Posted on by

It’s that time of year again. The holiday season is over but the days of feasting have had an impact on your waistline.

Make it a truly New Year by following through with a healthy resolution
to get in shape through exercise and diet.

To Mom with Love

Posted on by

What does it take to be a good mother? If you were to use one word, the answer might be “selfless”—without a single regret for being so. A good mother puts her children first, above her own needs, wants, and dreams throughout the time her children remain in her care. It’s a noble quality for motherhood which is why Mother’s Day is celebrated around the world.

AIM would like to honor moms everywhere and offer them nutritional support for what may be the hardest—and usually the lowest-paying—job in the universe.

CalciAIM™

One of the many nutritional concerns a mother has for her children is to ensure that they are getting enough dietary calcium for growing strong bones. Yet how often does a selfless mom give her own—sometimes aching, undeniably aging—bones the same consideration? This is why AIM recommends that moms supplement with CalciAIM.

Calcium is a mineral that is a daily necessity for not only healthy bones, but for proper muscle function, central nervous system function, and hormone secretion. But supplementing with calcium alone is not enough, so the CalciAIM formula includes ingredients—such as magnesium, vitamin D, and zinc—that are essential for the uptake and utilization of this vital mineral. Equally important, CalciAIM powder mixed with water provides a completely dissolved solution for a 98 percent absorbable, ionic calcium supple­ment (unlike the 20–30 percent your body can absorb from calcium tablets or capsules). And
it tastes good!

AIMega®

Moms know that essential fatty acids (EFAs) are a daily requirement for not only their children, but all members of the family no matter what their ages. Omega-3 and -6 cannot be produced by our bodies, so EFAs must be a part of our diets. AIMega provides EFAs from organic seed oils—flax, sesame, and sunflower—to ensure that everyone, including mom, is getting enough of these vital nutrients.

Omega-3 and -6 are required for the growth, maintenance, and function of every cell in our bodies, so they are essential for very important reasons. Along with ensuring healthy cells, EFAs provide a long list of benefits, including improved digestion, balanced hormones, smooth skin, strengthened bones, and a strong heart (another requirement for surviving motherhood).

AIM BarleyLife®

“Eat your vegetables!” is a motherly command that echoes through time for a very solid reason. Vegetables are an incredibly healthy dietary factor, and BarleyLife helps to supplement a mother’s green intake and provide additional energy for the demands of motherhood. And it is Nutrition That Works for children, too!

Made from the concentrated juice powder of young barley plants, BarleyLife contains a wealth of nutrients—vitamins, minerals, enzymes, antioxidants, phytochemicals, chlorophyll— that can help mom and her family maintain good health through the most demanding of times.

“I began taking AIM products when I was fourteen, and I believe they have had a big impact in keeping me healthy over the years. As a mother of two girls, Grace and MaLena, I’m kept extremely busy, so I 

need to have lots of energy and remain healthy. AIM products are my answer.

When I think about my two pregnancies, I can attest to the differences in each experience in regard to the amounts of AIM products I was taking at the time. I spent twenty-three hours in labor with Grace, so I had to take a mild painkiller. With MaLena, I increased my uptake of AIM products, such as CalciAIM, AIMega, and BarleyLife, so I was in labor for only five hours and without any pain relievers. Even after MaLena’s birth, I continued this extra AIM regime for some time to help with my recovery. I really believe in taking AIMega throughout the pregnancy because essential fatty acids are so important for the brain development of the baby.

By the way, when MaLena had a stomach problem, I dipped my finger in water and then into a mixture of the contents of a FloraFood capsule and a little bit of BarleyLife, so MaLena could suck it off my finger. Within ten to fifteen minutes, she was comfortably asleep. As for Grace, I load her up on AIM products, and she has never really been sick. 

I wish that more mothers knew about AIM because it would make them—and their children—healthier. “

Many Mountains to Climb

The Personal Journey of AIM-Sponsored  Athlete Martin Benning

Martin Benning welcomes a challenge. Back in 2005, he founded the Seven Summits Cancer Climb to scale the highest peaks on each of the seven continents while bringing attention to cancer support organizations, such as the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and the American Cancer Society. Both of these organizations supported Martin and his family during his cancer battle.

