dangerous!
· Too much intake of protein in a lifestyle causes
Increased dangerous cholesterol levels.
Calcium to be excreted from the bones leading to osteoporosis.
Kidney stress and stones.
Dehydration, constipation, varicose veins, hemorrohoids and hiatal hernia.
· Our body is designed to be fueled by glucose (complex carbs—fruits, grains, vegetables)—the fuel for the brain function, red blood cells and kidney.
· Our body is designed so it can use & convert high-amino acid foods (legumes, vegetables, nuts, & seeds) into protein.

Just a personal note here: I was on the high protein/low carbohydrates diet for over a year. I lost 35 pounds, but my health paid the price! I was already starting to have some major health issues before I started it, but after I changed my eating habits to mostly meat and high protein foods, my health took a big dive! I realize now my body was starving for good nutrition. My body was so out of balance that it is no wonder that I ended up so sick! At that point, I decided I needed better nutrition, and started eating what I thought was eating healthy…but, I not only gained back the 35 pounds, but added another 10.
Then once I found Sunrider Foods and started eating a “Balanced” diet my health did a huge turn for the better. I now am living proof of how wonderful it is to have a “Healthy, balanced” body. I started eating Sunrider foods for better health, but in the process, lost 4 pant sizes! I am thankful everyday that I found Sunrider foods when I did. I truly don’t know if I would still be here right now if I hadn’t!

What about carbohydrates?

· Carbohydrates fall into two categories: simple (processed) and complex (from nature). We have simple carbohydrate addition in America, due mainly to our primary use of fast, processed foods. The continuous eating of simple, refined carbohydrates results in growing weight gain.
· Complex carbohydrates, on the other hand, in their whole food state, are the foods intended for our primary source of fuel—for mental function, to have body energy, and to burn fat.
· Did you know that the Chinese consume 20% more calories than Americans, yet Americans are 25% fatter? The main difference is that the Chinese eat more complex carbohydrates—foods you can go pick from the garden—fruit, vegetables, and legumes.

Fiber is important:

· Fiber binds with fat & cholesterol lowering the risk of heart disease and obesity.
· Fiber binds with carcinogens lowering the risk of cancer.
· Fiber is carried out thru the feces.
· Fiber helps sustain blood sugar!
· Most Americans eat 1/3 of the recommended amount: RDA of 25-35 grams.
· 3 delicious Sunrider’s meal-replacement Vitalite SunBars will meet all the RDA/day!

Would you like a Healthy Weight for Life? (Part I)August 19, 2008

Sunrider Foods are for people who want to gain their

Health, Vitality, and Beauty!

· Without dieting!
· Without Starving!
· Without Calorie Counting!
· Without Stimulants!
· Without negative side effects!



No famine here! Just wonderful food!

· Sunrider foods are whole, energy-packed, concentrated convenient herbal foods.
· Foods that Nourish, Balance, & Cleanse the body.
· When the body is healthy enough, it will let go of fat naturally.



Healthy weight for life!

Sunrider is for people who

· Want to regenerate their bodies.
· Want to feel & look their best!

Are you one of those people?


Regenerating Body
· We are the ultimate masterpiece of creation with bodies designed to heal themselves and maintain health!

· Look what happens what happens when you cut your finger…healing is a miracle happening before our eyes! This is regeneration!
· Unfortunately most of us have been going down a fast path of degeneration where we age before our time, we succumb to degenerative diseases, and we lose our youthful physiques.
· Why? Because of the choices we have made and the degenerating-toxic world that we live in.


The Philosophy of Regeneration:

This is the fundamental philosophy behind all of Sunrider’s foods and products.

· Sunrider believes that when the body is given enough of the proper combination of “Whole foods” that are “Enzymatically Live,” All the cells of the body can regenerate and keep the organs healthy.
· All Sunrider products are consistent with this philosophy…
“Life replenishing Life!” Sunrider’s weight management foods are always safe and regenerative, rather than forcing a change or substituting for weakness.
· Sunrider foods and products are truly a gift for our generation where hardly a home is without some health challenge!
·

When there’s an Energy Crisis going on in our bodies…

· The energy is being used for critical life support and little energy is left for weight management.
· This means our body will be thrown out of balance!
· Then we start having poor digestion and elimination.
· Ultimately this results in overweight and underweight.
· Let’s end the crisis! Let’s give the body enough energy through proper nourishment! Let’s improve the fuel supply!


