Are you getting adequate greens, fiber, and essential fatty acids?

Three deficiencies are absolutely unacceptable for your state of health—a lack of greens, fiber, and essential fatty acids. This deprives your body of life-giving nutrition that can help to ensure good health and longevity by gently detoxifying, balancing your body pH, and combating inflammation. You do not want to be lacking in any of the Daily Essentials™.

This is why AIM offers a variety of cost-effective product combinations that feature
AIM BarleyLife® or AIM BarleyLife® Xtra, AIM Herbal Fiberblend® or AIM FibreBalance®
(CAN), and AIMega®. The Daily Essentials packs provide all-natural, supplementary greens, fiber, and omega-3 and -6 essential fatty acids so that you are never deficient in any of these three nutritive necessities.

Greens

When you supplement your diet with essential greens from BarleyLife, you are going beyond the nutritional value of green vegetables alone. Including chlorophyll,
vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, the wealth of natural nutrients in young barley grass is extracted and made available in a juice powder that is easily absorbed by your body, enriching your cells with unparalleled nutrition.

Fiber

Too many people are fiber-deficient—an open door to health problems. A clean, optimally functioning intestinal tract ensures a strong immune system—around 70 percent of which is in the colon. The fiber in Herbal Fiberblend or FibreBalance helps to maintain a high-fiber intake along with cleansing herbs that not only supports
a healthy digestive tract, but can lower blood sugar, maintain heart health, and lower the risk of death from lung disease and infections.

Omega 3 and 6

If you are not getting omega-3 and -6 essential fatty acids (EFAs), you are literally starving your cells. However, your body cannot make the EFAs required for healthy
cell growth, repair, and energy production. You have to get them from particular foods or through supplementation. AIMega makes it easy to avoid being EFA-deficient.

Supplementing with the Daily Essentials never leaves you lacking.

I feel more energetic, especially from taking BarleyLife. My whole body system functions much better by taking Herbal Fiberblend and AIMega. I sure noticed the
difference when I stopped taking them for a while. My chiropractor reminded me about how good they were for me. I tried them again, and I haven’t looked back since. My husband is taking the BarleyLife as well. I also want to say AIM is always a pleasure to deal with whenever I call in to place orders.

My husband and I have been taking AIM products since 2003, and we’ve used The Daily Essentials for over six years. We’re in our early senior years, and both of us are in good health, even though Gerry had a second knee replacement in April 2012. I had read
about a Member taking therapeutic doses of AIM products before surgery and having
very little pain afterward. So just before knee surgery, Gerry started therapeutic doses of BarleyLife and AIMega and continued post-op. Of course, the hospital staff didn’t want him taking the products, but he got off medication sooner than the previous surgery and recovered far more quickly.

Coenzyme Q10 and omega-3 and -6 for heart health

Posted on by

With the power of coenzyme Q10 and omega-3 and -6 essential fatty acids, AIM’s heart health products are on the cutting edge with two of the most effective all-natural cardiovascular supplements available. For matters of the heart—be it blood pressure, heart disease, or other issues—products like AIM CellSparc 360® and AIMega® have you covered.

CellSparc 360 combines coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) with tocotrienols and fish oil, and the three ingredients work together to improve energy production, lower cholesterol, and maintain heart health. Each capsule of CellSparc contains 60 milligrams of CoQ10. This antioxidant helps facilitate molecular breakdowns in the body to produce energy, a function that is vital to heart health.

The heart muscle uses more energy than any other tissue, and therefore, it requires the highest concentration of CoQ10. As we age, our bodies produce less CoQ10. When the body’s supply of CoQ10 is depleted, the heart is one of the first to feel it.

Studies have confirmed CoQ10’s importance. A Chinese research team found that CoQ10 supplementation improved the health of arteries due to increased blood flow and cellular energy. Spanish researchers examined the effect of CoQ10 and a healthy diet and found that these factors can help reduce one’s risk of heart disease. Many other studies have shown CoQ10’s benefits in areas such as how efficiently the heart pumps, how well the heart may tolerate exercise, and the amount of blood pumped by the heart.
Research has led many to believe that increased supplementation of CoQ10 may decrease the amount of medication used by heart disease patients.

Alongside CoQ10, essential fatty acids (EFAs) also boost cardiovascular health.

