“I thought, what could be better than easy-to-take ingredients of fruit and vegetables? That’s got to be great, you know? So that’s what drew me to it.” —Brenda P.

Balance of Nature customer Brenda’s life is full of flavor and family. She loves cooking and gardening, but her favorite moments are spent with her grandchildren. Together, they enjoy coloring, crafting, playing outside, or sharing a good book.
How Brenda Maintains a Healthy Lifestyle
To maintain a healthy lifestyle, Brenda says she tries to get a lot of sleep and keep a routine.
“I try to eat at the same time every day,” shares Brenda. “I go to bed at the same time and get up at the same time. I think routine is important to your body. I walk all the time and I’m always on my feet, cooking and things. So I’m fairly active for a person my age.”
She wants to stay healthy to be there for her grandkids, to feel good, and to live a long time like her 93-year-old father whom she takes care of. “I did a lot of cooking in the last four years, cooking for him and just cooking all kinds of vegetables—he loves vegetables,” she shares.
Fresh from the Garden: Brenda P.’s Cooking Story
Brenda says she has been cooking a long time. “I’ve been married over 42 years, so I’ve done a lot of cooking and I’ve just learned to love it,” she explains. “I like to can, and freeze, and preserve food from our garden.”
Cooking her own food gives her peace of mind as well. “I like to cook my own food because I know how it was handled, what’s in it. We just like home-cooked food and knowing the ingredients, knowing how it was handled, properly, kept at the right temperature—I like that. I think we feel better, we’re healthier if I cook the food: good, hearty food,” she adds.
Her mother and her aunts taught her a lot of what she knows. “My mother’s family would raise gardens and preserve food, freeze it, can it, dry it—sometimes you do dried food like apples and things like that. So it kind of comes down through the family,” Brenda explains.
Although Brenda doesn’t garden as much as her husband does, she enjoys helping.
“He does the physical work of hoeing and plowing, tying up tomatoes and things like that, but I’m more on the preserving side. He brings it in and then I take over and can the tomatoes and freeze the squash and peas and make homemade salsa, things like that,” she explains.
Their garden is natural and free of fertilizers and pesticides, which she likes. “There’s just nothing like the taste of freshly grown vegetables in the garden,” she describes. “You can’t match it. In my home, grown tomatoes that I can make into spaghetti, chili, or soup taste unbelievably so much better than what you buy at the store—the salsa—it just tastes better and it’s better for you.”
Taking Balance of Nature Supplements Is Easy
Brenda has taken Balance of Nature supplements for over a year and a half. She saw Balance of Nature on TV and thought, why not, so she tried it!
“It’s easy to take,” she says. “I was drawn to it because I’m kind of turned off by other vitamins.”
Having a nutrition background, Brenda liked the qualities of Balance of Nature supplements.
She shares, “When I was in college, I studied food and nutrition, and my degree is now called family and consumer science. So I had a background in supplements and nutrition. That’s what I majored in in school.”
The variety of whole food ingredients in Balance of Nature supplements is something she particularly liked. “I thought, what could be better than easy-to-take ingredients of fruits and vegetables? That’s got to be great, you know? So that’s what drew me to it.”
Variety Is the Spice of Life
Brenda wanted more variety. She says fruits and vegetables are important, but she tends to eat more vegetables than fruits. She’s happy she can get a wide variety of ingredients of whole foods with Balance of Nature supplements.
“I like the mixture of the ingredients in there,” she says.
Brenda signed up for a subscription because she intends to keep taking Balance of Nature supplements and doesn’t want to forget to order. “It’s very convenient. I usually get my new bottle before my old one is finished.”
Brenda continues, “I take one Fruits supplement and one Veggies supplement with every meal. I don’t take all six at one time. I just choose to do that. I do it so I take it three times a day.”
“I recommend Balance of Nature supplements, and I plan to take it forever,” Brenda concludes.
