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 AND VITASHAKE – EVERY TIME YOU EAT IT’S AN OPPORTUNITY TO NOURISH YOUR BODY
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.)

Helps relieve joint pains in legs and back, diarrhea, and chronic fever; increases energy.

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.
