You + Nuplus

You’ve seen it, as have I: the busy executive, mom, teenager, child who has a slump day. Meaning, the energy level is just not where it could be and the day is full of things to do.

Nuplus is a powder form of highly concentrated nutritional food. In one scoop you get a variety of nutrients and it’s as easy as pouring the powder into water or juice and drinking it.

Nuplus is a staple. A food that nourishes the entire body. When I first started eating Nuplus, I noticed a shift in my overall wellbeing. It seems to smooth out the dips and give a lasting nutritional boost to the day.

Sunriders Nuplus Regular (Bulk, 500g) $114.30, at 1 scoop day lasts approx 1 month

Sunrider's Nuplus Regular (Bulk, 500g) $114.30, at 1 scoop day lasts approx 1 month

Since Nuplus is pre-digested, it’s even good for people who have weaker digestion or are not eating solids. The Regular Nuplus is especially good for this group, as it contains no soy. However, the Simply Herbs Nuplus packs a powerful punch with soy, but only the soy that’s good for the body – not the isolated soy protein.

There are a variety of ways to incorporate Nuplus into your daily eating:

  • Eat 1 scoop or packet in the morning with Sunrider’s Calli Tea, Fortune Delight Tea, water or juice
  • Add 1 scoop or packet to a smoothie to provide extra nutrition
  • Enjoy 1 scoop or packet, 3 times a day 20 to 30 minutes prior to your meal

Whether you are young or older, strong or weak, Nuplus has the ability to feed your body. Nuplus comes in a variety of flavors including Apple Cinnamon, Pina Banana, Mixed Berry, Regular and Simply Herbs (with beans, including soy)

Sunbreeze Oil & Balm is the “Balm” hahaha

Yes, that cheesy joke is the result of an early morning post.

The beautiful sun is rising. In honor of today’s post, I’ve just taken a nice long breather of my bottle of Sunbreeze Essential Oil and applied a drop to my neck. Effective and releasing.

Sunbreeze is amazing. It’s not like what you buy at the store – at least not like something I’ve purchased at the store and I’ve spent a lot of time at health food stores, including working at one in the healthy living section.

Sunbreeze Balm & Oil $72.20 for a box of 6

Sunbreeze Balm & Oil $72.20 for a box of 6

This little vial & balm of goodness, with so many benefits, travels well. Whether you are going on a trip or through a routine day, the uses of Sunbreeze are limitless. Nonetheless, here are a few uses with how I use Sunbreeze and how I’ve heard others using it:

  • Sore muscles – big and small
  • Stress relief
  • tooth ache
  • pain relief (headaches, etc…)
  • massage (small amount goes a long way)
  • foot massage

And so much more… Overall, Sunbreeze is great for increasing circulation to an area using a topical method (read: rubbing something on the skin).

The Friendly Bacteria Meets The Big Apple

If you’ve ever taken medicine or had your GI system “off” hopefully you’re familiar with the “friendly” (aka: good) bacteria. Within our digestive system there lives different bacteria. This friendly bacteria can be wiped out, along with the bad, when we take prescription drugs. For this reason, today you’ll often hear people say that it’s good to eat yogurt when you take medicine or to get your digestive system better balanced.

There’s a product Sunrider makes called Vitadophilus which contains good bacteria within apple pectin (hence the attempt at a the clever title). The choice to utilize apple pectin is quite brilliant really because apple pectin is not broken down the same by the stomach acids as a lot of foods so this helps the good bacteria get to where it needs to go - into your digestive system.

Sunriders Vitadophilus (Mmmm - with apple pectin) $14.90 for a box of 10 packets

Sunrider's Vitadophilus (Mmmm - with apple pectin) $14.90 for a box of 10 packets

When I eat this, I like to enjoy a packet in the morning. If I need more, I’ll enjoy a few packets throughout the day. You can order Vitadophilus through Completeself. Here is Vitadophilus in Sunrider’s words:

VitaDophilus®

VitaDophilus® supplement supplies a minimum of 20 million live culture bacteria to the body. This beneficial bacteria inbeds itself in the walls of the intestines.* Delicious apples form the base of our VitaDophilus® powder.