AIMega provides a healthy ratio of omega-3 and -6 essential fatty acids from sources of
“good fats.” The body is unable to manufacture these omega fatty acids on its own, adding importance to proper diet and supplementation. Inadequate intake of EFAs is one of the most widespread nutritional deficiencies of the modern diet.

One of the most important roles of essential fatty acids is their reduction of inflammation
throughout the body. Inflammation can damage blood vessels and lead to heart disease.
Studies show that EFAs maintain healthy blood pressure, blood lipids, and heart rate, as well as their role in healthy immune system function.

AIM products CellSparc 360 and AIMega, rich in CoQ10 and essential fatty acids, are part of the Heart Health Starter Pack. In addition to these products, the Starter Pack also contains products that boast additional cardiovascular benefits from garlic and fiber. Both garlic and fiber have been shown to lower cholesterol.

The Heart Health Starter Pack in the U.S. (5582E, $99.00) contains AIMega, CellSparc 360, AIM fit ’n fiber®, and AIM Bear Paw Garlic®. The Canadian Heart Health Starter Pack (5559E, $110.00) contains AIMega, CellSparc 360, AIM Kyolic Aged Garlic Extract, and AIM FibreBalance®.

Group Builder Diana Mills, Raleigh, North Carolina: 

In 1979, pregnant with my first child, I had my first heart palpitations. My heart raced out of control, and it scared me so badly that I sat by the phone with my hand on the receiver ready to dial 911. I soon learned to relax and breathe to calm them—and me—down.

About six years ago, I found a cardiologist and made an appointment because my heart
palpitations were so frequent and so long that I couldn’t function normally and always feared that they would come at a very inconvenient time or when I was in a situation where I couldn’t leave. You see, I had to sit straight up, stretch my torso, and hold my breath—I looked like a weirdo.

Well, my cardiologist prescribed the blood pressure medicine Cardizem®. I didn’t want to take it, but I did go on the medicine to see if it would control my racing heart.

It did help. My spells went from lasting up to six hours to only a few minutes. However, I still had anywhere from four to ten short episodes a day. Most of the time, if I felt one coming on and if I stretched and breathed right, I could stop it within a few seconds.

Now, let’s get to the exciting part. In March of 2011, my friend and mentor Ann Dillon (Star Sapphire Director from Holly Springs, North Carolina) said, “Diana, why don’t you try AIM CellSparc 360? It’s worth a try.” So I did.

And oh my, I can’t believe it! I have literally gone from four to ten short episodes a day to
only having a few two-second episodes per week. Wow! This is very, very exciting for me. I can’t wait to go for my annual cardiology appointment and share the news. I have been suffering with this problem for thirty years, and now it’s basically gone. Gone!

If you have been suffering from heart palpitations, please give CellSparc 360 a try. I
can’t wait to hear your story!

Director Fred Hampshire, Waterdown, Ontario, Canada: 

In 1997, a friend recommended AIM products to help me get rid of a gum infection, bursitis, and diverticulosis. These health problems disappeared shortly after taking the AIM Garden Trio® and AIM Herbal Fiberblend®.

Soon after this, the doctor told me I had high blood pressure and gave me a prescription to lower it. The side effects of insomnia, shortness of breath, and weak legs were so severe that I could not work or exercise. One night, I called my doctor and said that I felt like I was going to die because of this medication. His response was, “You will get used to it!” I was not satisfied with the doctor’s advice, so I looked again at the AIM products and discovered AIM CellSparc 360® with Coenzyme Q10. I then talked to a pharmacist
whom I trusted, and he encouraged me to take the Cellsparc 360 in the morning and the blood pressure medication at bedtime. In about three or four weeks, my blood pressure reduced to a normal rate. I asked the doctor, “Could I lower the medication?” He did not have a positive response. After that, I changed doctors. By slowly cutting back on the blood pressure meds, I was able to get completely off the medication.

To bring this up to date, my blood pressure has been charted for about ten years. I keep a record, and my current pressure is 112 over 76. I am seventy-five years old and work a twelve-hour day. I have tremendous energy, and my doctor is amazed at my physical condition. I tell everyone about AIM BarleyLife® and Herbal Fiberblend. And CellSparc 360 has given me so much energy. At my last yearly check-up, my doctor said I’m
more like someone in their early fifties.

