Sugar Cravings Sugar Addiction ~ Some say sugar cravings and a sugar addiction is as powerful as a cocaine addiction
Eating sugar ignites your Nucleus Accumbens
Nucleus Accumbens, to put it simply, includes wanting and satisfaction signals.
The Nucleus Accumbens (NAc) is a subcortical brain structure known primarily for its roles in pleasure, reward, and addiction.
As you eat more and more sugar, more dopamine is released and that’s what gets you on the ‘high’; to satisfy and pander to the ‘high’.
Remember that sugar cravings and addiction isn’t just being emotionally reliant on refined foods and sweets. If you are unable to resist sugar, don’t come down on yourself too much because it has nothing really to do with willpower, or you longing to change.
The fact is, your body has become dependent on sugar in the same way that one becomes addicted to cocaine. You believe that removing sugar in your diet is an impossibility – it can be pretty depressing.
Sugar Cravings Sunrider NuPlus
~ Sugar reprograms your brain.
Amazingly, sugar short-circuits the signal to your brain that says you’re full.
So you want to keep eating. And what do you think it programs you to want? Yep – more and more sugar.
Amazing things can happen when you stop eating so much sugar. The good news is that when sugar is no longer manipulating your thoughts, your cravings are gone and the constant snacking quickly disappears.
There is hope for sugar dependency.

Sunrider NuPlus Clean Eating for Health ~ Clean eating is a term that refers to maintaining a diet that is exclusively comprised of whole foods.
When you eat clean your diet is filled with foods eaten in their natural state without added: fats, sugars, high fructose corn syrup, preservatives, artificial flavors, colors, textures or any other chemicals.
Eating clean also means avoiding “fake foods” or those chemically created foods that have no real food in them, Twinkies are one good example, as are Pop Tarts.
October 3, 2024: Diana Walker notes: I have been eating Sunrider NuPlus (which means “Nutrition Plus”) for 28 years. This is Eating Clean. Dr. Tei Fu Chen, Founder of Sunrider, keeps the “whole food” components, so that your body is happy with NuPlus.
So many health benefits! Keeps me young! (The photo below is a recent photo. I’m in my late 70s.)
What Is Processing?
In the times of early man and really before the industrial revolution processed foods did not exist. There were no aisles filled with Twinkies, apple pies or cookies. There were no drive-thrus where one can get French fries, chicken nuggets and chili cheese fries.
All food was obtained from natural sources, like the earth and hunting and the human diet was comprised of meat, fruit and vegetables, all eaten in their natural state, many times cooked over an open flame or an early version of the modern stove or oven which ran on wood.
While some processing is still involved in all foods we eat, unless we stick with a completely 100% raw food diet, for example, cooking is a form of processing or grinding steak into hamburger, that is not the definition of processing we refer to here.
There is an inherent difference between mechanical and chemical processing.
Chemical processing means that food has been altered from its original state and then becomes refined with additives, preservatives and other ingredients that make it “highly processed” and turn a one ingredient food item into a 3, 4 or more ingredient dish.
Refined is another term used for highly processed food.
In summary, any food that is not eaten in its original “whole state” is then processed or refined.
An apple is a whole food, apple pie is not.

Sunrider NuPlus Whole Foods for Energy
~ What are Whole Foods?
Sunrider NuPlus is Nutrient-Dense and is referred to as “Whole Food” even though it comes in packages, because Dr. Tei Fu Chen, Founder of Sunrider International, purposely makes sure to keep the whole food structure intact in Sunrider NuPlus and other herbal plant-based formulas.
Cells require Carbohydrates, Healthy Enzymes, Proteins and Healthy Fats in order to run properly and extend steady levels of Energy to the Body.
Usually, the term whole foods mainly refers to vegetables, fruits, and whole grains, but, protein can be whole as long as it does not include any processing, for example, a plain chicken breast versus chicken nuggets, or grilled fish versus fish sticks.
The term whole foods should not be confused with organic, because while whole foods can be organic, they are not automatically so.
Processing typically removes all the vital nutrients from foods that they had in their original whole state and so they do not contribute to overall health and wellness as they would had they been eaten in their whole state.
