We’re excited to try something a little different.
Over the years, we’ve talked a lot about healthy habits. But many people have told us they’d love to learn more about why we personally recommend certain Sunrider products and how they fit into everyday life.
So today we’re launching a new feature…
Rediscover Sunrider
The Products You Forgot You Loved
This week, we’re featuring Ese™.
Life isn’t getting any less busy.
Between work, family, responsibilities, and everything in between, it’s easy to feel like you’re constantly running from one thing to the next.
One lesson we’ve learned over the years is that resilience isn’t about avoiding stress.
It’s about building habits that help you recover from it.
That’s one reason we’ve kept Ese™ in our routine.
Dr. Tei-Fu Chen developed Ese™ as a concentrated botanical formula designed to complement a healthy lifestyle.
We like to think of it as another tool in the toolbox—alongside getting enough sleep, taking short walks, slowing down for a few deep breaths, and making time to recharge.
Healthy habits still come first.
Sunrider simply helps reinforce them.
A Few Simple Stress-Reset Habits
- Pause for three slow, intentional breaths before responding to a stressful situation.
- Step outside for five minutes of fresh air.
- Put your phone away during meals.
- Build a calming evening routine that helps your body unwind.
Small moments of calm really do add up.

With you in calm resilience,

Healthy living isn’t always about doing more.
Sometimes the healthiest thing you can do is give your body an opportunity to recover.
That’s particularly important during late summer. Vacations, travel, changing schedules, heat, family activities, and the transition toward fall can disrupt sleep, meals, exercise, and even digestion.
Rather than responding by adding another ambitious goal to your list, August can be a good time to focus on three quieter parts of wellness:
sleep, stress management, and gut health.
Sleep Is Part of Your Health Routine
We tend to treat sleep as whatever happens after everything else gets done.
But sleep deserves a place alongside nutrition and movement as one of the foundations of a healthy lifestyle.
A better evening routine can start with surprisingly small changes.
Dim the lights. Put screens away 30–60 minutes before bed. Keep your bedroom comfortable. Read instead of scrolling. Try to maintain a reasonably consistent bedtime.
You can also create a simple ritual that tells your body and mind that the busy part of the day is finished.
A warm cup of Calli® Herbal Tea, for example, can turn a few quiet minutes at the end of the day into something you actually look forward to.
Follow that with your evening skincare routine, a book, prayer, journaling, or a few minutes of quiet reflection.
The products aren’t what make the routine healthy.
The routine is the healthy habit.
Give Stress Somewhere to Go
We can’t eliminate every stressful situation, but we can become more intentional about how we respond to them.
Try building small “resets” into your day.
Take three slow breaths before answering an email.
Walk outside for five minutes.
Stretch between tasks.
Eat lunch without your phone.
Take a short walk after dinner.
These aren’t dramatic interventions—and that’s exactly the point.
Healthy habits work best when they’re simple enough to repeat.
Some people also incorporate herbal products into their wellness routines. Ese™ and Korean White Ginseng are two Sunrider products our community has used as part of broader routines focused on resilience, stamina, and handling periods of increased physical or mental demand.
As always, they’re part of the bigger picture—not a replacement for sleep, good nutrition, movement, or stress management.
Your Gut Likes Consistency, Too
Travel, restaurant meals, changing schedules, stress, and disrupted sleep can also affect digestive routines.
One of the simplest ways to support digestive wellness is to return to the fundamentals.
Eat a variety of whole foods.
Include fiber-rich fruits, vegetables, beans, and whole grains.
Drink enough water.
Move regularly.
Eat more slowly.
And pay attention to how different foods make you feel.
Sunrider’s Vitadophilus® can also be incorporated into a digestive-wellness routine when appropriate.
Again, think of supplementation as another layer—not the foundation.
Self-Care Doesn’t Have to Be Elaborate
One reason people abandon self-care is that we’ve made it sound like another project.
It doesn’t have to be.
Self-care might simply mean protecting 20 minutes at the end of the day.
Make some tea.
Wash your face.
Put the phone away.
Sit somewhere quiet.
Go to bed on time.
Those ordinary moments may not look impressive on social media, but they’re often the habits that make a healthy lifestyle sustainable.
Don’t Wait Until You’re Exhausted to Recover
We often think we should push harder when our routines begin slipping.
Sometimes a better answer is to reset the basics.
Sleep.
Breathe.
Eat well.
Hydrate.
Move.
Take care of your gut.
Create a little space in your day.
Healthy living isn’t about squeezing more and more into your schedule. It’s about building a life that gives your body what it needs consistently.
And sometimes that means knowing when to slow down.