In closing, let me tell you about AIMega®. I have had better eye tests with no new prescriptions in two years as well as great looking skin. In my most recent eye exam, the doctor had looked at the back of my eyeball and made the remark, “There is no evidence of any health problems - you appear to be in really good health.”

Nutrition for healthy bones

Posted on by

Have you ever watched a house or building being built? The frame is constructed on a solid foundation. Your body is similar: the foundation of good health is built around your skeletal frame, the strength of which supports a healthy lifetime. Strong, healthy bones are your body’s infrastructure, which can be maintained with exercise, rest, a healthy diet, and supplementation from AIM.

CalciAIM

Your bone structure involves the work of two types of cells: osteoblast and osteoclasts—the builders and the excavators that gather and extract calcium, which is the primary building material of your bones. More often than not, bone structure suffers from a calcium deficiency. To make sure that your body is receiving enough of this vital mineral, you have to get enough dietary calcium. Supplementing with CalciAIM™ can ensure this.

The average adult needs 1,000 to 1,200 mg a day. One serving of CalciAIM provides around 400 mg of easily absorbed calcium. Simply mix one rounded scoop of the powder in 8-10 oz (240–300 ml) of water for a tasty drink that can be enjoyed with a meal, as food helps with absorption. Supplemental calcium alone is not enough, however. For calcium to be properly absorbed, your body needs additional nutrients. CalciAIM contains the necessary support, including magnesium, vitamins C and D, L-lysine, copper, and zinc.

Although calcium is most often associated with bone health, it is also required for central nervous function, hormone secretion, and proper muscle contraction, which also means that calcium is essential for the functioning of your heart.

AIM also offers greens and essential fatty acids for nutrients that are critical for the proper absorption and utilization of calcium.

Supporting Nutritional Products

AIM LeafGreens™ combines four different types of leaf concentrates—spinach, faba bean, field pea, and barley—and broccoli sprout, providing a wealth of nutrients that includes vitamins, minerals, chlorophyll, and antioxidants such as quercetin, kaempferol, and sulforaphane.

Greens are an essential element of a healthy diet because they deliver nutrients that your body requires to maintain optimal health.

One of the many essential micronutrients that LeafGreens provides is
vitamin K. According to Dr. Bruce Ames’s triage theory (2010), your body prioritizes the use of scarce micronutrients in favor of short-term survival at the expense of long-term health. In other words, if a body system is not getting its necessary daily amount of vitamin K because your body needs it elsewhere, over the long-term, that body-system deficiency becomes a risk factor for the development of degenerative diseases of aging including osteoporosis and atherosclerosis.

In a study published in Menopause International (2011), increased vitamin K intake (for a duration of two to three years) showed a beneficial effect on bone mineral density (BMD) or calculated bone strength, and the most promising results included extra calcium and vitamin D. The study also suggested that a vitamin K deficiency may be associated with cartilage diseases such as osteoarthritis.

AIM BarleyLife® is also a greens option with a rich source of vitamin K.

AIMega® provides an organic seed-oil source of omega-3 and -6 essential fatty acids (EFAs), which are essential for good health. Both EFAs can only come from your diet or through supplementation. The list of their benefits is lengthy, and bone health is just one of many since essential fatty acids promote a calcium balance and increase the absorbability of calcium in the intestine. Research indicates that an EFA-deficiency can lead to osteoporosis along with calcium build-up in the arteries and kidneys*.

For overall good health, maintain your infrastructure by giving your
body all of the building materials it needs for strong, healthy bones.

The importance of essential fatty acids

Posted on by

Every cell in your body requires omega-3 and -6 essentials fatty acids (EFAs) … every day. Fatty acids are the primary building material of your cell membranes, which need to remain permeable for nutrients to enter and waste to exit.

Since your body cannot produce EFAs, it means your diet must include EFA-rich foods, such as salmon, kale, and flax seeds. AIMega® provides a rich source of organic flax seed oil for a balanced 2:1 ratio of omega-3 and -6—a blend that also includes sesame seed, sunflower seed, and olive oils.

Your body has a trigger mechanism that requires a balance of omega-3 and -6. An imbalance of too much omega-6 can create health problems. Supplementing with AIMega can ensure that you always have the proper amounts and balance of these healthy fats.

