A Convenient Truth - My Health Testimony From an early age I had been taught about nutrition and the importance of eating a healthy diet. I enjoyed eating this way and my body reaped the benefits. I married a man, however, who was a full fledged meat and potatoes kind of a guy. For the first part of our marriage I was the cook, so skinless chicken breast, beans and vegetables were served up for dinner regularly. But when an accident left me bed-ridden, the tables were turned and my husband was now the chef. He stated, "Since I’m doing the cooking it might as well be something I like to eat." It would be a long time before I was again served vegetables in the amounts that I preferred. The toll of remaining bed-ridden slowly showed as year after year I continued to add pounds to my weakening frame. My adrenals were in distress from chronic pain and in time I developed acid reflux disease. I had poor immune function and my allergies worsened. I was frequently ill with colds and flu’s. My husband, who so lovingly takes care of me and our four sons, eventually began trying to cook and eat healthier. Unfortunately though, with all the demands his life holds he found it almost impossible to achieve. The fast food restaurants on the way home from work seemed his only solution to feed us at times. The stress and lack of good nutrition left him exhausted and struggling with his own health issues. Along with weight gain and severe fatigue, Joe had developed a sharp pain in the right side of his stomach that would not go away. For years he dealt with irritable bowel syndrome and the doctors offered no solution. In what I believe to be an answer to my prayers, my good friend, Mely, introduced me to her friend Maureen, who has since become a dear friend to me. Maureen reminded me of the Energizer bunny, she just exudes energy. She began sharing the information about Sunrider with me and my husband and we both jumped on board. It was the perfect solution for us to consume lots of good nutrition with convenience and ease. My husband and kids make my Sunrider shakes in an instant, so I am now eating very healthy fast food. We have been eating the Sunrider food and drinking the tea for about a year and a half. The benefits are numerous. I am no longer gaining weight; in fact, most recently I have eaten only Sunrider and salads and have lost 10 pounds. My immune system is much stronger, as I have not been on an antibiotic in over a year. I no longer take Prilosec or my once daily dose of Claritin. My husband has been steadily losing weight. He has lost a total of twenty five pounds. It has been a slow gradual process which means it will stay off because he is making lifestyle changes. Within a few months the pain in his side disappeared and a few months later he lost all symptoms of I.B.S. The biggest difference I see is his energy level. It makes me so happy to see him able to keep up with his demands and have something left over to do the things he enjoys. The truth is that, Sunrider is the most convenient good thing you can do for yourself today. So if you want to feel better, look better, and you believe you can’t, think differently. Think… yes I can! Have yourself a Sunrider shake, grab a refreshing glass of Calli and Fortune Delight iced cold tea, and just watch your body soar!
