Sunrider Korea Greets Fall with Herbal Tea Event

 

As outdoor enthusiasts welcomed the beautiful fall foliage that arrived with the season, Sunrider Korea was prepared to add to the seasonal enjoyment by preparing an engaging cho-bon (Korean for “herbal”) tea promotion event. Using picturesque locations frequented by hikers, Sunrider staff set up an impressive booth on two successive weekends that was splashed with autumnal oranges, yellows, and reds, and well stocked with Sunrider® herbal beverages.


 
The first Sunrider® cho-bon event was held November 5–6, at Ne-Jang Mountain in Jun-Buk Province, and the second event was held the following weekend, 12–13, at Buk-Han Mountain, Seoul. During the events, Sunrider staff handed out free samples of Sunrider’s concentrated herbal beverages—Fortune Delight® and Calli®—to all hikers who visited the booth. This provided a great way to let people experience the exceptional quality and healthy, flavorful appeal of these Sunrider classics.


 
Over 8,000 people visited the booth during the first two-day event to sample Sunrider’s signature teas, with over 5,000 people visiting the booth during the next two-day event. These Sunrider events, inspired by the beauty of the fall, proved to be large-scale successes, providing a fun and fitting way to introduce thousands of people to a sampling of Sunrider’s incomparable 
products. 

Tips to Stay Healthy During the Cold and Flu Season

When cold and flu season hits this year, be prepared to protect the health of your family with a proactive approach. Because there is still no cure for cold and flu viruses, preventative action should be your focus. Here are a few simple and easy measures you can employ to bolster your immune system and minimize the risk of getting sick.

Keep Your Hands Clean
Cold and flu viruses are easily spread. People cough or sneeze onto their hands and then contaminate shared objects such as keyboards, phones, and door handles—and the viruses can live on these surfaces for hours! One of the best and easiest ways to combat the spread of sickness is to clean your hands frequently. For on-the-go use, there’s nothing better than Kandesn® Hand Cleansing Gel—slip it into your purse or pocket to enable effective, waterless cleansing wherever you go. And Oi-Lin® Liquid Soap is perfect for daily household use; like our hand cleaning gel, it moisturizes while it cleanses, so your skin won’t be left dry or chapped, just clean, soft, and refreshed. 

 Keep Fit
The best prescription for preventing illness during the cold and flu season is to practice healthy habits. And this includes getting enough exercise. Maintaining a regular exercise program of low-to-high intensity workouts for at least 30 minutes several days a week is recommended to build a strong immune system. Overall fitness helps the body stay healthier and ward off illness, as well as helping you recover more quickly when you do get sick. Sunrider has a wide array of sports and nutritional supplements including Dr. Chen® MetaBooster® and Electrosport® that are designed to supercharge your workout routine and keep you going strong.



 


Drink Plenty of Fluids
Drinking plenty of fluids keeps your body hydrated and can be a good way to take in body-fortifying nutrients. In addition to being delicious “winter warmer” teas, Calli® and Fortune Delight® provide a host of nutrients, including tea catechins, antioxidants, and bioflavonoids. Drinking these concentrated herbal beverages also enhances the body’s natural cleansing process.



Daily Defense
Getting your daily allowance of vitamin C is a good way to support immune system health. Citric C™ Tab contains 125 mg of vitamin C—200% of the daily recommended value. Our Tabs are formulated with a body-boosting blend of natural ingredients, including citrus bioflavonoids, green tea leaf extract, and concentrated rose hips, all known for their antioxidant properties. This chewable supplement is a tasty, convenient way to get your daily vitamin C and support optimal health. And parents, Citric C™ Tabs have a natural orange flavor that kids love!


Get Enough Rest
Not getting enough sleep can tax your immune system, leaving you more vulnerable to cold and flu viruses. Be aware of how many hours of sleep a night your body needs to feel rested and alert, and supplement it with short naps of 15–30 minutes if possible. Our all-natural herbal tea, Calli® Night, makes a soothing beverage to enjoy before bedtime to promote a good night’s sleep. You can also rub some SunBreeze® Oil or Balm on your neck or muscles to help you unwind and relax—it’s a wonderful way to induce a restful, restorative sleep.

Happy Labor Day from Sunrider

What does Labor Day commemorate exactly? According to the U.S. Department of Labor, “Labor Day, the first Monday in September, is a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country."


Today, many Americans celebrate the holiday with a much-welcomed reprieve from work. We often spend this time with friends and family, enjoying leisurely activities such as barbeques, beach trips, and backyard shindigs.
We want to wish all of you a wonderful Labor Day and thanks to all for your hard work and contributions!
Here are a few suggestions to incorporate Sunrider into your Labor Day festivities. Whatever you do, be sure to enjoy it.

Dr. Chen® Secret Sauce is a delicious marinade, dipping sauce, or topping for everything from meats and  vegetables to salads, pasta dishes, and more.

Chilled Fortune Delight® and Calli® are always yummy favorites on hot days to stay hydrated and refreshed.

Slather on a Sunrider® sunscreen like Oi-Lin® Sunmilk SPF 25 to protect your delicate skin against the shining sun’s harmful rays.