An omega-3 EFA-deficiency is associated with a long list of health problems, including conditions such as dry skin; brittle fingernails and toenails; dry eyes; and, even far more of a concern, diseases such as arthritis, cancer, and type 2 diabetes.

Essential fatty acids are vital for a long list of functions that include:

  • Maintaining cellular function … it all begins with healthy cells
  • Growing and repairing your cells
  • Regulating blood pressure
  • Balancing hormones
  • Strengthening bones
  • Supporting a strong immune system

Since your body relies on EFAs for so many vital functions, they are essential for maintaining your health and preventing diseases.

By taking AIMega, your body benefits from the inside out. Just ask Christine Miller, AIM Preferred Member in Chapin, South Carolina.

“I took AIMega because essential fatty acids help protect against high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, promote wound healing, and so much more. I was after internal benefits and got external “beauty” benefits as well. In fact, I heard on a webinar that AIMega was the best internal cosmetic.

“My hair has grown thicker and stopped falling out. I have been told my skin is ‘glowing,’ and I am actually wearing much less makeup. And my fingernails, which were ruined from years of applying artificial nails, are strong and healthy-looking. I never expected such great results with my hair, skin, and nails. I credit my ‘beauty benefits’ especially to AIMega. I am sure detoxifying with AIM Herbal Fiberblend®, AIM BarleyLife®, and the other AIM supplements also helped, but I know the AIMega gave me a boost. By the way, I turn forty-eight in June.”

Speedskater Liz Looby boosts her recovery with nutrition

Posted on by

AIM nutrition powered short track speedskater J.R. Celski to win a pair of bronze medals at the 2010 Winter Olympics and helped him recover ahead of schedule after a potentially life-threatening skating injury. Turns out, J.R. isn’t the only skater who has used AIM to return fast and strong from an injury.

Liz Looby from Rochester, New York, sustained a serious injury during a speedskating competition, leaving both her career and mobility in jeopardy. Fortunately, the Loobys connected with J.R. and his dad, AIM Director Bob Celski. A few days after the skating accident, Bob gave Liz a blueprint for a full recovery using AIM nutritional supplements.

“J.R. Celski came back with AIM nutrition to medal at the Olympics,” Liz’s father Michael said. “Liz is doing her best to set an example of her own.”

Liz’s skating career began following the 2006 Winter Olympics after she saw the U.S. speedskating team compete. Her prior sports history had included track, cross country, and skiing in high school. In Rochester, New York, she found a speed skating team that offered a learn-to-skate program. Immediately, she showed promise and competed in eight competitions in her first full season. Liz trained primarily as a short track speedskater.

After high school, Liz chose to attend the University of Utah so that she could be near the U.S. Speedskating team’s facilities in Salt Lake. Her speedskating career took off from there. By August 2009, she had qualified for the short track Olympic time trials. A month later, Liz competed in Marquette, Michigan at the same trials when J.R. was seriously injured.

During a 1,000-meter race in Milwaukee on October 3, 2010, Liz also hit a career crossroads after sustaining a devastating injury that caused extensive damage to the back of her right knee.

“According to the orthopedic and plastic surgeons in Milwaukee,” Michael Looby said, “her injuries included significant lacerations to her hamstring and several tendons and 95 percent severance of the tibial nerve, which is critical to the functioning of the lower leg and to movement and sensation of the foot.”

Orthopedic surgeons repaired several tendons, while a plastic surgeon using microsurgery repaired the gastrocnemius muscle and attempted to realign and suture the tibial nerve. In Milwaukee, doctors told her that it could take two years to know whether or not nerve regeneration would occur.

Liz responded to the injury much the same way J.R. did: with determination, focus, and hard work, and AIM products. Instead of coming home to New York following her care in Milwaukee, she insisted on returning to Salt Lake City to be around her friends and fellow skaters for emotional support as well as to be near the Utah training facility to begin recovery and training. Her enthusiasm to return to the ice was inspiring.

“Even while still in a full leg brace, Liz was back at the (skating) oval, peddling an exercise bike with her good leg and engaging in what she called ‘agility crutching’—attempting to navigate cones on the running track on crutches! “

Liz kept in good spirits, too. She attended her team’s Halloween party—leg brace and all—and went skydiving on her 21st birthday with friends.

