Summertime and the living is easy … and active. It’s a time of picnics and barbecues to be enjoyed in warm weather under blue skies. Traveling, camping, and hiking are just a few seasonal interests that translate into being on the go. When you are busily involved in summer activities, there can be a tendency to forget about healthy eating. Instead of grabbing fast food and soft drinks, make a decision to keep your nutrition up this summer.
With vegetable gardens already in bloom, some of the best food that nature has to offer grows beneath the summer sun. This is why the harvest of nutrients in the AIM Garden Trio® has been available to AIM Members for over two decades … no matter what the season. Comprised of AIM BarleyLife®, AIM Just Carrots®, and AIM RediBeets®, this trio of whole-food powder concentrates is also a harvest of energy for the get-up-and-go you’ll need for a summer full of fun.
When you take energizing BarleyLife on an empty stomach every day, it’s like saying, “I love you, my tummy.” Of course, you don’t have to say this out loud (unless you feel you must …) because actions speak louder than words. And the action of putting BarleyLife’s vitamins, minerals, chlorophyll, antioxidants, and so much more into your empty stomach is like depositing green, liquid gold into your body’s good health bank account. Of course, you can also mix it with Just Carrots and RediBeets, or you can think of them as a three-course meal to be savored individually and power you for whatever summertime has to offer.
AIM also offers something extra for those who enjoy their BarleyLife on the sweeter side.
AIM BarleyLife® Xtra provides the nutritional richness of BarleyLife with a combination of seventeen fruit and vegetable powders that help sweeten the pot. Add some crushed ice, cold water, and BarleyLife Xtra to a Nutrition That Works! Blender Bottle (5818E) and shake up a delightfully refreshing, summer beverage.
Along with an energy boost of natural vitamins and minerals, Just Carrots provides visionary nutrients to help you keep your eye on what’s coming at you on the baseball field of life … or maybe just a curveball during a baseball game on a summer’s eve. Carrots provide a trio of eye-quenching antioxidants — beta carotene, alpha-carotene, and lutein—that protect your body and eyes from free radical damage. And Just Carrots’s concentrated juice powder puts these potent protectors to work in a refreshing summer beverage—just mix with cold water and drink.
When you’re feeling beat on a hot summer’s day, RediBeets can be the deep red, refreshing boost of nutrition that your body needs to get back in the game. Besides a rich source of vitamins and minerals, you can’t beat beets as a vegetable source of powerful antioxidants known as betalains. An abstract published online by Pub Med reports that because of betalains, “red beet products used regularly in the diet may provide protection against certain oxidative stress-related disorders in humans.” Although this sounds far too serious for a summer full of fun, get serious about the benefits of RediBeets.
Keeping nutrition UP this summer and throughout the year is vital to living well. If aging and disease are seen as an impenetrable lock, one of the keys to prevention or reversal is giving your body the widest variety of antioxidants that you can. The Garden Trio gives you this in spades along with a vegetable source of nutritional wealth that your body cannot afford to be without … whatever the season of your life.
I joined The AIM Companies™ on March 30, 1998. I had been taking the Garden Trio before that for about a year or two. I have faithfully taken it every day since then with exception of vacations or when I don’t get a chance to, but mostly I do. The Garden trio is a great way to start the day for me as it supplies all my necessary nutrients. I sometimes go all morning into the afternoon with just that. Sometimes I eat breakfast when I have time. I am sixty-four years young, and basically I feel great. I work part-time and take care of my mother who is ninety. My husband also takes the Garden Trio. He starts his morning
with it before he goes to work. He is seventy years young.

It comes as no surprise that North Americans do not consume enough vegetables. As recently as 2010, a report claimed that barely a quarter of adults reach three or more servings per day, let alone the suggested nine servings per day. But what may come as a surprise to many is how easy it is to get to nine servings. All it takes is a little help from AIM.
AIM’s collection of whole-food concentrates includes the AIM Garden Trio®—
AIM BarleyLife®, AIM Just Carrots®, and AIM RediBeets®—and newcomer AIM Veggie D™, which was introduced to the product lineup this spring. Combined, the four products make it easy for the average adult to get the recommended nine servings of fruit and vegetables each day. And with the savory flavor of Veggie D, the concentrates mixed together have a full, robust flavor that makes getting your veggies that much easier, and tastier.
Veggie D features 126 percent of the U.S. Daily Recommended Intake of vitamin D from an all-natural, vegan source—mushrooms. The shiitake and button mushroom blend combines with lycopene-rich tomato powder and twelve vegetable powders to make a savory drink mix that tastes great on its own,
or mixed into sauces and soups.
Each of the four vegetable concentrates fit within the whole-food concept, helping to keep nutrition at a maximum by providing only whole vegetable ingredients—no need for added vitamin or mineral mixes. Likewise, the whole-food flavors complement each other nicely. For instance, the Veggie D blend helps cut the sweetness of the Trio (from natural sugar in the vegetables), making for a milder taste.
If you are already taking the Garden Trio, adding Veggie D would give it a tasty, healthful boost.
Another way to increase vegetable servings would be to include Veggie D in your favorite recipes. Mixing Veggie D into favorite recipes not only adds a new taste profile but also additional healthy ingredients. Heating enhances the bioavailability of the lycopene in Veggie D by four times, and it contains many heat-stable minerals and vitamins, including vitamin D, potassium, iron, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, copper, and manganese. As well, the gluten-free allpurpose flour and pizza crust mix offer a great opportunity to be creative with AIM products.
If you or someone you know has trouble reaching the right amount of vegetable servings per day, give AIM’s whole-food concentrates a try, and taste what a difference AIM nutrition can make.
The name says it all: AIM Just Carrots® supplements your diet with the concentrated juice powder of carrots—and for a good reason. Carrots are a rich source of beta-carotene, a carotenoid antioxidant necessary for the production of vitamin A. And there are even more antioxidants in carrots, including alphacarotene and lutein.
Antioxidants boost your immune system by protecting against free radicals, which create systemic inflammation—a major cause of disease and accelerated aging. With Just Carrots, you get the wealth of protective antioxidants and other phytonutrients found in raw carrots without having to juice them yourself. AIM uses a juicing process that removes the natural fiber in carrots, leaving easily absorbed nutrients. By mixing the fiber-less juice powder in water, you have concentrated carrots in a glass—nutrition for your overall health, and, in particular, nutrients that are essential for your eyes and skin.
For over eighteen months I had a yeast infection in my ears, which required trips to the ENT every six weeks for debridment and acid drops every morning and night. I had acquired the infection through hair dye, and the doctor said I would have it the rest of my life. I was miserable. I had been taking BarleyLife since 1995, and since I’d always heard juicing carrots was good, I started the recommended 1 tablespoon of Just Carrots daily. Within 5 weeks, my yeast infection was completely gone! At my follow-up visit to the doctor, he looked into my ears and asked, “What did you do?” Once I told him, he stated, “It’s the beta-carotene. I’ve seen this happen before in people who juice.” That left no doubt in my mind from that day on. I will take JustCarrots the rest of my life!

I have used Just Carrots daily for about fifteen years. On a recent visit to an ophthalmologist, he commented that I had the best retinas he had ever seen. I asked, “You mean for a fiftys-ix-year-old?” He said. “No, they are the best I’ve ever seen.” My husband’s jaw dropped, and I tried not to
look too smug. But I sure felt smug!
