3 steps to living well
Eliminate
Make lifestyle choices that result in optimum health. Exercise regularly, get enough quality sleep and eliminate toxic stress in your life. Of course, don’t smoke, drink to excess or abuse drugs. Regularly cleansing the body of toxins (detoxification) is vital. Toxins can be eliminated from the body with the right foods and AIM products.
Nourish
Eat a balanced, whole-food diet that is primarily plant-based. Avoid overeating and large portions. Drink eight glasses of pure water daily, and use AIM whole-food concentrates and supplements to help nourish your cells, enabling them to operate at peak efficiency.
Replenish
Our bodies often require nutritional supplementation to replenish vital nutrients. The AIM Companies offers a variety of products to assist with your nutritional intake and health.
To improve the quality and productivity of people’s lives by promoting the Healthy Cell Concept and the highest principles of free enterprise.

Healthcare Begins at Home
We all owe it to ourselves to live life in a way that promotes good health, especially with the increasingly high cost of healthcare. Lifestyle factors make a difference. Wholesome dietary intake and regular exercise are key foundational moves that keep our bodies healthy.
Most important of all is likely the nutritional moves we make. Wholesome nutrition builds and maintains healthy cells, which are the building blocks of a healthy body. Then there’s the AIM factor on nutritional intake: optimizing the consumption of nutrients and phytonutrients with plant-based nutrition that works.
We have to start by making healthy food selections because AIM is about supplemental nutrition from concentrated whole-food powders and dietary supplements. There’s that word again: supplements. AIM supplements food intake with nutritious products that can make a healthily huge difference.
Taking AIM nutrition is investing in your health. AIM products cost money, but paying for nutrition that works is a far better option
BarleyLife 360 g powder
than paying for the alternative after your health is compromised. And given the rising expense of healthcare, it is all the more important to maintain well-being and prevent ill health.
Taking BarleyLife every day is just one example of nutrition that works from AIM. The simple move of ingesting the unique nutrition that can be found only in young leaves of barley grass can make a significantly healthy difference in the body, right down to the cellular level… where good health begins.
The goal of using AIM’s supplemental nutrition as a lifestyle factor is to assist the body in replicating cells that are healthy from the start and maintaining that inner wellness. In doing so, it provides preventative healthcare where it counts the most.
BarleyLife Delivers Results
The BarleyLife family of products continues to make people feel and live better, and these healthy results affirm nutrition that works from AIM. The following testimonials show how health improvements vary from individual to individual, whether a person takes BarleyLife, BarleyLife Xtra or BarleyLife capsules. They all work!
I personally take BarleyLife powder and BarleyLife Xtra every day to keep my body alkaline, especially for my joint pain, thyroid health and general well-being. I am lazy to eat fruit, so, thanks to BarleyLife Xtra, I get my fruit and vegetable nutrients in my glass of smoothie. I cannot do without my BarleyLife.

AIM Director in Durban, South Africa
I work my body and feet a lot of the time, and when I skip BarleyLife for a few days, I believe that I feel more soreness.
Fred Harris
AIM Wholesale Member in Stuarts Draft, Virginia
My mom's husband takes BarleyLife capsules. After 6 weeks of taking them, his moles and skintags over his entire body started to fall off. BarleyLife is our family's lifeline. We love our BarleyLife and can't live without it.
Marilize Kukkuk
AIM Director in Pretoria, South Africa
I used to be a school bus driver. One day, I took a class on a field trip. On the way there, three kids got sick, one at a time. I thought it was motion sickness and was more conscientious, even stopping and starting. After dropping off the students, I proceeded to clean up all the vomit. Leaning across a seat, trying to keep my hair out of the mess, a parent chaperone said, "I'm so glad you can clean this up. I sure couldn't." I responded that I used to get motion sickness, and I could sympathize with the kids. The person replied, "Oh, these kids weren’t sick because of motion sickness; the whole class has had the flu!" I never got sick, even after being trapped in a busload of flu germs. I also overheard my regular students talking about me one day, saying, "Other bus drivers take so much time off. Ingrid never does. She's never sick." I attribute that to my morning serving of BarleyLife.