At this point in her recovery, Liz and her father found out about the AIM products after meeting Bob Celski in October 2011 through their connections with the U.S. speedskating team.

Liz’s father believes that the key was getting on the AIM product so quickly after her injury.

“Bob called me with both empathy and terrific information about how J.R. and his family had put together a recovery program which relied in great part upon use of several of the AIM products,” Michael said. “We knew from J.R.’s experience that the therapeutic use of several AIM products in combination, proved extremely effective in the recovery of injured muscles and tendons, and we made full use of those as a central part of Liz’s recovery program.”

Even beyond recovery, the Loobys found that AIM products would prove beneficial for long-term use and the continuing regeneration of nerves, which was a problematic area of Liz’s recovery. The products Liz uses include AIM BarleyLife®, AIMega®, AIM CellSparc 360®, AIM LeafGreens®, AIM Herbal Fiberblend®, CalciAIM™, and AIM Peak Endurance®. The Peak Endurance especially proved valuable for the recovery of damaged muscles and tendons in the months immediately following her injury.

Liz’s recovery reached a milestone in October 2011, just one year after her injury. Liz competed in her first 500-meter time trial in long track speedskating, which has become her new focus on the U.S. team. Liz continues training to get a qualifying time for her return to competition before the end of the season (early March 2012).

“Good nutrition with the AIM products, good therapy and other treatments, and an amazingly positive attitude and determination on Liz’s part brought the muscles and tendons around,” Michael said.

“You will see that she has a determination and character much like J.R. Celski. We are hoping that, like J.R., the best is yet to come.”

Her recovery really has been remarkable! Doctors told her that she would never skate again, and I think that made her mad enough to prove them wrong!

Celebrate national nutrition month with greens, fiber, and EFAs

Posted on by

March has arrived, and that means it is National Nutrition Month. Back in 1973, the American Dietetic Association began a week-long campaign that promoted the importance of making healthy food choices, practicing good eating habits, and getting regular physical activity. In 1980, the campaign turned into a month-long event as the awareness of poor nutrition and bad eating habits was linked to the majority of diseases affecting North Americans. The fact that healthy dietary choices can alleviate many chronic conditions emphasizes that the concepts of National Nutrition Month should be a part of a daily routine.

Providing whole-food concentrates and natural health products, The AIM
Companies™ has recognized the importance of nutrition for thirty years. AIM celebrates years of improved-health testimonials from people all around the world. When it comes to selling products, being in the business of helping people improve their health is a worthwhile endeavor and cause for celebration.

The Daily Essentials

In the continuing wisdom of National Nutrition Month, AIM offers the Daily Essentials for healthy nutrition: greens from AIM BarleyLife® or AIM BarleyLife® Xtra, essential fatty acids (EFAs) from AIMega®, and fiber from AIM Herbal Fiberblend® or AIM FibreBalance® (CAN). A healthy diet must include greens, EFAs, and fiber as each provides essential elements that maintain good health on a daily basis.

Get your greens!

The nutrients provided by greens from barley grass juice concentrate include vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, phytonutrients, enzymes, and chlorophyll, all of which can be found in a serving of BarleyLife.

But there is even more to the story. Green foods such as BarleyLife alkalinize your body pH and create an environment in which disease cannot survive. Additionally, a major factor in the onset of disease is chronic inflammation, which is associated with an acidic body pH. BarleyLife greens provide anti-inflammatory benefits that help to protect your health.

To supplement your diet with additional greens, take BarleyLife—a daily essential.

Get your EFAs!

Omega-3 and -6 are two essential fatty acids (EFAs) that must come from dietary intake because they cannot be manufactured by your body. AIMega provides every cell in your body with the EFAs required for cellular growth, function, and repair.

Without essential fatty acids, cell membranes become less permeable,
making it difficult for nutrients to enter your cells and for waste and toxins to exit them. Along with visible signs of aging on your skin, an EFA deficiency has been linked to numerous health conditions, including arthritis, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes.

To ensure you are getting your EFAs, supplement with AIMega—a daily
essential.

Get your fiber!

Fiber cleanses and detoxifies as it slowly moves through your digestive tract, while making you feel satiated at the same time. Herbal Fiberblend or FibreBalance (CAN) provide supplemental fiber to ensure your daily fiber intake is sufficient for good health. The medicinal herbs in both products provide a variety of benefits including those that are anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, laxative, and vermifuge.