Summer days have a way of filling our calendars.
Longer evenings, vacations, family gatherings, and time outdoors are all wonderful—but they can also leave us feeling a little run down.
That’s why one of the healthiest things you can do this week is surprisingly simple:
Protect your evenings.
Sleep is when your body naturally restores itself. While you rest, your body repairs muscles, supports immune function, balances hormones, and renews your skin after another day in the sun.
Creating a consistent wind-down routine helps signal that it’s time to shift from “go” mode into recovery mode.
Try this simple evening ritual:
These small habits don’t just improve sleep.
They help create a rhythm your body learns to recognize and appreciate.
Healthy living isn’t only about what you accomplish during the day.
Sometimes it’s about giving your body permission to rest.
Sleep well tonight, and tomorrow has a better place to begin.
With you in restorative wellness,

When we think about strength, it’s easy to picture lifting weights.
But strength is really about living life with confidence.
It’s carrying groceries with ease.
Lifting a suitcase into the car.
Keeping up with your kids—or your grandkids.
Getting up off the floor without thinking twice.
Those everyday moments are why strength matters.
The good news?
You don’t need hours in the gym.
Just two or three short strength sessions each week can help support healthy muscles, metabolism, balance, and long-term mobility.
Bodyweight exercises, resistance bands, or light dumbbells are enough to get started.
After your workout, give your body what it needs to recover.
Start with a meal that includes quality protein helps support muscle repair and keeps you feeling satisfied. Good options include:
- Grilled chicken or turkey breast
- Lentils or black beans
- Green peas or edamame
- Greek yogurt or cottage cheese
- Eggs paired with whole-grain toast and fruit
When you’re short on time or need something quick after a workout, SunFit® Protein Plus – Ginger Turmeric is an easy way to add 20 grams of complete plant-based protein. The warm notes of ginger and turmeric pair surprisingly well with tropical fruit for a refreshing summer smoothie.
Summer Sunshine Protein Smoothie
Ingredients
-
1 scoop SunFit® Protein Plus – Ginger Turmeric
-
1 cup unsweetened coconut milk (or milk of choice)
-
½ cup frozen pineapple chunks
-
½ cup frozen orange segments (or ½ peeled orange)
-
½ frozen banana
-
½ teaspoon fresh grated ginger (optional for extra zing)
-
Ice, as needed
Directions
Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Garnish with a slice of orange or a sprinkle of shredded coconut, if desired.
Whether your protein comes from whole foods or a quick smoothie, the goal is the same: give your body the nutrients it needs to recover so you’re ready for whatever tomorrow brings.
Strong muscles don’t just help you live longer.
They help you live better.
And that’s a goal worth building toward.
With you in lifelong strength,

The best exercise might not feel like exercise.
Not every workout has to happen in a gym.
In fact, summer offers some of the best opportunities to move simply because it’s fun.
Take a walk after dinner.
Play with the grandkids.
Go swimming.
Ride a bike.
Work in the garden.
Dance while making dinner.
Movement doesn’t have to be intense to be meaningful.
Aim for activities that make you smile while keeping your body active.
Need a little extra motivation?
Whether you’re heading out for a walk, tackling a workout, or simply keeping up with a busy summer schedule, Sunrise® provides clean herbal energy to help support focus, endurance, and steady energy—without caffeine or the crash.
If you’re adding a little strength training along the way, remember that recovery matters too.
On hot summer days, ElectroSport® is an easy way to replenish electrolytes lost through sweat, helping support hydration before, during, or after activity.
Or try a serving of SunFit® Protein Plus after activity can help provide plant-based protein to support muscle recovery and keep you feeling satisfied.
Summer Berry Protein Smoothie
Blend until smooth for a refreshing breakfast or afternoon snack.
Healthy habits are easier to maintain when you actually enjoy them.
Find movement that fits your life—and look forward to doing it again tomorrow.
With you in joyful movement,