Healthy Cell Mitochondria
Granules
Outer
Just as your body has organs with specific roles, your cells have organelles with important functions. These capsule-shaped structures within cells include nuclei that contain your genetic information and ribosomes that assemble your proteins. The deeper that research is directed at the significance of healthy cells, the more scientific attention is focused on mitochondria: organelles that act like the power generators of your body.
Mitochondria produce most of the energy that allows your body to survive and thrive. Each mitochondrion produces a chemical form of energy known as ATP, the abbreviation of adenosine triphosphate. ATP is said to be the energy currency that keeps your body going, just as money is a currency that keeps your lifestyle going.
The amount of energy required by your cells determines the number of mitochondria they contain. For example, there are likely hundreds to thousands of mitochondria in muscle cells, and your heart is a muscular organ that requires a multitude of these tiny generators of power for a lifetime of non-stop pumping.
One of the fascinating structural aspects of mitochondria is their unique set of 37 genes, which are inherited from your mother, via the egg cell. Along with being the only organelles with their own genome, mitochondria control various functions throughout your body with signaling molecules that circulate in the bloodstream. During stressful times, mitochondria can react by changing their shape or splitting, which helps your cells to adapt. These organelles can also jump-start the process of removing any damaged cells.
Research has shown that mitochondrial function is affected by health conditions, as well as aging although not the process of aging alone. The older people get, the less active they tend to be, and this reduces mitochondrial function.
That’s why lifelong exercise is a big factor in maintaining mitochondria for a long lifetime. Movement in any form qualifies as beneficial exercise for mitochondria. Of course, consuming wholesome sources of nutrition for these organelles to produce energy is of utmost importance. Exercise and food are two of the five avenues that define the AIM Healthy Cell Concept that also works as solid support for your mitochondria.

In this Issue, AIM Spotlight focuses on CranVerryPlus and the berry that suggested its name. As the primary ingredient, cranberry extract delivers potent antioxidant activity that makes this natural health product so body protective, especially for the urinary tract.
AIM Spotlight on CranVerryPlus
The nutritional components and bioactive compounds in cranberries made the extract of Vaccinium macrocarpon a unique ingredient choice for a standalone natural health product in the AIM lineup. Most people know these crimson red berries as the main ingredient of a beverage or seasonal sauce. As the primary ingredient of CranVerryPlus, cranberry extract provides a variety of benefits for the body, especially the health of the urinary system of women and men.
To begin with healthy color, anthocyanins are the polyphenol pigments in cranberries that create their crimson red hue. Beyond pigmentation, anthocyanins are flavonoids that combat oxidative stress by scavenging free radicals and by activating the body's own antioxidant defenses.
The presence of proanthocyanidins in cranberries is to protect the entire plant from invasive creatures such as microbial pathogens. When these cranberry flavonoids are ingested by humans, the inflammation-fighting proanthocyanidins prevent pathogenic bacteria from sticking to the walls of the urinary tract and causing irritation.
CranVerryPlus delivers a significant source of anthocyanins. The recommended serving size of 2 capsules provides roughly the same amount of anthocyanins as 65.5 oz (1,940 ml) of cranberry juice. This impressive concentration of anthocyanins in CranVerryPlus capsules is just one part of the formulation.
It continues with the power of PACS, short for proanthocyanidins, polyphenol compounds that also fall under the flavonoid umbrella of beneficial phytonutrients. All parts of the actual cranberry are used to make the extract that goes into CranVerryPlus, and proanthocyanidins are found in the skin, seeds and core of cranberries.
As time goes on, research on cranberries has expanded to reveal other benefits, including those for dental, gut and heart health. More pluses for CranVerryPlus and worthy of spotlighting.