Fiber is essential for digested food to move through the intestines, where nutrients are extracted before the remaining waste is eliminated from the body. Without fiber, the entire digestive process grinds to a halt, resulting in constipation. A high-fiber intake is essential for maintaining good health and preventing health concerns, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and high blood sugar; and diseases, such as cancer, diabetes, and heart disease.

If the Daily Essentials are not already a part of your diet, start this National Nutrition Month and make them an essential part of your day.

I take the AIM Daily Essentials every day. I started taking BarleyLife, AIMega, and Herbal Fiberblend about four years ago, and within 6 weeks, I began to feel a difference. Occasionally my routine is shaken up, so I cannot take my products (or I forget). I immediately notice a lack of energy, poor digestion, and pain in my joints. To me, my Daily Essentials are as valuable as the gold I am holding in my hand in the picture. Thanks, AIM, for helping me get back into form and to God for creating such amazing foods that heal us.

How to keep your heart healthy

Posted on by

In the “Land of Smiles,” the people of Thailand use the word “heart” in over 700 words and phrases of their native language. It shows that they do not separate the heart and mind when expressing their thoughts and emotions. This was once a belief in early western philosophy that is echoed in English words such as heartbroken and heartwarming. However, we should never separate the health of our hearts from the state of our overall well-being. Our lives depend on it.

The AIM Heart Health Pack

Many factors can affect our hearts including our choices about lifestyle, exercise, and diet. Good nutrition is essential, and the AIM Heart Health Pack (5582E US / 5559E CAN), optimizes a healthy diet with four nutrient-rich products that work even better together to support the hardest-working organ in the body. Available to all AIM Members, the price of this Starter Pack is less expensive than purchasing the four “Heart Health” products separately.

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10)

AIM CellSparc 360® provides supplemental coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), an antioxidant that is produced by our bodies although less so as we age. CoQ10 sparks the production of cellular energy, which the heart requires more of than any other organ. On top of being vital to energy production, CoQ10 combats inflammation—a risk factor in diseases of the heart.

Supplementing with CellSparc can be preventative or correct a CoQ10 deficiency. A Mayo Clinic report indicates that patients with heart conditions have low levels of CoQ10. Additionally, taking statin drugs to lower cholesterol can also lower CoQ10 levels by up to 40 percent.

The CellSparc 360 formula also contains fish oil (omega-3) and tocotrienols (vitamin E), both of which are associated with lower rates of heart disease.

Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs)

AIMega® provides an organic seed-oil source of omega-3 and -6 essential fatty acids. EFAs cannot be manufactured by our bodies, so they must be a part of our diets. The health of every one of our cells depends on a daily supply for cellular growth, activity, and repair.

Along with controlling inflammation, omega-3 can help to decrease the risk factors of cardiovascular disease including high triglycerides, high blood pressure, and platelet stickiness (which can lead to the formation of blood clots).

Garlic

AIM Bear Paw Garlic® (US) or AIM Kyolic® Aged Garlic Extract™ (CAN) provide a
supplemental source of garlic, a natural food that is good for our hearts. Garlic has antiinflammatory properties and can help to reduce cholesterol and blood pressure levels. It also supports the heart’s prime objective: healthy blood circulation. Like omega-3, garlic reduces platelet stickiness, so it lowers the risk of heart attack and stroke from blood clots.

Fiber

Either AIM fit ’n fiber® (US) or FibreBalance® (CAN) add supplemental fiber to our diets. A Harvard study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) concluded that fiber, independent of fat intake, is an important dietary component for the prevention of coronary disease.

Along with reducing inflammation, cleansing the digestive tract, and eliminating toxins from the body, fiber lowers cholesterol and triglyceride levels, decreases high blood pressure, and normalizes blood sugar levels.

When examining our diets, we should consider foods that contain fiber since most of us are not getting enough. A low-fiber intake is a contributing factor to heart problems and many other health conditions, so adding a daily serving (or two) of fit ’n fiber or FibreBalance can contribute to health improvement.

The Heart Health Pack is like a small army that combats inflammation and protects the heart … and mind. Start defending today.

Recently I had a physical examination from my family doctor, who suggested that I have an EKG. After the exam, he said that the results were absolutely perfect. I take one or two CellSparc 360 capsules each day with meals. I really believe it helps. I am seventy-five years young and very active. I thank AIM for all of their products. Ignore your health, and it will go away.

