Beet juice helps in creation of red blood cells

Posted on by

 

New studies show the benefits don’t stop there.

Recent research has found that the increased blood flow can have a positive impact on brain health, too. Scientists at Wake Forest University in Winsont-Salem, North Carolina, determined that the increased blood flow to the brain due to beet supplementation improved brain health and helped lower the risk of dementia. Their study involved participants age seventy and over who alternated between breakfasts high in nitrates (a naturally occurring form of nitrogen) and low in nitrates.Measurements of each group of participants showed that the high-nitrate diet boosted blood flow to the white matter of the frontal lobes, a location often associated with dementia.

The brain boosting power of beets goes right along with a long list of other beet benefits. For example, an improvement in circulation brought on by beet nutrients correlates to a lowered risk of high blood pressure. And not to mention the fact that beets increase the body’s production of glutathione, which helps with detoxification.

The list goes on, and the benefits can be traced to the remarkable amount of nutrition found in this vegetable. Not only do you receive the benefits of concentrated nutrients you also receive the full benefit of easy assimilation.

AIM RediBeets® provides the juicing benefitswithout the juicing cost. One of three all-natural, vegetable juice powder concentrates that make up the AIm Garden Trio®, Redibeets packs a halfpound of beets into a single serving. Combined with the benefits of barley and carrots, the Garden Trio provides a full range of vitamins and nutrients that can get your blood flowing and boost your brain power.

 

 

The Sense of Ginkgo

Posted on by

Since the dawn of time, nature has provided all of our nutritional and medicinal needs. As a woman matures, these needs become even more important for maintaining good health and slowing down the effects of time on her body. AIM GinkgoSense™ provides anti-aging support from nature’s bounty.

AIM GinkgoSense

One of nature’s most extensively researched herbs comes from one of the oldest living tree species – the ginkgo (Ginkgo biloba), which gives GinkgoSense its name. Hundreds of clinical studies have shown that ginkgo biloba leaf extract helps to improve circulation, memory, vision, and other age-related conditions.

By providing potent antioxidants, ginkgo protects your body against the damaging effects of free radicals. Antioxidants are your best defense against aging, so do not wait to take the necessary steps to protect yourself.

GinkgoSense also provides the anti-aging benefits from bilberry fruit extract, fish oil, and lutein (from marigold flower extract). The synergistic effect of these ingredients creates a more effective natural health product.

Improves circulation

Proper blood circulation is essential for carrying oxygen and nutrients to wherever needed in your body. In an average adult, five litres of blood entirely circulate the body at rest in about one minute. In twenty-four hours, this occurs approximately 1,440 times.

As a woman ages, poor circulation can become an issue, particularly for the outer extremities: head, hands, and feet. Exercising on a regular basis contributes to healthy blood flow. And supplementing with GinkgoSense may provide a natural way to maintain optimal circulation for cardiovascular support and improved blood flow to the brain and eyes for better memory and vision.

Improves memory

Poor memory is often associated with aging. But memory loss does not have to be a part of getting older. Keep mentally active because you are never too old to learn something new or add to your lifetime of knowledge. As for supplemental support, GinkgoSense is the perfect choice.

Ginkgo is commonly used in Europe for memory conditions such as dementia. As well as the benefits of improving blood flow to the brain, studies indicate that ginkgo may reduce the effects of Alzheimer’s disease.

Taking GinkgoSense is a preventative step that may help to improve and enhance your memory.

Improves vision 

Sometimes age can bring about a blurry or obstructed view of the world or the printed page. When it comes to healthy vision, the eyes have it with the support from GingkoSense. Ginkgo, bilberry, fish oil, and lutein may work together to help protect against age-related macular degeneration and cataracts by improving blood flow to the eyes and protecting against free radical damage.

Improves years

Time can take its toll. AIM offers natural health products like GinkgoSense to help women maintain good health throughout a lifetime. Besides, living well simply makes sense!

Don't let your brain cells die without a fight

Posted on by

Alzheimer’s disease is now the most common form of dementia, a term that refers to the loss of memory and other intellectual abilities.

Alzheimer’s occurs as a result of dying brain cells. As we age, the brain, along with the rest of our body, changes, and we can often experience occasional forgetfulness or slowed thinking. For a person with Alzheimer’s, tiny mistakes intensify into serious memory loss, confusion, and brain damage.

Two possible causes of damage to brain function are plaques and tangles. Plaques, which contain a protein called beta-amyloid, are found between nerve cells; tangles, a form of the protein tau, reside inside dying cells. Together, plaques and tangles can disrupt the communication from cell to cell and damage the nerve network.