Weight Off!
C, vitamin B6, potassium, protein and fiber but with no added fat or sodium.
Good health and ideal body weight go hand in hand. For the vast majority of people, losing weight happens by burning off more calories than they consume. Calories are simply units of energy measurement from nutritional choices, and the cells of the body make energy primarily from the carbohydrates, fats and proteins in those choices. Maintaining healthy cells and optimal cellular function requires healthy food choices, which in turn contribute to maintaining an ideal body weight.
Calorie-dense nutrition can make people gain weight because their caloric intake is greater than the calories they can burn off. Ultra-processed and fast foods are nutrient-deficient and high in sugar, salt, fat and calories.
Nutrient-dense nutrition that includes a variety of whole plant-based foods helps people to lose weight because it provides a natural balance of vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, fat, natural sugar, etc., promoting satiety with fewer calories.
It's important to choose healthy plant-based sources of food. For example, a whole baked or boiled potato is nutrient-dense, providing vitamin
Potato chips are plant-based but low in nutrients and high in sodium, fat and calories. Choices matter when trying to lose weight and prevent it from returning.
AIM for a Sensible Calorie Deficit
Daily calorie needs can range from 1,600 to 3,000, depending on age, sex, height, weight and exercise habits. A deficit of about 500 calories per day results in weight loss of about 0.5–0.9 kg a week. It's a healthy aim.
Increasing the amount of physical activity you do daily also contributes to a calorie deficit, even burning off those 500 calories daily. Intermixing wholesome nutrition and exercise is a great combination for weight loss.
Staying on track with weight loss and fitness isn’t always easy—but AIM is here to help. Our range of Weight Management Packs provides Members and Customers with the nutritional support they need to keep moving toward their goals.
Healthful Tips
AIM suggests using an Automatic Monthly Reorder to help ensure you have the nutritional products on hand to help maintain satiety and healthy weight loss.
Check the " Weight Loss" section on the AIM website for our helpful WeightLoss Guide and BMI / BMR calculators to help learn about your specific calorie intake needs for healthy weight loss.
MenoPause: The Joys of It!
By Janine Durrant - AIM Blue Diamond Director
It happened like this for me. I started my AIM journey by taking small amounts of BarleyLife and so my "awakening" to the nutritional approach began. What astounded me then and remains my lighthouse today is how accurately my body sends signs and signals alerting me to an underlying cause.
I was privileged to be at the AIM Conference when AIMega was launched, and I have used it as my supplemental source of essential fatty acids (EFAs) ever since. AIM Members often say things like, "I love AIMega and BarleyLife," and I am right there too.
Years into navigating my health journey, I thought I was the unlucky one, entering perimenopause with night sweats, consequent sleep disturbances and a sudden whack of mood swings at quite a young age. I doubled up on Renewed Balance Cream, Composure and my daily regulars, such as the Starter Pack. Nothing changed, except I had great, sustained energy and could cope with my day even though I was not sleeping through the night.
Frustrated and confused, I decided to reach for Peak Endurance. And as quickly as my symptoms had come, so they left. What a relief, never to return thankfully, and my balance normalized. I was in my mid-40s, and for the following few years, I was free of all symptoms.
Then, as it happens for so many of us, life dealt a blow, and I had to gather the courage to navigate the storm. My storm led me straight into menopause. It was a challenging time emotionally and physically, but spiritually it was a most profound and defining moment. I am forever grateful to have stepped into and through this phase with AIM and my faith.
Testimonials
A daily routine of downtime soaking my feet in Mag-nificence CWR and replenishing my body with Peak Endurance helped. I also discovered how delicious and powerful it is to add RediBeets to Peak Endurance. My daily AIM routine was a vital and noticeable part of my pursuit of health and wellness, as I embraced this surprisingly freeing and settling phase just as naturally as it had come.
The naturally occurring menopause hormonal stage in the life of a woman happens slap bang in the midst when life is shifting her to her next. Her children are leaving home, grandbabies are entering her life and heart, and her parents are embarking on their next and new. All the while, her body is shifting and empowering another control room for hormone balance.
Brain health, as opposed to just mental health, should be taken seriously. In my experience, nothing compares to the comprehensive effectiveness of pure nature in concentrated supplement form. My motto is: but first, supplement. A nourished body is a powerhouse. Mental health is much more within reach when the nutrient basics are in place. And mental health is everything. Our attitude creates our world.
The nutrient support offered in the mix of AIM supplements is a treasure. Our AIM nutritional supplements are concentrated forms of nourishing nutrients. They cleanse, restore, reboot and rejuvenate our bodies. Life is made of ups and downs. Our environments remain a challenge, but nature has solutions and replies.
This is why I choose AIM. And now, being on the 60-something side of life, I can look back and say I have not lacked nor been disappointed in this choice.

AIMega’s Omega-6 Essential Fatty Acids
The AIMega formulation is characterized by organic seed oils that provide plant-based sources of omega-3 and -6. Both are essential fatty acids that the human body cannot synthesize, so omega-3 and -6 must be a part of a person’s dietary intake.
AIMega offers a supplemental source of these good fats that are vital for the healthy structure and function of cell membranes, along with essential support for various body systems and modulation of the inflammatory response.
An imbalanced intake is problematic, which is why AIMega delivers twice the amount of omega-3 over -6 in each capsule.
Lately, omega-6 as linoleic acid (LA) sourced from seed oils has been getting a lot of unscientific “inflammatory” heat on social media platforms, where misinformation flourishes. It’s the ultra-processed foods that are unhealthy, not necessarily the seed oils in these poor sources of nutrition.
AIMega 120 gelatin capsules
LA is actually a healthy polyunsaturated fat, but most people get far too much omega- 6 in their dietary intake compared to omega-3. It’s a case of too much of a good thing, not that omega-6 is bad for people.
Part of the misconceptions surrounding omega-6 is the early research that emphasized its role in increasing inflammation and omega-3’s in reducing it. The latest research reveals that omega-6 produces inflammation-fighting molecules, making LA more likely to be anti-inflammatory than pro-inflammatory.¹
Again, it’s primarily about healthy sources of omega-6 and the balance between the intake of omega-3 and -6. The coldpressed, organic seed oils of flax, sunflower and sesame deliver the primary sources of these essential fatty acids in AIMega. The presence of organic olive oil also contributes a small amount of omega-6, along with its rich source of inflammation-fighting omega-9 fatty acids. In other words, AIMega’s omegas are supplementally superior.

