From Couch Potato to Svelte 78 Year Old

Vitality Found
From Couch Potato to Svelte 78 Year Old




Bill Hughes is a fun loving man, but twenty years ago that part of him seemed to be slipping away. “I felt far older than I should have. ‘Old folk’ ailments were prematurely with me and no fun. I thought maybe at my age it was supposed to be that way—always feel old, uncomfortable, and unhappy. I had no energy, either. I could not get enough sleep; even with a nap before going to bed and sometimes one at noon. And I was a ‘couch-potato’ on weekends.” 


Bill was only 58, but it seemed he’d “hit a wall.” His decreased energy and general ill-feeling was so bad he had to stop working, and he could only walk a few feet before he’d wheeze and pant. He attributed it to his weight gain—over 80 pounds in just over 2.5 years. “I tried to do better—fad ‘du jour’ diets and aids. You know, the ‘latest and greatest.’ After all, the ads suggested they’d work,” Bill said. “Still, I gained. I was hungry all the time, and I was addicted to sugar and craved it—especially ice cream. I thought I was more careful in my diet and habits than most. As some folks say: ‘I eat good.’ After all, I had lettuce on my burgers. We lived and ate as do ‘middle’ Americans.” 


Finally, after a string of appointments with various doctors and specialists to try and diagnose the source of his lethargy, Bill learned about Sunrider. The Philosophy of Regeneration™ immediately made sense to him, so he and his wife quickly bought a three month supply of Sunrider® products: Fortune Delight®, NuPlus®, Quinary®, and SunnyDew®. Bill said, “Most of my symptoms disappeared within six months and quality living returned. The fun-loving guy was back!” 


Expecting to be heavy the rest of his life, Bill’s only goal had been to return to work. So Bill was shocked when he began losing weight!* “Gradually,” he said, “my body shape changed for the better. My skin tightened as the weight came off. Age spots went away. I felt well and looked good. People asked what I was doing. Some wanted to follow my example. And even today, my body shape keeps improving. I remain at my college weight, feel well, and work every day. I have never skipped a meal or felt deprived. Somehow, my body knows what is best. When I provide natural nutrients it takes care of me.”


Today, the Hughes consider themselves “nutsy” about the effectiveness of the Sunrider® products, saying “they’re our first choice for food, vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, protein, fatty acids, oral hygiene, household care, skin care, cosmetics, and more…We have a total Sunrider home—good stuff in every room.”


Bill said, “With regained vitality, we sold our retirement condo and moved to a five bedroom home, where we entertain our family and Sunrider friends in style…It’s wonderful to be 78 and feel 38. Our friends are in their mid-40s and 50s and think we are their age! Living is fun again. We feel well, look good, and are healthy, with money from our Sunrider income to enjoy it!”


*In conjunction with a healthy diet and regular exercise.

Chen Art Gallery Featured in Local News

The April 1, 2010 issue of the Daily Breeze (a daily newspaper serving the South Bay cities of Los Angeles County) featured an article by John Bogert, staff columnist, about his “amazing” personal discovery of the Chen Art Gallery.

What surprised Bogart so much is that such a “glorious place” could be unknown to him, despite being “a guy who has been hanging out in Torrance since the early Qing Dynasty.”

Along with the eye-opening experience of viewing the priceless collection of Chinese art and antiquities housed in the Chen Art Gallery, Bogart discovered a lot about Sunrider International, the company.

A Sunrider Easter

Children love Easter baskets with all the goodies inside, but eating all those candies and chocolates can leave them feeling sick to their stomach. For a fun, healthy alternative, try adding Sunrider® foods and snacks instead of (or in addition to) candies, chocolates, and toys.

Chocolate and Fruit SunBars are great substitutes for candy bars. Chocolate and Apple Cinnamon NuPuffs® also satisfy a sweet tooth without the sugar crash. Little packets of VitaDophilus® (or "apple candy" as my children call them) fit inside plastic eggs, which are perfect for Easter egg hunts. Sunrider has many fun treats to fill an Easter basket and make your child smile!

If you are serving an Easter breakfast, you can try some of the recipes featured in the Newsletters (Harvest Muffins, Ultimate Oatmeal) served with a cold, refreshing glass of Sunrider VitaFruit®. For dinner, Dr. Chen® Secret Sauce Regular is a delicious glaze for an Easter ham or chicken. It's easy to prepare by spreading it over the meat and baking. I also love having a hot cup of Fortune Delight® or Calli® whenever I eat dessert on special occasions. (Taking Tei-Fu™ MetaShaper™ is a given!)

I hope these ideas give you some inspiration to have a happy Sunrider Easter!