So far, Martin and his team have climbed five of the mountaintops. Two remain: one in Antarctica’s Sentinel Range and the second—the highest—in Asia’s Himalayas. Martin is close to coming full circle in a life of climbing and surviving, considering that his childhood was as great a challenge as Mount Everest. 

In 1983 at the age of three, Martin had what his parents thought was a bad cold. But it lasted for four weeks. His mother Cathy Clark, who worked in health care, took him to a physician for an examination, which revealed an illness immensely

worse than a stubborn cold. Martin had leukemia. For the next four years, he spent much of his young life in and out of hospitals, where he underwent bone marrow biopsies, radiation, and chemotherapy.
 

During hospitalizations that lasted anywhere from weeks to months at a time, Martin’s mother and father would rotate their visits to spend as much time with their little boy as was possible. As months turned into years, being in hospitals became such a normal part of Martin’s life that it was not until he was eight years old that he realized that not all kids have to do this. After four years of treatment, seven-year-old Martin was cured of leukemia.

Less than twelve months later, he was diagnosed with cancer of the central nervous system, meaning the cancer had metastasized in other parts of his body including his spine and his brain. This type of cancer is extremely difficult to treat because the cancer drugs are blocked by the blood-brain barrier. The year was 1988, and Martin was given a 10

percent chance of survival.

He had to endure even more radiation, spinal taps, and excruciating rounds of chemotherapy by injection. Martin remembers that the pain would make him curl up into a little ball, and his mother would have to hold him down as the needle pierced his spine. Frequently, the needles would break.

To make the treatments somewhat easier, a catheter—developed and administered by pediatric nephrologist Dr. Robert Hickman at Seattle Children’s Hospital—was inserted into his neck and out through his chest to deliver the cancer drugs more effectively and less painfully.

The last resort was to implant a dome-shaped Ommaya reservoir into his head to allow the blood-carried chemotherapy to reach the brain and spinal column. To this day, Martin still has this plastic device embedded in his skull.

Fortunately, the chemotherapy—so dam­­­­aging to the body that it often kills the patient—was effective in killing his cancer cells. However, Martin remained cancer-free for less than a year. At the age of ten, he was re-diagnosed with testicular cancer.

More bouts of radiation and chemotherapy followed. Eight to twelve months is the usual protocol, but Martin’s lasted until just before he turned thirteen. “It was the last day of June in 1993 when I received my final chemo,” recalled Martin. “The doctor shook my hand and said he never wanted to see me again!” He had undergone ten years of radiation and chemotherapy and survived the challenges of three life-threatening cancers.

In 2004, Martin crossed paths with another cancer victor, AIM Royal Emerald Director Linda Cole, who chose AIM’s natural health products to fight breast cancer and won. Martin became an AIM-sponsored athlete and began taking AIM products, which he credits with maintaining his health, keeping 

cancer at bay, and giving
him the fitness level required to climb the highest peaks on seven continents. 

At thirty, Martin has been cancer-free for nearly eighteen years. He has a check-up once a year, but his health concerns as an adult are far more typical, such as maintaining healthy cholesterol levels.

Last year, Martin married Emily Garner, whom he met in college. After Emily accompanied him on his team’s fifth climb up Mt. Kosciuszko in Australia, seven years of friendship turned into romance in 2008.

 

Following in the footsteps of his mother, Martin works in the health care field and recently accepted a position as the director of operations in the primary care division of Seattle’s Swedish Medical Center—one of the hospitals he was treated in as a child.

Inner Spring Cleaning

Posted on by

Spring is traditionally a time to clean out houses and garages of winter clutter and miscellany. The same could be said for our bodies. After a season of splurging and sitting, our bodies could use a clean sweep, too. Digestive problems comprise the number one health problem in North America, and one way to combat that fact is through a clean digestive system and healthy eating habits. AIM can help with both. Make this spring your chance to get yourself cleaned up with the following AIM products.

AIM Herbal Fiberblend®

A deep clean for your digestive tract begins with detoxification—an Herbal Fiberblend specialty. Made with a powerful combination of cleansing herbs, all-natural Herbal Fiberblend provides the soluble and insoluble fiber that is often lacking in our diets. The combination of fiber helps the body rid 

itself of harmful toxins. Soluble fiber forms a bulky gel in the intestine that regulates the flow of waste materials through the digestive tract. Insoluble fiber cannot be dissolved in water and so works through the intestine, scouring intestinal walls of waste matter. And for both kinds, the benefits are many, including bowel regularity, detox, colon cleansing, and even a reduction in cholesterol and a healthy blood sugar level. Together, soluble and insoluble fiber make Herbal Fiberblend one of the most valuable fiber and herbal products available today.