Immune Support from Proancynol 2000
One of the ways to support your immune system any time of the year is to increase your intake of antioxidants. Proancynol 2000 was made for this purpose. Among the many antioxidantrich products offered by AIM, this dietary supplement is solely comprised of seven antioxidant-dense ingredients:
• Green Tea Extract: polyphenol-rich source of powerful antioxidants
• Rosemary Extract: bioactive compounds with high antioxidant activity
• Tomato Extract: potent antioxidant properties from lycopene
• Grape Seed Extract: free radical fighting flavonoids and proanthocyanidins
• Alpha-Lipoic Acid: fat-and water-soluble scavenger of free radicals
• N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine: glutathione precursor with effective antioxidant properties
• Selenium: mineral for regulating free radicals and maintaining the immune system
The immune-boosting ingredients of Proancynol 2000 are like a go-to antioxidant factory. Each ingredient is like a multiplicity of antioxidants, and the more diversity, the better. Together, they work cyclically to regenerate even more protective antioxidants with inflammation-fighting and neuroprotective properties, enhancing and supporting the immune system.
A variety of antioxidants in Proancynol 2000 donate electrons to unbalanced oxidants known as free radicals. Even though free radicals play a required role in cellular communication and immune response, an overabundance of these oxidants damages DNA, lipids, proteins, etc. By stabilizing and dominating the presence of free radicals, antioxidants help prevent oxidative stress that negatively impacts the immune system.
The activity of antioxidants is like having bodyguards that protect immune cells and enhance their function, which is to defend the body against harmful viruses and other microorganisms. Without the presence of antioxidants, oxidative stress would impair the immune system’s effectiveness, causing damage to body cells, including immune cells.
Taking Proancynol 2000 is a healthy way to support your immune system with increased antioxidant activity.

Natural Ingredients Can Vary — Quality Doesn’t
Variations in natural ingredients are a normal, expected part of crafting whole-food and nutritional products. The key to maintaining quality products is establishing high standards for each natural ingredient. This results in formulas you can trust and confirms AIM’s commitment to quality, safety and efficacy.
Nature can make subtle changes every season
AIM incorporates many pure fruits, vegetables and herbs into our products. And with these foods, each harvest brings its own natural color, aroma and flavor variations.
Did you know?
• Whole food herbs can differ slightly from season to season.
• Just like produce at a farmer’s market, plants from different harvests may look or taste a little different.
• It’s not lower quality, it’s just nature putting its signature touch on each harvest.
A Fluffier Herbal Fiberblend
Recently, Members have shared feedback regarding the latest batches of AIM Herbal Fiberblend Unflavored, noting that the powder appears lighter or fluffier than previous batches. This change is due to natural variations in powder density and is not the result of a change in ingredients or formulation.
Each Herbal Fiberblend canister continues to contain the same amount of product by weight, even though the powder may appear lighter or less compact. In simple terms, if you scoop the powder the same way you always have, each spoonful will contain less powder by weight because of the fluffier consistency.
To ensure a serving consistent with previous productions, AIM recommends using a slightly fuller scoop than usual.
By doing so, you will continue to receive the same number of servings per canister and the same product benefits you expect.

