SR Teen Chooses New Path, Better Health
Alex Eastburn was only eight years old when her parents began using Sunrider® products, but she wasn’t exactly thrilled with it. To be exact, Alex said she “hated it.” Her mother, Lorraine Eastburn, a Group Business Leader from Phoenix, Arizona, had also changed the family’s diet to “all natural and organic.”
Alex, like many children in today’s society, was used to lunches filled with sodas, sweets, and salty snacks—foods that contribute to weight gain and a plethora of other health ailments. But rather than face the shame of her healthy lunches, Alex continued eating poorly at school. “I was embarrassed because my lunches were so different from the other kids’. I continued to eat at school, and bought cookies, sodas, etc. when I could. I over ate, had no energy, slept a lot, and didn’t like to exercise,” Alex said. She was on track to become overweight and have poor health, a common situation for many children and teenagers in America.
At home, Alex ate Sunrider® products sparingly, and even though Lorraine made healthy meals for the family, Alex always wanted more helpings and craved junk food. It wasn’t until starting high school that Alex realized she wanted to change her appearance and boost her self-esteem. “I asked my mom to start making me VitaShake® every morning, lots of Fortune Delight®, Sunbars, and whole organic food. I also took Vitalite® Slim Caps™…Within two months I lost 15 lbs.* All of my food cravings went away. My whole life changed completely.”
Today, Alex is a happy and healthy 18-year old. She follows a strict regimen of healthy foods and Sunrider® products, including Calli®, Citric C™ Tab, Fortune Delight®, Quinary®, Spirulina, VitaShake®, Vitalite® Fibertone®, and Vitalite® Slim Caps™. Thanks to Sunrider® products, a very healthy diet, and exercise, Alex lost six inches in her waist, looks great, and feels better about herself.* Most of all, she’s changed her path and can make healthy choices even after she leaves home. “I feel so much more balanced and together than most of the teens I know. Now, I have more energy and a drive for success,” she said.
This year, as a graduating senior, Alex was voted “The Most Changed” with a before and after picture in the yearbook. And Alex’s friends actually come to her for suggestions about getting healthy. “I spent all of my high school years in the Sunrider lifestyle. Now,” she says, “I am proud of what’s in my lunch box.”
