When you are young, among the first things you learn is how to count to 10. It was not so hard as you first imagined, once you got into a rhythm. “1, 2, 3 …”
Move ahead a few years, well maybe several years, to wellness and fitness. People are becoming increasingly aware of the value of preventing a physical problem before one occurs. A little bit of fitness can go a long way. Whether it is a daily walk or busting it out at the gym, a couple of clichés come to mind: A stitch in time saves nine, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. The point is that some fitness now will serve you very well both in the present, and in the future when a base level of fitness might really be needed.
AIM products – one, two, three of them – can be that stitch, that ounce … that aid fitness.
AIM products are created for people of all ages, all lifestyles. You can find AIM products on basketball court benches, in ice rinks, on the sidelines of football fields, and atop the highest peaks in the world. The AIM products work synergistically with a healthy, active lifestyle and have helped many athletes, professional and amateur, achieve their fitness goals.
AIM BarleyLife®: Most athletes would agree that physical fitness starts with two things; one is training and the other is nutrition. Just as a car needs adequate fuel to run properly, the human body needs vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients to replenish and meet the demands of an active lifestyle.
That’s where AIM BarleyLife® comes in, at the starting line. Made from the leaves of young barley plants and packed with essential nutrients, AIM BarleyLife® is the fuel for healthy cells. The green juice is rich in enzymes, amino acids, and antioxidants to keep a body running smoothly and maintain whole body health. AIM BarleyLife® also comes in convenient Nutrition-on-the-Go single-serving packets that are ideal for refueling on the run.
To be fit, you have to feel well enough to involve yourself in a fitness regimen. It is hard to worry about fitness, for example, when you have a painful dental problem. Anna Ireland, a Royal Emerald Director from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada, took matters into her own hands.
“I had a very sore tooth. It was so badly abscessed that the dentist said he would have to do a root canal. It was going to cost me $1,400. I decided to pack my tooth with AIM BarleyLife®. I used two pieces of cotton batten, soaked it in AIM Prills™ water, and then rolled it in dry AIM BarleyLife®. I did that for three nights changing it about every 2-3 hours. It smelled horrible as the infection was being pulled out of my gums. Within three days, my abscessed tooth was completely healed. The dentist said he had never seen anything like it. I have since had another tooth that became abscessed and I did the same thing and it cleared up. Since then my sister has done the same thing with the same results.”
CalciAIM™: Following nutritional maintenance, support is essential to the active human body. Healthy physical fitness cannot be achieved without a strong set of bones and joints. That’s where CalciAIM™ enters the race. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the human body and is stored primarily in the bones and teeth as the chief supportive element. CalciAIM™ combines three types of calcium for a total of 38 percent of the daily recommended value in each serving to reinforce a solid frame for physical activity. This naturally-flavored citrus drink mix also provides vitamins A, C, and D, magnesium for calcium metabolism, and zinc and copper for bone formation. Adequate calcium intake is essential at all stages of life and CalciAIM™ helps active people of every age support their frames and their fitness goals.
Prior to the introduction of CalciAIM™ in March, a number of AIM staff members gave the product a try to judge for themselves the value of the product. One was Joyce Janzen in the Nampa corporate office.
“I’ve been taking CalciAIM™ for several months now and love the fruity flavor. I don’t mind mixing it with water and drinking it instead of previously taking calcium tablets because it is a highly soluble and absorbable calcium compared to tablets. I’m excited that CalciAIM™ also includes other vital vitamins/minerals that my body needs for healthy living. CalciAIM™ gives me peace of mind that I’m doing the right thing for my calcium needs.”
AIM Peak Endurance®: After fueling up, a spark is needed to ignite the body’s cells. Many active individuals depend on caffeine or sugar to get a kick throughout the day, but those stimulants can become addicting and progressively less effective. AIM has an alternative for a natural spark, AIM Peak Endurance®. Formulated with adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the unit of energy for cellular activity, and all five major electrolytes, AIM Peak Endurance® provides a consistent boost without raising the heart rate or promoting dependency. Heightened levels of ATP are beneficial for not only fitness, but for everyday life. AIM Peak Endurance® plays a role before, during, and after physical activity by stimulating blood flow, speeding up muscle recovery, and boosting mental acuity and memory. AIM Peak Endurance® is also available in single-serving packets for energy at the gym, the workplace, or anywhere on the go.
Jill Schneider is a Preferred Member from Pomfret Center, Connecticut. Already a believer in AIM BarleyLife® to aid in her fitness, once she added AIM Peak Endurance® to her life, good things really started to happen.
“I have always exercised in the morning to get my day going. In October of 2005, I changed my cardio exercise to running three to four times per week. I run about 3.3 miles. Before I run, I take a tablespoon of AIM BarleyLife® and a tablespoon of AIM Just Carrots® in about three ounces of water. Before AIM Peak Endurance®, on the days that I ran, instead of feeling invigorated afterward I would actually feel more tired and sore. When AIM Peak Endurance® was introduced, I immediately purchased a canister and started taking it after my morning run. What a difference! Right after I run, I take a full scoop in about 12-16 ounces of water. After taking AIM Peak Endurance® three or four times, I noticed I was no longer ‘dragging’ on the days that I ran. I have energy and feel great after I exercise and throughout the whole day. It balances the pH of my body’s system and restores the electrolytes I lose while running. It is definitely more fun to exercise knowing I will feel great when I am done!”