A good example of this is white bread, rice, pasta and other refined grain foods. In processing the components of the whole grain that contain its most valuable nutrients, specifically fiber, are eliminated in milling when the bran and the coat of the grain are removed.
Another important distinction is the fact that processing also adds unnecessary ingredients, like sugar and fat.
Whole foods are Nutrient Dense, versus Processed (Refined) foods that are Energy Dense.
What is the difference?
Nutrient dense foods provide vital nutrition the body needs, like vitamins, minerals, fiber and antioxidants without added sugar and fat, while energy dense foods are high in EMPTY CALORIES that provide little or no nutrition.
Ideally a whole food is one ingredient, for example, an apple, chicken breast, baked sweet potato wedges, cucumber, steel cut oatmeal.
While we may cook and combine these ingredients to make a multi ingredient dish, the foods themselves maintain their whole integrity because they are not altered.
Example: A grilled chicken breast eaten with baked sweet potato wedges on the side is a whole food meal, but, a fried chicken breast with a side of French fries is a processed meal.
Another Example: A baked potato is a whole food, potato chips is a processed food.

WHAT BROUGHT YOU TO SUNRIDER?
My friend Trudy brought me into Sunrider in 1996 – Over 26 years ago!
We worked together at the Salmon Arm Hospital in Administration.
At first I was reluctant to try the Sunrider products because I had Naturopathic training in 1980 and had studied herbs and vitamins.
My cupboards were full and I was pretty healthy for a 49-year-old….
1. I finally tried the NuPlus… the next morning I woke up, and my hips felt so flexible, and I hadn’t felt like that for quite some time!
3. Then I tried Beauty Pearl – and my 8-year-old son said
“Mom, you don’t have flames coming out of your head any more” after a couple of weeks of 1 Beauty Pearl daily.
The Sunrider products brought me in.
Then I started sharing with others, and started to receive commissions from Sunrider.
Then I realized that I could earn enough to pay for the products I was growing to LOVE.
Since 1996, I have been paid by Sunrider on the 20th of every month for sharing products I love!
WHAT DO YOU LIKE ABOUT YOUR SUNRIDER BUSINESS?
I love sharing the amazing Sunrider nutritional products with others.
I love meeting new people and helping them live healthy lifestyles.
I love the Community that develops around sharing these life-changing formulas.
I love that it is a Family-owned business, and that I have met the Chens many times – at Sunrider Convention.
I love that Sunrider provided wonderful opportunities to travel and meet other Sunriders from all over the world.
I love that it has helped me earn money to supplement my earnings from the Hospital during those days,
and that I can continue to live a wonderful lifestyle.
WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR BIGGEST MOMENT SO FAR?
I have been honoured 5 times on stage at Sunrider Conventions
I attended over 20 Conventions – in places like Disneyland, California and in Hawaii.
I loved the Sunrider Caribbean Cruise that I went on.
I love meeting and learning from Dr. Tei Fu Chen and Dr. Oi Lin Chen,
and now from Dr. Reuben Chen and Sunny Chen.

SUNRIDER NUPLUS AND VITASHAKE – EVERY TIME YOU EAT IT’S AN OPPORTUNITY TO NOURISH YOUR BODY
Sunrider NuPlus and Vitashake
What better way to get your day started and provide your body with the unique combination of plant-based ingredients than with NuPlus?
Formulated using Sunrider’s unique Philosophy of Regeneration® the NuPlus product is full of naturally derived bioflavonoids, amino acids and antioxidants that provides highly concentrated nutrition in a convenient packet.
With ingredients ranging from the Chinese Yam (known for its energising properties), the Fox Nut (recognised for being high in fibre and providing good sources of protein) and the Lotus root (excellent source of fibre and also aids in circulation) Sunrider NuPlus supports your body’s optimal health.
Available in six great tasting flavours NuPlus is a Nutritional Powerhouse that you and your family can enjoy at any time of the day.
Lotus Root
The Lotus Root is one of the oldest and most widely consumed foods in Asia, and for good reasons. The root contains an abundant amount of vitamins and minerals that favour proper digestion, enhance the immune system, normalize blood pressure and are wonderful for the skin! Due to this, we use the Lotus Root as an ingredient in products such as Sunrider NuPlus and Vitashake and Sunbar.