Naturally occurring lactobacillus acidophilus in the digestive tract helps break down food, so the body can efficiently absorb the nutrients.* The presence of this beneficial bacteria in the digestive system can help displace or decrease non-beneficial micro-organisms, some of which can lead to fermentation, thereby causing bloating and gas, or rob the body of necessary nutrients.* VitaDophilus® helps the body maintain proper digestion.*

Calm Down With Ese Tea

Whether you are a Type A personality or feel just plain restless, Sunrider’s Ese is about to be your friend.

Sunriders Ese - 100 capsules
Sunrider’s Ese – 100 capsules $86.60

 Sunrider’s Ese was one of the first products that changed my life for the better. This Chinese herbal formula is designed to nourish you, helping you maintain clarity and focus. Ese provides much needed support for everyday use which the benefits of can be felt pretty quickly but has a much more lasting impact on your health and overall feeling of wellbeing. Eating (or drinking) Ese ultimately seems to help make life “easier”. :O)

If you are a naturally sensitive person, or intuitive, I find this is a great support as it provides a good daily dose of love to your body.
 
As far as how much, the bottle tells you to take 2 capsules with meals. I suggest you open up the capsules into hot water – what I call “Ese Tea”, to drink the herbal mix with your meal. Sunrider has a great Ese description on their website.
 
One thing to note: you may wish to do this outdoors or in an area where people are not since the smell is quite strong. To this note, if you’re sensitive to smell and taste, you’ll want to also purchase Sunrider’s Sunnydew with your Ese. 
 
Sunrider Sunnydew - 1 bottle $26.40
Sunrider Sunnydew – 1 bottle $26.40

In addition to making your Ese Tea taste better, Sunnydew has tremendous therapeautic value as it’s main ingredient is Stevia which provides several benefits for the body.

To order Sunrider’s Ese and/or Sunrider’s Sunnydew from CompleteSelf, simply call us at 512-891-7667  (leave a message) or email us at info@completeself.com.

Sunrider Conco – Nourish the Respiratory System!

If you are looking for a concentrated herbal food to nourish your respiratory system, I recommend Sunrider’s Conco. You can take it as capsules (how it comes) or open it up and pour the capsule contents into hot water (if you don’t mind -or even like!- the taste of herbal foods).

Sunrider Chinese herbal foods are just foods – not medicine. So if you can eat salads and fruits, you can eat these herbs. They are effective at nourishing the body. Enjoy this video showing you the Conco product.

If you’d like to order, visit our website where you can learn about how to order Sunrider’s Conco formula.

UPDATE: LOL — not sure what happened with the video’s audio but enjoy a good giggle, compliments of CompleteSelf.com

Food to Boost Your Body At the End of a Busy Day

A busy day can be stressful or exciting – depending on how you feel about it. Either way, there are Chinese herbal foods you can eat daily to give your body a boost at the end of a long day!

Sunrider Alpha 20C and Ese are both highly nourishing foods that can be a great support for the end of the day.

Overcoming Anxiety

A lot of people are stressing out these days. When I was in college, I went through a pretty stressful time and had a time where I was experiencing a lot of anxiety. Today I found myself in front of the very classroom where I first experienced that and remembered a promise I had made: one day I will help others overcome anxiety.

So here I am and here you are. I’m not a professional therapist (although I do have some graduate training and a Bachelors in Psychology). I’m also not a nutritionist (although I am certified in dietary guidance counseling). However, I am someone who has spent a lot of time learning about the body through experience and reading. So take or leave my suggestions based on your instinct. What I CAN tell you is that I know what I’m talking about, I am very knowledgeable and it’s well worth listening to what I share IF it resonates with you.

Stress comes in all different levels, from “my day was too busy” to “I think I’m dying and oh my gosh, I feel panicky and my mind won’t stop racing”. Speaking of, a lot of people don’t know what an anxiety attack is. If you’ve ever experienced that overwhelming feeling of anxiousness where everything inside feels panicky, chances are you had an anxiety attack. I actually desire to spend very little time describing it because there’s a lot of information you can probably find online AND we’re here to talk about solutions.

