“I take Balance of Nature supplements in the afternoon as I’m going for a walk. I chew on them. I take them. I sprinkle them into all my foods.” —Julio G.

Balance of Nature customer Julio is a property estimator and vehicle appraiser in Florida, where he’s lived for over 20 years. Before that, he was a medic and a corpsman in the U.S. Navy.
“That takes a toll on your body,” he comments. “You know, I’m not as young as I used to be.”A Tough Job
As a former medic, Navy reservist, and corpsman, Julio experienced a lot of physical and emotional strain.
“It’s pretty heavy because you see a lot of things,” he explains. “As a medic, you could roll up on anything. You don’t know what you’re rolling up to.”
Julio continues, “It does affect the body, and it gets you tired and has you thinking not right, in the sense that you’re constantly tired. Without taking care of yourself, it could get the best of you. That’s why you have to have that train of thought that, hey, you got to take care of yourself: physically work out, eat right, and you got to get the necessary sleep in order for your body to recover for the next day.”
He Ate Clean Growing Up and Now Enjoys Cooking
Julio’s parents immigrated from Cuba to New York before he was born, and he grew up in the Washington Heights area. Julio shares that they always ate healthy foods growing up.
“The food at the home was organic,” he says. “It was clean at that time. All the food wasn’t processed like it is now. And we were eating fresh vegetables, cooked vegetables, roots, protein, and seasoned fresh Hispanic food at home. My parents shied away from fast food. It was drilled into us about the food: eat the good food—you’ll be full throughout the day—then you’ll have your dinner at night. But the food was amazing. It was locally grown fruit, roots, vegetables, and protein; they would just sauté it into a Spanish dinner.”
Julio says he has been cooking most of his life after seeing his parents cook. “I stuck with some of the Spanish tradition, and some of the Cuban dishes that I like to make. And I like to cook my own food because I want to know what’s in my food. So cooking for me is a peace of mind after work; it actually relaxes me.”
Being Healthy Is Important to Julio
Julio says it’s very important that he and his son, Josh, are healthy.
“If he’s healthy, that’s less strain on me knowing that I have to do more to make sure that he stays healthy. And if I’m healthy, that means I’m going to be around even longer for him,” he shares. “I’ve got a whole life ahead of me with him, and I’ve got to be around for every single moment. I have to do whatever I can to take care of myself, not only physically and emotionally, but with the foods that I eat as well. That’s going to play a huge part in what my life is going to look like here in the next 10, 20, 30 years.”
Spending Quality Time with His Son
Julio says he and his son like to play video games or will sometimes go putt around on the golf course. They also often ride bikes, cook together, or do other activities.
“Being out on a bike with my son, that’s awesome, after a day’s worth of work,” he shares. “Just getting on the bike and strolling around the neighborhood or going on the golf course road just relieves the mind from being in front of a computer all day. Just seeing nature, destressing from the day, and getting some exercise. It’s awesome just to ride around. We’re talking while we’re riding around on our bikes, and the next thing we know, we’re already two miles in. We’re back at the house because we did a circle of the entire community.”
Julio says family is important to him. “It’s just me and Josh. And being with Josh, I look at him and I’m like, ‘I have a 10-year-old,’ you know, and your life changes after you have kids. And it’s not about you anymore. It’s about them. And for the past 10 years, everything has been about Josh. I want to see him turn another 20, another 30, another 40, another 50. I want to be able to see that. I know I’m not going to see it forever, but I want to see it as long as I can because family is important for me. You need family. Family is number one.”
Julio Relates to Our Real Success Stories
Julio is about 56 years old and has taken Balance of Nature supplements for over two years. He first heard about Balance of Nature supplements through commercials. Julio decided to try Balance of Nature supplements after that and hasn’t been without it since. Now he recommends them to others!
“People will hear me talk about Balance of Nature supplements. I’m like, ‘You gotta just trust me. Just try it—the full 3 Fruits & 3 Veggies supplements for a few weeks, and then just tell me the difference.’”
He adds, “I really heard about it through testimonies and not sales ads. Because we’re real people. It’s a real product. That’s how I heard about it, and that’s why I’ve been on it since.”
Julio says he started feeling a difference within weeks of starting Balance of Nature supplements. “You have to try it. You just have to try it. There’s no way for me to explain. Why not get the real ingredients into your body?”
Balance of Nature Supplements are the Perfect Addition for Julio
Julio says he knew Balance of Nature would be a good addition to what he was already doing because he doesn’t get a variety of ingredients from fruits and vegetables.
“There’s so much variety of ingredients from fruits and vegetables in there that we need,” he says. “Balance of Nature supplements are perfect for me—it’s the perfect thing—because it’s 3 Fruits & 3 Veggies supplements. I even take them in the afternoon as I’m going for a walk. I chew on them. I take them. I sprinkle them into all my foods.”
Julio also sprinkles the Balance of Nature supplement powder into his son’s food.
“So when I started taking Balance of Nature supplements, I began putting it into his food and he’s tried a few of the capsules himself, especially the Fruits supplements. But then, I just started opening the Fruits supplements and mixing the powder into his fruit juice. Like orange juice! I’ll sprinkle it into his food, like his salad. He likes salads. With him being here with me, I’ve been introducing him to a healthier lifestyle.”
Balance of Nature Offers a Better Supplement
Julio says that if he did not have Balance of Nature supplements, he would be scrambling to see what he could use to supplement his daily routine. “I’ve tried everything in the past 20 to 25 years, and I need to start taking care of myself.”
He says, “If it wasn’t for Balance of Nature, I would probably be going back to all these supplement stores and trying to read through all the confusion and chaos of what’s being marketed out there.”
Julio continues, “I’m not going back. I’ve looked at other supplements out there, and they don’t have what Balance of Nature supplements have: ingredients from real fruits and vegetables. I plan to be around for my son because he needs me. I want to see him grow up, and I need to take care of myself. So I had to take the initiative to stay on Balance of Nature supplements forever—as well as eating healthy and exercising.”