AIM Herbal Release®

For getting your immune system spiffed up this spring, you may consider starting with the lymphatic system—the secret solution to reinvigorating the immune system. Overlooked and undersold, the lymphatic system is involved in the growth, development, and deployment of white blood cells, an essential part of a healthy immune system. Lymphoid organs—bone marrow, thymus, lymphatic vessels, lymph nodes, spleen, adenoids, and tonsils—

are key to the white blood cell factor. Keeping these organs in tip-top shape is a job for Herbal Release. The herbs in Herbal Release were carefully selected to work with the lymphatic system to produce a positive cell environment, one of the five key areas of AIM’s Healthy Cell Concept®. Among its helpful herbs are barberry bark, cascara sagrada, chickweed,
and Echinacea. The benefits of these herbs are many, including antibiotic and laxative properties.

AIM Para 90® (U.S. only)

How many people do you think are living with intestinal parasites? Would you believe one in every six? That is the number that the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention discovered through a nationwide survey, showing that parasites are clearly a more pressing matter than most realize. Parasites can arrive in your body through a variety of means, most commonly through the food and water we consume. Once inside, they grow and feed off their host, without contributing anything to the host’s survival. One way to get rid of them is with

Para 90, AIM’s herbal cleansing supplement. Para 90 combines a number of cleansing herbs with bromelain, a digestive enzyme. The 30-day parasite cleanse is a great way to kick off
an inner spring cleaning regimen.

Greens—AIM BarleyLife® and AIM LeafGreens®

As trees outside turn green this spring, so too should your diet. Foods that contain chlorophyll are packed with outstanding nutritional benefits, including anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. And for your inner spring cleaning, chlorophyll also cleanses and detoxifies your body. Green, leafy vegetables are an ideal source of chlorophyll. That’s where AIM’s two
green-nutrition products—LeafGreens and BarleyLife—derive much of their nutrient profile. Both BarleyLife and LeafGreens boast green barley nutrition, which gets even greater with the addition of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, proteins, enzymes, and phytochemicals.

Testimony from Dakota Chapman, age 17, daughter of Group Builders
James and Melissa Dobney from Payette, Idaho:

“When my mom showed up with this green stuff, she opened the can and I was like, “You want me to take what?” We have horses, so I literally thought my mom was trying to make me take ground-up horse poop. And I did not want to do that, so I kind of rebelled for a while. Then I ended up taking it, and it gives me the most energy I’ve ever experienced in my life.


Last year, I went on a mission trip to Peru. I ate all sorts of weird food, and when I came back home, I was really, really sick. My mom thought I had Montezuma’s Revenge. I didn’t think it was that bad, but I went to the hospital. They gave me IVs and couldn’t figure out what was wrong with me.
Well, I started taking Para 90 and Herbal Release. I got better within a week. 

I’m really happy that AIM makes these products because I didn’t want to be sick for a long time.”

It’s all about Nutrition!

Posted on by

Good nutrition is one of the primary ways to maintain good health. Your body thrives on whole food that includes protein, essential fatty acids, and lots of vegetables, which provide a wide variety of essential nutrients. You actually age faster if you regularly eat nutrient-deficient, high-fat, or 

chemically-enhanced food that does not provide the nutrients your body requires. 

Dietary Choices

So much in life involves choices, and more often than not, healthy ones bring about positive results. When it comes to nutrition, selecting what is good for you can be overwhelming, so keep it simple from the start by focusing on whole food.

For example, when you are shopping in a supermarket, make most of your selections from the fresh-food sections, which are usually found on the perimeter of the store. Generally, the inner aisles are lined with the convenience of packaged food. Ignore most of what they have to offer because processed food equals poor nutrition. Fresh, whole food equals good nutrition.

Supplemental Choices

Even if you have a healthy diet, you may not be getting enough nutrients from food alone. Or you may simply want more of the good stuff as opposed to the bad because if you consider all of the diseases that may be related to poor nutrition, it is a great idea to practice prevention by supplementing. And thanks to AIM, you have “good-stuff” choices of whole-food concentrates that are not only simple to include in your daily diet, they provide a rich source of nutrients
that help your body to thrive.