While there is no cure for Alzheimer’s, there have been several treatment options that have taken ground across the country.

Perhaps the most popular supplement for brain function is Ginkgo biloba, which is found in AIM GinkgoSense™. Ginkgo biloba has both antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which would allow it to protect and regulate the important brain cells that become susceptible to Alzheimer’s.

GinkgoSense offers 120 mg of the Ginkgo extract in each capsule, yet it is far from the only brain-aiding supplement found in the product.

GinkgoSense also contains docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), an essential fatty acid and the building block of human brain tissue. Sixty percent of the brain is fat, and DHA is the most abundant fat in the brain. DHA’s most important role might be its hand in the communication between the brain and nervous system. Like many brain components, DHA decreases and breaks down with age, so replenishing our bodies’ natural supply becomes more important as we get older.

In addition to Ginkgo biloba and DHA fatty acids, GinkgoSense also combines bilberry, lutein, and zeaxanthin. Together, the ingredients can help increase brain function, improve circulation, and blood flow. Janet Breitkreutz

Increasing cardiovascular health and the circulation of blood throughout the body could certainly make a difference in the fight against Alzheimer’s. As Janet stated in her testimony, the benefits of an improved blood supply are good for the whole body, including the brain.

As such, coenzyme Q10 could be an important supplement for those concerned about Alzheimer’s disease. CoQ10, also called ubiquinone, is a vital antioxidant that the body uses for increased oxygenation of cells and the generation of energy. Peak EnduranceIts role in the process of normal cell reactions relates to the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the body’s primary source of energy and the key component of AIM Peak Endurance®. CoQ10 is present in cell membranes where the conversion process of food to energy occurs.

Research shows that CoQ10 might also be an important factor in reducing the buildup of plaque in the brain. Since some plaque deposits result from an abundance of brain cell damage from oxidative stress, CoQ10 might be able to lessen the effect thanks to its protection against oxidation.

CoQ10’s role in building cells, creating energy, and cardio health makes it a valuable resource for those interested in dealing with Alzheimer’s. AIM Cellsparc 360® contains 60 mg of CoQ10 in each capsule, and thanks to its formulation with tocotrienols and fish oil, Cellsparc 360 is a health product like no other on the market.Wendell Wamboldt

Omega fatty acids have been credited with a lot of health benefits, everything from lowering blood pressure, improving skin, and enhancing anti-inflammatory response. They also may be a key to brain health.

Omega-3 fatty acids might be effective for strengthening nerve cells, an area that is often where the breakdown in Alzheimer’s occurs. Researchers found that omega-3s improve the growth of bridges between cells, which can help create a strong bond in the brain. This bond would play a part in improving the brain’s capacity to store, process, and retrieve information.

AIMegaAIMega® contains omega-3, -6, and -9 fatty acids derived from flax, sesame, olive, and sunflower oils. Fatty acids, like the DHA in GinkgoSense, help improve brain function, maintain healthy cells, and protect against cardiovascular disease – all of which could make a difference in the fight against Alzheimer’s.

With so many different theories on what might be the cause of Alzheimer’s, there is just as much variety with theories on how to prevent or decrease its symptoms. One way is to reduce the prevalence of free radicals in the body, especially as it relates to the passing of blood to the brain and cells in the brain.

ProancynolThis may be why people have been turning to grape seed extract for Alzheimer’s help. Grape seed extract is one of the most effective supplements for fighting free radicals in the body. It is a powerful antioxidant that has been shown to remain in the body for three full days, working to clean our system and fight off free radical damage. Even better, grape seed extract is more powerful than both vitamins C and E.

Grape seed extract can be found in AIM Proancynol® 2000, which combines the extract with green tea, N-acetylcysteine, alpha-lipolic acid, selenium, rosemary, and lycopene. Using a synergistic formula, Proancynol 2000 makes sure you get the most out of each ingredient thanks to the unique way that the nutrients work together and complement one another.

Fitness can be as simple as counting

Posted on by

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.barleylife

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.Anna Ireland

“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.”

twoCalciAIM™: 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.

caliaimPrior 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.Joyce Janzen

“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.”three

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.Peak Endurance

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.Jill Schneider

“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!”

Physical fitness is a year-round commitment that you pursue outside the gym and far beyond May – Physical Fitness Month. That’s why AIM provides products to help people live active lifestyles in healthier ways. Whether you find yourself on the court, at home, or at the top of a mountain, the trio of AIM BarleyLife®, CalciAIM™, and AIM Peak Endurance® will help you achieve your fitness goals.