Sunrider is all about bringing BALANCE to the body rather than TREATING “Over or under” weight.

· We create balance by adjusting the quality of food we eat to produce enough energy in our body to create a condition called health!
· In its balanced state, the body is self-regulating and self-repairing, thus helping you lose/gain and maintain your best weight naturally.

Permanent weight management happens when the body comes into balance!

· A body will start to let go of excess debris as it feels safe to do so!
· A healthy body does not store excess fat!


We use Sunrider’s Chinese Herbal Foods as part of our daily menu.
These are non-toxic “food grade” herbs also identified as “superior” herbs.

· They produce enduring beneficial effects with no decline in health and vitality, as do toxic drugs medicinal herbs.
· They do not conflict with medicines.
· They give high quality fuel to the body!
· They help us lose weight naturally!


Our Goal: Lean & Healthy!

· Without stimulants
· Without starving
· Without negative side effects
· And without calorie counting!

You want to be able to say… “I don’t care how much I weigh as long as I am losing inches!” Why? With Sunrider you will lose inches before pounds! Fat is replaced by muscle which weighs more than fat!

Fat vs. Lean Muscle:

· We want to make sure we are losing stubborn fat and not precious lean muscle!
· Important Question is not “What is my weight?” but rather “What is the % of body fat?” The ratio of lean body mass (muscle, bone, organs) to fat (essential & non-essential)? % Fat vs. # pounds!
· Example: 2 women- both 125 lbs., both 5’ 5”, 1st is 30% fat, 2nd is 18% fat.
The 30% fat – greater risk of many chronic diseases. 18% fat – More energy, vitality, no jiggles when she waves. Fits into smaller size – muscle takes up less space, better shape. Lean muscle helps maintain a high metabolism.
· If you drop a dress size, but the scales say you are the same, it means you have lost fat and increased lean mass. Losing fat & gaining muscle—that’s exciting!
· You want to keep your lean mass because your lean muscle is what helps maintain a good metabolism rate.
· When you lose lean muscle you reduce metabolism, have less energy, and do not have energy for routine activities.
· Goal: Increase Lean Mass=increased metabolism, energy, vitality, strength, and ultimately healthy weight for life!
Since this is such a great topic and I have a lot of information to share, I will continue in the next post.

Soy…The Good…The Bad!August 1, 2008
I would like to address an issue that questions are arising about.
There is a lot of research being done on the use of soy and the findings of the
research are that it has many negative aspects and that we in the United States
are using too much. The research is published on several websites.

I wish to clarify some of the points regarding the use of the whole soybean in Sunrider’s
NuPlus formulas.

1. Sunrider has always taught (from day ONE) that “soy protein isolate” is not
a food and is a dangerous substance to the body. Whether it is in baby formula,
diet drinks, or health drinks in the can for seniors, it is not good, and we do not
use it…not ever!

As mentioned in the research, theAsian’s fermented their soy to make it usable
by the body and to destroy the enzymes that are dangerous and/or indigestible.

2. Dr. Chen has always told us he soaks ferments and germinates the soybean.
He “just happens to be Chinese”! He has recipes from ancient manuscripts.

3. OurNuPlus formula is “enzyme rich” because we do more than just soybeans.
We ENHANCE and BALANCE them with other foods, which of course is unique to
Sunrider. We have never had a “soy only” product. Soy has a lot of enzymes that
other grains do not have, and wisdom is needed in preparing correctly. It always needs
to be fermented.

Dr. Chen has told us “no blanket statement or one way covers everything” pertaining
to GOOD AND BAD in food. There are good points and bad points in all foods…that
is why he balances foods so that good is able to over-power any negative effects. Sunrider
individualizes and specializes. We are so fortunate to have Dr. Chen with his wisdom
of plants and how to prepare and formulate, as well as grow and cultivate them.