The “Perennial” Garden Trio

The AIM Garden Trio® is three whole-food concentrates that provide a year-long harvest of natural nutrition from the juice powder of young barley plants, carrots, and beets.   
            

When it comes to adding more greens to your diet, one of the healthiest choices you will ever make is to indulge daily with AIM BarleyLife® in a drink (or

capsules). At the forefront of Nutrition That Works, young barley plants provide exceptional nutrition in the form of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, antioxidants, phyto-
chemicals, and chlorophyll. Along with being a natural anti-inflammatory, BarleyLife helps your body to maintain a healthy pH balance—one of the best defenses against disease.

Derived from two of the most nutritionally-packed vegetables in the garden, AIM Just Carrots® and AIM RediBeets® provide the nutrient-ladened juice powders of carrots and beets, and you
do not have to do the juicing.

Just Carrots is an excellent source of nutrients, such as beta-carotene, an antioxidant that gives carrots their orange color. Most importantly, beta-carotene converts to vitamin A, which is vital for the health of your eyes, immune system, skin, and mucous membranes.

Rich in antioxidants, RediBeets provides a dietary source of betaine, an antioxidant associated with proper liver function, cellular reproduction, and homocysteine reduction (a positive factor for heart health). According to The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, the growing body of evidence indicates that betaine is an important nutrient for the prevention of chronic diseases.

Amazing LeafGreens

AIM LeafGreens™ is an unprecedented green supplement—a leaf-juice blend of spinach, faba bean, field pea, and barley along with broccoli sprouts. Available in both powder and capsules, it offers unparalleled nourishment that delivers nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, lutein, quercetin, kaempferol, and sulforaphane. Additionally, LeafGreens provides antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and alkalinizing properties for whole-body health.

Practical ProPeas

Made from low-allergen and gluten-free field peas, AIM ProPeas™ offers you the choice of vegetable protein, which helps to promote a healthy body pH. If you rely on meat for protein, it is wise to balance your intake with ProPeas. It also makes an ideal supplemental protein for those on a vegetarian diet.

Essential for healthy body tissue, protein is the primary element that your body needs to build and maintain your muscles, organs, and immune system. And making ProPeas a part of your weight-management program helps by reducing your appetite, maintaining lean muscle, and burning calories.

As a nutrient provider for over twenty-nine years, AIM offers whole-food concentrates that support good nutrition. Keep AIM at the top of your how-to-stay-healthy list.

Seniors’ Month: Build a NEW Body

Posted on by

Aging is unavoidable.
How fast people age varies from individual to individual. But there are cellular-changing steps you can take to reverse some of the effects of aging and slow the process down. In fact, you can actually

create an entirely new body within a year depending on how active you are, what you eat, and which supplements you take. You may now be thinking … What a load of nonsense! But read
on. Science, not nonsense, is behind this re-creation of your new, younger self.

Rebuilding Cell by Cell

 

Dr. Henry S. Lodge, associate clinical professor of medicine at Columbia University, gerontologist, and co-author of Younger Next Year, states that your body is made up of trillions of cells that have various lifespans ranging from hours to three months. It’s a fact that your cells replicate all the time. They do their vital roles for your body and eventually decelerate—die. But this also means that new cells are always being born.
Specializing in the study of aging, Dr. Lodge acknowledges that these new cells will be strong or weak depending on how you live your life. And this

also means that you can alter what some believe to be inevitable genetic factors.

Suppose you have had a lifetime of suspicious eating habits, infrequent (or non-existent) exercise, and factors (your or life’s choice) that have negatively impacted your health. The cells that replicate as you get older are cells with built-in damage from poor nutrition, inactivity, and stress—aging factors.
Now imagine that you take a long, hard look at how you have lived your life externally and internally—cell-wise—and decide, for at least one year, you are going to EEP:

•           Exercise regularly

•           Eliminate life’s negative factors, such as stress, wherever possible

•           Put only healthy food and beverages and nutrient-rich AIM products into your mouth

By doing so, you allow your body to replicate new and improved cells so that by the end of the year,

you have created an entirely new body that will serve you well for a healthy lifetime.