Soy Beans – Exactly as Nature Intended us to Consume them
How lucky Sunriders are to have NUPLUS and VITASHAKE made with whole soy so that the isoflavones are in the bean exactly as nature intended us to consume them. Nature made your body—nature made the foods to nourish your body. Nature did not make a mistake. When we take nature’s foods and break them apart they are not the same as when they are in their whole state.
Most nutritional powders made with soy, use soy which has been isolated out of the bean. Growers take the good part of the soy bean and use it as feed for animals and sell the byproduct to the health food industry to put in their soy products.
Eaten in its whole state, soy is a benefit in supporting and balancing the hormonal system as well other systems of the body.
Sunrider NuPlus is Non-GMO
Sunrider NuPlus is a formula made from Non-GMO herbal plants, seeds, roots, nuts and fruits which nourish the entire body at a cellular level.
It contains live enzymes, vitamins and minerals, not in isolated forms, but in a whole food form which your body understands and recognizes.
This whole food aspect of NuPlus is why this food is so powerful and you will feel extremely nourished from it, even more than your other meals!
Yellow Bean (Non-GMO Soybean Seed) (Second ingredient in NuPlus)
Delays aging, eases menopause (has good, harmless plant estrogen); beneficial to weight management; fights fatigue; helps regulate blood sugar; strengthens the spleen; lessens indigestion; and lowers harmful LDL cholesterol without affecting beneficial HDL (soy compound genestein helps block formation of fatty plaques, reducing a risk of heart disease). (NOTE: – Dr. Chen does not use indigestible soy protein ISOLATE. – see notes below) Dr. Chen soaks the beans to start the sprouting process, which increases the nutritional benefits of NuPlus. The sprouting process allows more of the enzymes, vitamins and minerals to be digested, plus it eases digestion and helps eliminate excess gas.
Chinese Yam Root
Counters coughing; helps correct hormonal imbalance, helps reduce inflammation; strengthens kidneys, stomach, spleen, lungs, adrenal glands, and reproductive system. (Dr. Chen will use only Chinese Yam since Mexican Yam contains saponin, which is medicinal and can be poisonous Dr. Chen has warned us of this source, telling us that it is a steroid containing cortisone.)
Fox Nut (Euryale Ferox Seed)
Helps relieve joint pains in legs and back, diarrhea, and chronic fever; increases energy.
Lotus Seed (Nelumbo Nucifera Seed)
Nourishes deficient spleen; strengthens heart and circulation; and helps peristalsis.
Lotus Root (Nelumbo Nucifera Root)
Absorbs clots and bruises; stops bleeding; and aids in circulation
Water Lily Bulb (Lilium Brownii)
Benefits poor circulation; helps relieve joint pains, diarrhea, incontinence, thirst, dizziness, restlessness, chronic fever, and stomach disorders; increases energy and systemic balance.
Green Bean Seed (Phaseolus Vulgaris)
Nourishes and strengthens the liver; helps reduce age spots
Red Bean Seed (Phaseolus Vulgaris)
Nourishes and strengthens the heart.
Black Bean Seed (Phaseolus Vulgaris)
Nourishes and strengthens the kidneys, reproductive system, and immune system.
White Bean Seed (Phaseolus Vulgaris)
Nourishes and strengthens the kidneys and immune system; strengthens the pancreas; and helps to eliminate mucous.
Imperata Root
Is highly nourishing; anti-inflammatory; anti-viral
NuPlus has a strong regenerating effect on the adrenals, reproductive glands, liver, pancreas, kidneys and nervous system. It helps build lean muscle tissue, improves fat metabolism and greatly increases stamina and energy. One NuPlus is more nutrition than most people get in a day.
NuPlus is readily assimilated by everyone, no matter their health condition or age. When we eat foods, we have to grind it, digest it, break it down and then hope the body assimilates it. Just because we eat something doesn’t mean our body assimilates it! It’s true that it’s not what we eat, but what we assimilate that counts.
It would be my joy and pleasure to help you get started on these wonderful and delicious plant-based whole foods here:
