Brooksville, Fla., in 2005, where she is a law clerk for Pasco County Clerk of Courts. On a recent trip back to Melbourne to visit family, she stopped by Nature’s Market to stock up on the supplements she uses to maintain her health. “I became aware of the value of supplements and vitamins about 20 years ago,” Mrs. Myers said. “At the time I had back pain. After an MRI and a short of steroids, the pain was still there. They wanted to put me on Oxycodone. “I was lucky to find someone, who steered me to supplements and vitamins and the value of nutrition. I began using enzymes to clean out my body of toxins, and to get rid of the poisons that were affecting my health. “The pain went away, and I’m more
FOREVER YOUNG After working in the food service industry for more than 30 years, keeping customers happy is the primary goal for Mr. Greenspan. “You’re only as good as the last meal you put out,” Mr. Greenspan said. “It’s important to listen to your customers and be able to change on the fly.” Just like the food he serves, Mr. Greenspan’s business philosophy is full of flavor and compassion. “Maintaining a hometown feel is extremely valuable. My wife is out front and I cook in the back,” Mr. Greenspan said. “I do my best to come out as much as possible so I can get to know our customers.” With a menu full of delicious, reasonably priced options and an owner who cooks from the heart, Banana River Café certainly aims to please. “I love food and people, and I want to make them happy with my food.” Banana River Café is located at 1301 S. Patrick Ave. in Satellite Beach. Business hours are 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday, with breakfast only served on Sundays.

I’m not opposed to doctors. I’m just saying, I think you can do a lot to help yourself if you become educated about what you’re putting in your body – either in terms of food or the supplements that are available to you. I exercise and do stretching, I eat probably 80 percent organic food and I know it helped me, and I think it can help anyone.” But Mrs. Meyers does not claim to be perfect. “I’m like an alcoholic,” she said. “Sometimes I’ll fall off the wagon and will eat chips or a big burger. But, I can feel the difference it makes in my body. As soon as I realize what’s happening, I get back to my healthy habits and my health improves. To me, it really is simple. Your health depends on what you put into your body. You are what you eat.”