Be sure to wash all your fruits and vegetables with
SunSmile® Fruit & Vegetable Rinse. It lets you and your family enjoy cleaner, brighter, and better-tasting produce.

There are plenty of ways you can add Sunrider fun to your holiday, creating a happy and healthy event for all…use your imagination!

Simple Steps for Summer Hydration

The summer season is in full swing, which means hot weather, outdoor activities, and the irresistible urge to play in the sun!

As much fun as warm weather activities are, it’s important to remember that certain health risks come along, too—namely, dehydration. Staying hydrated during the summer is essential, especially when temperatures reach the high 90s or triple digits, and if you’re engaged in vigorous activity.

Quick tips for staying hydrated:

Drink plenty of hydrating liquids, such as water or Fortune Delight®, and don’t wait until you are thirsty!

Keep cool with loose-fitting clothing made from light, cotton materials—tight fitting and dark colors hold heat.

When exercising or playing outdoors in the heat, take regular breaks and drink a beverage like Electrosport®—it contains 10 important minerals, including selenium that quickly helps rehydrate the body, and is exclusively formulated for ideal use after a strenuous workout or other vigorous activity.

Many fruits and vegetables are packed with plenty of hydrating liquids and are great as meals and snack options. Evergreen® is a great option, too, as it combines the nourishing aspects of green, leafy vegetables, with the hydrating power of water! Perfect for keeping your body replenished and hydrated during hot summer weather!

Most importantly, don’t over exert yourself in extreme heat. Eat right, drink plenty of fluids, and listen to your body.

Slim Down Your Summer BBQ

Sunrider offers loads of delicious foods and beverages to help you have slimmer summer barbeques and picnics. Made with natural, herbal ingredients, and owner’s expertise, there’s no time like the present to whip your summer diet into shape with our healthy products.


Need an excuse to get out of the stuffy kitchen? Blame the weather! When it’s hot, no one wants to cook hovered over a hot indoor stove. This is a great excuse to get outside, get active, and bring along seasonal dishes, such as lush green salads, fruit salads, cold soups (mmm, gazpacho), crunchy fresh vegetables (perfect for dipping!), and other easy, healthy dishes.


Don’t let the summer months escape you. Take a trip, plan a party, or simply stock your pantry with these nutritious Sunrider favorites and enjoy the season’s pastimes no matter where you go.


Here are suggestions to get you started!

Bowers Museum Collectors’ Council Tours Chen Art Gallery, Visits Product Fair

Following a tour of the Chen Art Gallery, Bowers Museum Collectors’ Council members were welcomed to a special Product Fair created just for them.

Held in the Healthy Life Store, we demonstrated products from the Oi-Lin® Skin Care Set, Kandesn® Protective Foundation SPF 15, SunSmile® Herbal Toothpaste, and SunBreeze® Balm & Oil! After describing the power of our skin care and cosmetic products, Kandesn® Marketing Manager Julie McLewee had to run and get extra business cards to give to all those who wanted to schedule appointments in the Kandesn® Room!

Delicious VitaShake® Strawberry smoothie samples filled with strawberry and pineapple were doled out, and the amazing cleaning power of our SunSmile® Fruit & Vegetable Rinse was illustrated on waxy broccoli from the grocery store (it emerged gorgeously green!). We also provided FortuneDelight® Peach to sample, which was very well received! Numerous people asked how to purchase the products and mentioned how delicious the FortuneDelight® and VitaShake® smoothies were!

Red, White, and Blue, Whatever Will You Do?

The 4th of July is just two days away—how are you going to celebrate? Whether you have a beloved Independence Day tradition or you want to shake things up a little this year, there’s many fun and interesting ways to honor this important American holiday.

Plan a Family Get-Together
Round up brothers and sisters, moms and dads, nieces and nephews, aunts and uncles, cousins, and in-laws, add a grill, fresh food, a dash of red, white, and blue, and enjoy some quality time with the fam! Cook a delicious and healthy meal on the grill with Dr. Chen® Secret Sauce while the kiddies play and the grown-ups relax and catch-up on life.

Attend a Parade
Everyone loves a good parade, so find one in your area and go! Pack snacks the adults and kids will enjoy like Sunbars and NuPuffs®, bring along water and Sunrider® teas to stay hydrated in the summer sun, don the patriotic stars and stripes and engage in some good ole American fun.

Help a Soldier
Hundreds of thousands of U.S. Troops are stationed overseas, missing the chance to celebrate the holiday with friends and family. You can help them feel more at home by sending a care package! Fill it with Sunrider goodies such as Fortune Delight® and Calli®, VitaShake®, and Sunbreeze® oil! They’ll be happy to receive something that’s good for them from the USA! Anysoldier.com, thecarepackageproject.com, and operationshoebox.com are great resources for this Independence Day project! Do your own research, though, and be creative!

Learn More
It’s easy to forget that the 4th of July is about celebrating America’s independence from Britain, not lake and beach activities, hotdogs and hamburgers, and pool parties. Most of us could stand to learn more about this holiday and the American Revolution. Visit your local library and become more knowledgeable about this extraordinary day in American history. Did you know that most delegates actually signed the Declaration of Independence on July 2? See! Expand your knowledge and visit!