First thing’s first: you need to make a change. Chances are something in your life is not currently working for you so you’re giving yourself a big slap in the face. In fact, you’re so stressed out that I’m guessing your body is depleted on key nutrients — like the B vitamins but I’m not going to tell you to go eat B Vitamins.

What I am going to suggest is that you:

1. cut out caffeine, alcohol and excess sugar consumption — this doesn’t have to be forever but for right now, you don’t need this stuff — it will only be taxing on your adrenals and exacerbate the problem…you need to build up the body and get grounded right now so move away from these stimulating foods

2. If you’re eating a lot of junk food, cut it out — you need to make healthy choices like eating more grains (rice, quinoa, millet), lentils, nuts, veggies and fruits (try eating your fruits mainly in the morning) and fish. If you eat meat, try occasionally eating some organic red meat for more B12 — you’ll know if this will benefit you because you will crave it and you’ll feel a difference from eating it. Visit our site to learn more about creating a healthy eating plan.

3. Go on walks — do exercise and activities that help ground you

walk in nature

walk in nature

4. Spend time in nature — the pace of nature is healing, go sit in nature and breathe

5. THIS IS KEY! Breathe — often times holding the breath is part of what keeps the body in “flight or fight” mode during an anxiety attack so if you get in your head or have an attack, deep breathe by breathing in to a count of 10 and breathing out to a count of 10…if that seems too long, start with counts of 5 and work your way up. The key is to slow down your breathing. It’s physiologically impossible for your body to stay in flight or flight mode for long if you continue to do this deep breathing as it will help relax everything.

6. Eat the following Sunrider foods daily: Nuplus (choose the kind that works for you — suggest you try starting with Regular Nuplus and then trying flavors), Quinary (nourishes the major organ systems in the body), Fortune Delight (nourishes the cleansing systems) and Sunnydew (nourishes the pancreas, blood-sugar) AND — this is KEY also — Top, Joi and Ese. See our website to learn more about Top, Joi and Ese

These are just a few things to know to help get you through anxiety attacks. If you have comments or questions, let me know and I’ll share what I can. I also think that nourishing your spirit is good.

If you have anxiety attacks, chances are you are sensitive to your environment — meaning you are an intuitive person. I suggest you consider the resources from the Midwest Center for Stress. Also, check out Sonia Choquette’s books and information since her mission is to teach people how to lead an intuitive life.

How to Prepare Sunrider Foods and Beverages

Sunrider’s Fibertone

If you are looking for a good source of fiber, Sunrider’s Fibertone is an amazing source of Fiber. By including it in your daily diet, you are able to ensure your body is receiving adequate fiber which is essential for health.

According to EHealthMD, Fiber serves a key role in the digestion process:

  • Fiber helps prevent obesity by slowing down the eating process as well as helps contribute to a feeling of being full and making food more satisfying.
  • Fiber slows digestion and absorption so that glucose (sugar) in food enters the bloodstream more slowly, which keeps blood sugar on a more even level.
  • The fermentation process that breaks down Fiber produces simple organic acids that help to nourish the lining of the colon and fuel the rest of the body (including metabolism).
  • Sunrider’s Fibertone contains both soluble and insoluble fiber, providing the full range of benefits of both. You can purchase a bottle of Sunrider’s Fibertone from CompleteSelf. The retail cost of 1 bottle of Fibertone is $25.60 which includes 100 capsules.

    Personally, I really like the amount recommended on the bottle – 2 capsules, 3 times a day. In my opinion, Sunrider’s Fibertone is better than anything on the market.

    You can purchase Fibertone from CompleteSelf by sending us an email at info@completeself.com – include your preference for shipping: FedEx Ground ($8.50) or FedEx 3-Day ($13.00)

    You can also call with questions: 512-891-7667 or click “CompleteSelf Store” on the right-hand side menu to sign up with Sunrider to order these products at a discount.

    NOTE: Fibertone contains Tora Seed, this product contains Tora Seed. Read and follow directions. Do not use if you have or develop diarrhea, loose stools, or abdominal pain because Tora Seed may worsen these conditions and be harmful to your health. Consult your physician if you have frequent diarrhea or if you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication, or have a medical condition.
