I met with a friend in July 1991 who I hadn’t seen for 3 years and I couldn’t believe how great he looked. He had lost about 70 pounds and looked 10 years younger. I didn’t recognize him at first sight. I asked him what he had done and he said he was eating Sunrider Foods every day. I had to know more.

I went to his home and he mixed me some NuPlus, Quinary, Fortune Delight and Sunectar with water. I drank it and it tasted okay. Then he made me a pot of Calli tea that I drank while we visited for an hour as he explained about the Philosophy of Regeneration.

At this time, I was training for the 1992 Olympic Games for the 1500m run and I was very focused on all aspects of my training, diet, sleep and so on. My resting heart rate was 47 beats per minute, my weight was 145 lbs and I was sleeping between 6 to 8 hours per night. When I was in my training phase of preparation, my weight stayed between 140 lbs and 148 lbs and my racing weight was 136 lbs. If I dropped my weight below 136 lbs, I lost a lot of strength and became very weak and ran slow so I had to maintain my weight.

The very next morning my resting heart rate dropped to 39 beats per minute and I was shocked. It had never dropped below 45 before. The only thing that had changed in the last 24 hours was eating the Sunrider foods. I continued eating the foods and found my rate stayed below 40 and within 6 months went as low as 28. I was extremely fit.

Over the course of the next two weeks, I started to notice that my breathing had improved. I had been an asthmatic since I was a young child and relied on my inhaler everyday as I was constantly exercising. Within a month I noticed I hadn’t used my inhaler for over two weeks and stopped taking it with me to training. I realised that my breathing problems were due to malnourishment and not some defect I had.

Due to my training regime, I ate up to 5 plates of food every dinner just to get enough energy into my body for the next day’s training. After starting to eat the Sunrider foods, over the next two months my meals cut down to one plate only. Goodbye all you can eat buffets. Again I realised that my incredible food intake was because I wasn’t feeling nutritionally satisfied and not because of my need for energy for training. This resulted in my weight dropping to 137 lbs for training and 131 lbs for racing and no loss of strength, incredible!

My sleep improved also and I was recovering from my training sessions easier and quickly. My coach was wondering what was going on since my times were improving out of sight in training and racing. Three months later I made All American Cross Country NCAA Division 1 (top 25 athletes in the USA).

My Coach also wondered why I wasn’t getting sick and breaking down from all the training as I had always done in the past. Even while the other athletes on the team were struggling, I just seemed to keep improving.

Before eating the Sunrider foods I believed that I was eating a very well balanced diet yet I still had colds and illness like everyone else. I thought that was normal. Over the course of the next two years, I started to notice the illnesses I had over my entire life were gone and didn’t come back.

It has been over 17 years since I started eating the Sunrider foods and I still haven’t had a cold or caught the flu even though people around me have them. The problem was malnourishment the whole time. Thank you Dr. Chen and thank you Sunrider for these great foods. I will enjoy them for the rest of my long life.

To good health and wellbeing,