Protect your health from winter illness

Posted on by

It’s a refrigerator out there! The balmy days of summer are a distant memory
as you step outside your door and face a cold blast of wintry air that chills you to the bone. Before you step out into the cold, there are three other steps you should take to recover from the onslaught of attacks on your immune system. It all begins with the 3 Daily Essentials from AIM.

3 Daily Essentials

Think GEF — Greens, Essential fatty acids, and Fiber — as the three daily essentials that your body requires to stay healthy. AIM provides all three in the economically-priced Daily Essentials packs.

Greens from AIM BarleyLife® or AIM BarleyLife® Xtra provide a wealth of vital nutrients from the juice powder of young barley plants—a whole-food concentrate to supplement a diet that should include lots of vegetables.

Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) from the organic seed oils in AIMega® provide a balanced source of omega-3 and -6 that your body must get from a dietary source. Your cells require a daily supply of EFAs to keep them healthy and to ensure that your body is functioning optimally from the inside out.

Fiber from AIM Herbal Fiberblend® or AIM FibreBalance® (CAN) provides an essential component of a healthy diet that reduces your risk of numerous health problems. AIM’s fiber products go beyond supplemental fiber with a carefully selected group of herbs that cleanse, detoxify, and contribute to regularity.

Rest

The rest you get from relaxing and sleeping is essential for staying well. If you are battling a cold or the flu, getting enough rest gives your immune system a helping hand in getting you back on your feet to healthily brave the cold.

Research on sleep, which largely remains a mystery of the human condition, shows that while you are sleeping, your body goes into improvement mode: repairing and regenerating tissue, building muscle and bone, and strengthening your immune system.

Repair

Your body finds the material it requires to repair itself in the nutrients that you supply on a daily basis. This is why it is vital to repair your body with only the finest building materials. AIM products such as The Daily Essentials are just that.

When you supplement your diet with nutrient-rich greens, essential fatty acids, and cleansing fiber, you give your body the material it needs to repair damage from inflammation, oxidative stress, and immune dysfunction, all three of which tend to increase during the winter months.

Restore

Whether you are recovering from an illness or a hard day, your body can restore itself to a healthy state. You can be a positive part of the restoration by taking additional AIM products to rest, repair, and restore.

The herbal formula of AIM Composure® provides a natural answer for relieving stress and putting your mind at ease for a good night’s sleep.

AIM Proancynol® 2000 is the ultimate antioxidant formula for preventing and repairing the damage caused by free radicals. The probiotic formula of AIM FloraFood® restores the balance of healthy bacteria in your intestinal tract—70 percent of your immune system is in the colon.

AIM can help you make it through the winters of life step by step. And remember, you do not have to be sick. Prevention is the key to staying well, so rest, repair, and restore.

If I begin to experience any cold symptoms, I increase my 2 teaspoons of BarleyLife twice a day to 1 tablespoon 4 times a day. Within 24 to 48 hours, I’m feeling tip top again. I have also been taking Herbal Fiberblend for years and feel I could not live without it. After talking to Rose Bird (AIM Canada General Manager) at a local meeting, I increased my dosage of AIMega, which I knew was good in so many ways for you. Now my hair is so soft and shiny that I rarely use any conditioner.

Most important, my husband Kevin was able to reduce his prostate-specific antigen (PSA) number from 7 to 3 after taking the Daily Essentials for one month. His specialist had said that diet would not make a difference and wanted to do a biopsy because a number over 4 might indicate prostate cancer.

AIM works in many ways!

  • 1 cup Activia yogurt

 Instructions:

Using a personal mixer, add all ingredients except AIMega. Bite the tips of the AIMega capsules and squeeze the contents into the mixture. Mix thoroughly. Pour into 20 oz disposable cup. On the side, swallow one Cellsparc 360 capsule with a small amount of water. Grab your cup of breakfast and hit the road.

Note: The idea is “Whatever you have on-hand”. If you have some oats, sprinkle them in. Banana? Crushed walnuts… why not? Got some juice in the frig… pour a bit in. Open a PrepZyme capsule and dump it in. Whatever comes to mind that you have, be flexible and keep it convenient. That’s what bachelors do!