Start with the Daily Essentials:

Greens, Essential Fatty Acids, and Fiber

 

AIM BarleyLife® and AIM LeafGreens™

 

Feeding your cells the abundant nutrients—including vitamins and minerals—in either BarleyLife or LeafGreens contributes to healthy cells for building the new you, a healthy body for combating inflammation, and a strong immune system and a slightly alkaline body pH for defending against disease. Both of AIM’s greens provide the required trace minerals and enzymes for optimal health. And with the presence of chlorophyll, BarleyLife and LeafGreens provide nature’s perfect cleanser and healer for your cells.

AIMega®

And with the presence of chlorophyll, BarleyLife and LeafGreens provide nature’s perfect cleanser and healer for your cells.  

AIMega®

 

Build your new body by making AIMega® a daily part of your diet. Your body has a nutritional need for
omega-3 and -6 essential fatty acids (EFAs) because it cannot synthesize these vital nutrients. The numerous benefits of EFAs include inflammation reduction, hormonal balance, and cardiovascular support. The reason for their wealth of benefits is that EFAs are crucial for the growth, function, and maintenance of every one of your cells—where the building begins.

 

If you imagine that your cells are microscopic versions of you, then healthy cells require EFAs on a daily basis if only to ensure that their membranes are in a perfect state of flexibility and permeability to allow nutrients to enter and waste to exit—just as your body requires nutrients in and waste
out to function optimally.

AIM Herbal Fiberblend®, AIM FibreBalance®, and AIM fit ’n fiber®

Fiber is an essential part of building your new body and keeping it healthy. Seventy percent of your immune system is in the colon, so a healthy digestive system is one of the greatest contributors to disease prevention for the new you. Supplementing daily with Herbal Fiberblend, FibreBalance (CAN), or fit ’n fiber (US) helps to cleanse your digestive tract, reduce your cholesterol, and balance your blood sugar levels—only a few of the many benefits of a high-fiber intake. Use one, both, or alternate these AIM products to supplement your fiber intake—a dietary essential at any age.

 

Continue to Build with…

AIM Proancynol® 2000

Proancynol 2000 contains seven active ingredients that provide a wide variety of antioxidants that work synergistically on various parts of your body. As a 

researcher for the NIH’s National Institute on Aging for nearly twenty years, Dr. Richard Cutler stated that the amount of antioxidants in your body is directly proportional to how long you will live. And since free radical damage can result in more than eighty age-related diseases, the number of antioxidants you take daily can affect how well you will live your lifetime. Antioxidant support for maintaining healthy cells does not get any better than taking Proancynol 2000.

AIM CellSparc 360®

At the center of living cells is the spark of energy provided by coenzyme Q10—an antioxidant produced by your body in reduced amounts as you age, making supplementation a necessity. If you are giving your body as much CoQ10 as you were producing in your twenties, then you are replicating energy-rich cells that, in particular, support a strong, healthy heart. 

AIM ProPeas™

Like essential fatty acids, protein is a vital ingredient for building healthy cell membranes.  Made from building blocks called amino acids, protein is also the most important nutrient for building and maintaining strong muscles. As a result of smaller appetites, those in their senior years tend to eat and digest less protein than is necessary to support muscle size and strength. ProPeas provides a convenient and healthy way to counteract this deficiency with a slowly digested vegetable protein made from field peas that can
be consumed in a delicious drink.

 

Within one year, you can build a new body cell by cell. So for the rest of your years, continue to EEP, and let AIM be a part of the new you!

“With potential emergency situations, such as hurricanes, freezing weather, or radiation in the atmosphere, I consider the AIM Daily Essentials “must have” products to keep well-stocked in my home. When food and water sources are 

compromised, BarleyLife is balanced nutrition, the fiber and herbs in Herbal Fiberblend provide for intestinal health, and AIMega offers a balanced blend of essential fatty acids.  All three boost the immune system and protect and heal the body. With the Daily Essentials, I know I am nutritionally prepared
to handle an emergency.”

We are both in our sixties, but most people can’t believe how healthy we look. I exercise every morning for at least thirty minutes. Since we live on a farm, Ron is physically active every day. We grow most of our own food and raise antibiotic-free goats and drug-free chickens. I mostly cook from scratch. To supplement our healthy diet, we have been using AIM products, such as AIMega, BarleyLife, Herbal Fiberblend, CellSparc 360, and Proancynol 2000, for seventeen years.