I don’t eat any soy product….except the soy Dr. Chen prepares correctly for his products. Soy sauce most often has MSG (monosodium glutimate) in it, plus high sodium. Soy not prepared correctly can suppress the immune system as it has to try to get rid of anything that isn’t digestible or natural. Most American companies just grind up soy beans or just soak it, but Dr. Chen uses a fermentation method to kill an enzyme that could affect the immune system.


Personally , I like Almond Milk. Others are using Rice Milk. You can ask the
company you buy from how they prepare their soy products. But it would be
good not to over-do on any soy milk, yogurt or tofu.

You can enjoy eating our wonderfulNUPLUS andVITASHAKE with assurance
that it is a safe product! I’ve been eating it for over 5 years and seeing all ages
from babies to the elderly consume it and enjoy a continued measure of good
health!!

Building a Nutritional Foundation!June 29, 2008

Sunrider products are different than most nutritional supplements because they are concentrated plant food formulations that combine 5000 years of Chinese herbal research and health principles with Western medical knowledge.

The Sunrider Philosophy of Regeneration: When nourished and cleansed with the proper combination of foods, the body can balance itself.

The ancient Chinese believed that all disease was from malnutrition. Isolated chemical supplements and medicinal herbs can cause weakness and imbalance in the body, while Sunrider herb food concentrates encourage harmony and balance. Sunrider food grade formulas are based on an ancient approach to health that pre-dates modern Chinese medicine.

When the cells have the fuel to regenerate, the human body can begin the process of healing naturally.

Take a closer look at Sunrider for your health and your future!


Sunrider’s Basic Foods….




NBC…Nourish, Balance, Cleanse


NOURISH

NuPlus—Sunrider’s most basic concentrated herbal food product and serves as the foundation on which to build a healthy diet and to fill in nutritional gaps.

NuPlus is a balanced blend of complex carbohydrates that combine concentrated herbs with soybeans, other legumes and natural freeze-dried fruit. This unique formulation contains naturally occurring bioflavonoid, antioxidants, amino acids and other beneficial phytochemicals. The all natural, superior ingredients avoid chemical isolates, preservatives, added sweeteners and fat. NuPlus is naturally low in fat and cholesterol, which makes it a smart choice to consume in between meals and at any time throughout the day.

Sunny Dew—Stevia is a remarkable herb that helps maintain normal blood sugar levels and is an excellent dietary supplement. Sunny Dew contains stevia that undergoes a unique purifying and concentration process that preserves the natural structure found in its whole food form. All-natural and clear, Sunny Dew can enhance your food and beverages.

Eat lots by drops in all your Sunrider beverages, smoothies, salads, and baking!

Balance

Quinary—50 foods that nourishes the 5 life support systems of the body—Immune, Respiratory, Circulatory, Digestive, and Endocrine (Glands)—These foods are very carefully selected to bring life and healing to the systems rather than just treating a symptom. Combined to bring working balance between the systems.

Cleanse

Calli—is an all-natural alternative to beverages with added sugar and chemicals. It contains antioxidants to protect the body from free radicals, and the unique herbal extracts in the formula assist in the body’s natural cleansing process.

Calli is very alkaline. When the body is alkaline, impurities are less likely to be absorbed or retained.

We enjoy drinking throughout the day without stimulation of caffeinated beverages.
Wonderfully refreshing!

Fortune Delight—Full of natural antioxidants that help the body fight free radicals which can damage cells, particularly as we age, this delightful herbal beverage harmonizes with the body’s natural cleansing process to help refresh and rejuvenate body and spirit! It naturally contains no fat, cholesterol or artificial sweeteners.

What a delicious, refreshing, instant beverage! Drink alone or add to your Calli. Great replacement for sodas, juices and caffeinated beverages.

In a nutshell:

Drink at least 8 cups of Calli and Fortune Delight throughout the day adding Sunny Dew for extra nourishment.
Blend NuPlus, Quinary and Sunny Dew into a Smoothie with fruit.
Or simply make a “Meal in a Mug”. Just put all of the above basic Sunrider foods together in a glass and enjoy!

It is so simple to fix, eat, and enjoy—
yet so effective!