Dads need the Daily Essentials: Greens, Essential Fatty Acids, and Fiber

Posted on by

My father didn’t tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it.

– Clarence Budington Kelland

 

Men’s health falls under the microscope this month with the arrival of Father’s Day. Dads give a lot of themselves at home, work, and play, so it is 

important that their health is given a once over every now and then. For some dads, that may mean a trip outside their comfort zone—the doctor’s office.

One of the biggest obstacles to a healthy dad is helping him overcome his invincibility. According to a 2001 report by the American Centers for Disease Control, men are 33 percent less likely to visit a doctor than women. So the bravado of being a guy has its risks because most medical problems can be addressed if there is awareness of the initial symptoms.

Men’s Health Risks

Heart disease is one of the leading causes of death for both men and women, but the first onset of cardiovascular problems occurs, on average, ten years earlier for men. Risk factors include age, family history, and race. Some of these factors cannot be controlled, but others can. For example, heart disease also strikes those with high cholesterol and high

blood pressure as well as the physically inactive and obese. If dad avoids these latter problems, his heart will thank him.

Another dad danger is stroke. The steps to sidestep stroke are right in line with those to avoid heart disease—a healthy lifestyle that includes a good diet and plenty of exercise. Healthy blood pressure levels remain the most crucial element for avoiding stroke.

Prostate cancer is the most common type of cancer among men. Fortunately, the disease is treatable. Unfortunately, the symptoms of prostate cancer are often masked until it is too late. That is why doctors recommend that men over fifty undergo screening, which can include a blood test or rectal exam. The earlier dad takes the test, the better off he’ll be.

Although stress is not a disease, too much can lead to ill health and has been shown to be a causal factor in the onset of disease. So the stress that dad experiences from the daily demands of work and life

can have a negative impact on his state of health. Exercise is a great stress reliever, and dad should be constantly encouraged to keep in good physical shape.  

Daily Prevention from AIM

When all is said and done, prevention remains the best possible stance to take. Along with getting regular exercise and eating well, AIM provides what it takes to keep dad in the best of health. Whether in good shape or dealing with a health issue, every dad needs the Daily Essentials—greens, essential fatty acids, and fiber.

Daily servings of AIM BarleyLife® can make a lifelong difference for dad. This concentrated powder form of greens provides absorbable, natural vitamins, minerals, enzymes, antioxidants, phytonutrients, and chlorophyll—like a salad in a glass!

Although stress is not a disease, too much can lead to ill health and has been shown to be a causal factor in the onset of disease. So the stress that dad experiences from the daily demands of work and life  

A daily intake of omega-3 and -6 essential fatty acids (EFAs) is a necessity since these indispensible nutrients cannot be produced by the body. EFAs are vital for the health of every cell in dad’s body and provide a long list of health benefits, such as aiding digestion, burning fat, and lowering triglyceride and blood pressure levels. AIMega®’s EFA blend of organic seed oils provides dad with 1,140 mg of omega-3 fatty acids per capsule.

Fiber every day is the third essential way to prevention. A high-fiber intake plays a crucial role in preventing chronic diseases. Making certain that dad gets enough fiber in his diet by supplementing with AIM Herbal Fiberblend®, AIM FibreBalance®, or AIM fit ‘n fiber® will help to keep his digestive system working optimally and contribute to healthy cholesterol, blood pressure, and blood sugar levels.

 

When Dad Needs a Little More

You have dad on the preventative path with the Daily Essentials, but he may require something more. If dad wants additional support for his heart, add AIM CellSparc 360®. The coenzyme Q10 in CellSparc 360 provides energy for the heart and body and assists the heart with cardiac output, exercise tolerance, and more.

If dad is struggling with an enlarged prostate that is causing him urinary difficulties, AIM ReAssure SP® can be added. To help reduce dad’s stress levels, AIM Composure® provides an herbal remedy for relaxing and helping him to sleep better at night, which is also an essential element of good health.

Being aware of possible health risks and the support that is available from all-natural AIM products, dear old dad can be in great shape this Father’s Day. Make men’s health a priority this month and beyond.

 

“As a result of taking BarleyLife, Herbal Fiberblend, and AIMega, I have noticed an increase in my 

energy level and a decrease in the frequency and duration of colds. Also as a byproduct, I was able to stop taking acid reflux medication and have eliminated it with the use of Herbal Fiberblend. With all of the cancer out
there, it’s nice to know I have not only good stuff going into my body but bad stuff coming out! “

The AIM Daily Essentials Plus One

For a healthy frame, make Frame Essentials your Plus One, especially if you have osteoarthritis and suffer from its associated pains.

“BarleyLife feeds my body with the best food available to humans. Herbal Fiberblend keeps me cleaned out and regular. AIMega keeps my body well oiled. The Big Three are the reason I have been in great health all these years, and they’re the primary reason my cancer went away almost twenty-two years ago and has not returned. Also, taking Frame Essentials daily has gotten rid of the aches, pains, and stiffness I used to feel from working out five to six times a week.”

You Can’t Beat Powders!

Posted on by

When the juice powder of young barley plants was introduced to the world almost thirty years ago, The AIM Companies™ was off to a healthy green start. Greens were soon followed by fiber, and the rest is history that is still in the making. Today, AIM provides a healthy variety of nutrient-rich powders, including AIM BarleyLife®, AIM Just Carrots®, AIM RediBeets®, AIM Herbal Fiberblend®, and AIM LeafGreens™, for a number of good reasons.

Absorption of Nutrients

Powders have a direct action on gastro-intestinal tissues and nutrients are easily absorbed. And since they do not have to be broken down like tablets or caplets, the nutrients are quickly absorbed by your body and put to good use. To prepare a glass of concentrated nutrition, all you have to do is to mix the powder with cold water or your favorite beverage (depending on the powder) and drink.

 

Super-Sized Nutrition

Sometimes adults need more than a single serving. Powders provide flexibility when it comes to super sizing your nutritional intake. You can adjust the serving size according to your health requirements. For example, you can increase the serving size of BarleyLife to help you get over health challenges. Or a serving of AIM ProPeas® can be super-sized for the times you need more protein in your diet—after a hard workout or on a day that you didn’t have much to eat. With powders, super sizing can actually be a healthy choice!

Serving Size

Nutritional requirements vary with body size and age, and powders make it easy to adjust serving sizes, for those with health challenges and for the elderly. Many AIM Members have BarleyLife babies—meaning the mother took this green nutrition during her pregnancy. As infants, these babies enjoy a pacifier (soother) dipped in green powder. Children become easily accustomed to its taste, so taking BarleyLife can become a lifelong healthy habit.  

Easier to Swallow

You want to supplement your diet with natural products, but you have trouble swallowing capsules and tablets. Powders make supplementation easy for those with swallowing difficulties. And you get the immediate benefits of products such as BarleyLife with your first sip—in your mouth, throat, and esophagus. Even when you’re on the go and cannot

carry around a canister, the availability of AIM powders in Sample Packs makes it easier to swallow “Nutrition That Works!” when you’re away from home.

Direct Action for a Gut Reaction

Nutrient powders can have a localized effect on gastro-intestinal tissues that provides anti-inflammatory and healing action when needed. Nearly 70 percent of your immune system is in your colon, and far too many health issues are connected to this area of the body. Powders can speedily get to the source of inflammation before (or after) it becomes a health issue.

“At the age of thirty-three, my doctor informed me that in spite of my recent weight loss and regular exercise routine, I would need to go on blood pressure medication. A few months later—and pregnant with our first child—I was referred to the

high-risk pregnancy clinic for my hypertension.

Against the advice of a specialist, I started taking AIM’s barley powder daily. My blood pressure returned to normal levels for the next trimester of the pregnancy. After having a beautiful baby girl, I continued taking the green powder daily. I have remained medication-free since 2002. During my second pregnancy in 2006, I never took medication for hypertension despite giving birth to a nearly ten-pound boy. My obstetrician said to me, “Your blood pressure looks great! Whatever you are doing, keep it up.”

I also attribute BarleyLife to my energy; allowing me to run two home-based businesses, raise a family, drive my children to piano, violin, and swimming lessons, and run in several marathons. Along with helping my husband Kirk with some prostate problems a few years ago, BarleyLife capsules support his overall energy and good health. Our children Dayna and Jared take BarleyLife Xtra,

which the fruits and vegetables make sweet. They are healthy, active, (or rather VERY active) children with their green moustaches!”