Quality is our Focus
Ensuring the quality of each ingredient used in a product is a crucial step for every AIM product. Have you ever wondered how AIM ensures the quality of every batch of product? Let’s take a behind-the-scenes look at Herbal Fiberblend:
• Each herb is sourced from harvests around the world.
• Strict quality specifications for safety, potency and identity are applied to each ingredient. This means each herb in Herbal Fiberblend is identity tested to ensure that you are getting exactly what’s on the label.
• Each herb must pass these specifications prior to being released for blending.
• Once approved, all ingredients are then blended to create a homogenized blend and then packaged into canisters with labels within a Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) certified facility.
AIM’s focus on quality doesn’t stop there. Once packaged, the canisters are subjected to another set of strict quality specifications including microbiological, heavy metals, pesticides and more. These exhaustive tests are completed by third-party laboratories.
Once they pass these tests, the batches are then sampled again and evaluated for visual, flavor, aroma and swell characteristics prior to being released to the AIM Members and Customers.
Beetroot Juice, Mouth Microbiome and Blood Pressure . . .
As soon as you begin drinking a beverage made with RediBeets, the concentrated vegetable nitrate in the beetroot juice powder begins a conversion process to nitric oxide, even before you swallow.
Oral bacteria start converting beetroot nitrate to nitrite, which makes its way into the stomach, where the conversion to nitric oxide begins and continues in the bloodstream. The key feature of nitric oxide is that it relaxes and widens blood vessels, so it enhances circulation and helps to lower blood pressure if needed.
One of the most recent examples of the benefits of the vegetable nitrate in beetroot juice was revealed in a study published in the Free Radical Biology and Medicine journal (October 2025). Researchers investigated the initial interaction between beetroot juice and the oral microbiome, particularly in regard to aging.
The study’s participants were males and females divided into two age groups: 18–30 years old and 67–79 years old. In separate twoweek sessions, they were given nitrate-rich beetroot juice followed by a two-week break before taking beetroot juice with the nitrate removed. In comparing the group responses to nitrate-rich beetroot juice, the results appeared to be age-related in regard to blood pressure benefits.
Only the blood pressure measurements of the older group decreased. At the start of the study, this group had higher blood pressure levels than the younger participants, whose levels were normal. This healthy effect of the nitrate
RediBeets 250 g powder
in beetroot juice was likely due to changes that occur in the oral microbiome of the older participants, even though the nitrate-rich beetroot juice altered oral bacterial balance in both age groups.
It's important to note that if there is an imbalance of bad bacteria in the mouth, the conversion of nitrate decreases. The older participants who drank the nitrate-rich beetroot juice showed a significant decrease in bad bacteria and an increase in good bacteria.
In the end, the study results determined that these positive changes in the oral microbiome enhance the cardiovascular health of older individuals, who produce less nitric oxide as they age. Supplementing with beetroot juice is a nutritional way to increase the production of nitric oxide and, as a result, support the cardiovascular system.
One of the latest trends for the younger generation is something all ages should embrace. The term “fibermaxxing” first appeared on social media platforms, extolling the benefits of maximizing your intake of dietary fiber. Most people do not get the recommended daily amount that ranges from 21 to 38 grams. Fibermaxxing is a fine antidote to this fiber deficiency.
Fibermaxxing is not a new idea. Going back in time to the 1960s, a surgeon by the name of Denis Burkitt was formulating his ideas on dietary fiber after his experiences in Africa. His key takeaway was that the locals did not have the same issues as commonly found in western countries because they had regular intakes of up to 100 grams of fiber daily. Now that’s fibermaxxing!
Digestive disorders continue to plague populations of people with fiber-deficient diets. Increasing their intake of plant-based food would greatly reduce this deficiency, but the popularity of ultra-processed foods continues to reduce fiber intake instead.
The AIM Companies recognized this deficiency by introducing not one but two fiber supplements: Herbal Fiberblend and Fit ’n Fiber. And the aim has always been to maximize your intake of fiber for improved health by supplementing with these healthy choices.
For ultimate cleansing and detoxifying, Herbal Fiberblend scrubs the intestinal tract with insoluble fiber, detoxifies the gut and promotes regular bowel movements. Each tablespoon of this blend of fiber and herbs adds 5 grams of fiber to your dietary intake.
Fit ’n Fiber also promotes regularity while being the ideal choice for weight management. Two tablespoons of this mix of fiber and herbs gives you 10 grams of fiber, 8 of which is prebiotic. This is the type of fiber that feeds the good bacteria that are your inner health care providers.
With choices of Herbal Fiberblend and Fit’ n Fiber, you can aim for fibermaxxing and hit your target healthily.
Blood Glucose Health
Sufficient levels of glucose circulating in the bloodstream are an essential factor for good health. This type of sugar sourced from a dietary intake of primarily carbohydrates is the body’s source of energy. This requires glucose to be channeled into cells, where it can be immediately used for energy or stored for later.
When glucose remains circulating through blood vessels, instead of providing an energy source, it triggers inflammation that can damage the body. The two trace minerals and two herbs in GlucoChrom are ingredients that have been thoroughly researched and tested for their roles in helping to move sugar out of the blood and into cells, thereby promoting blood glucose health.
Chromium
60 vegan capsules
Just a trace of this mineral is needed to be present to give insulin a helping hand in moving glucose from the bloodstream into cells. By enhancing this hormone’s ability to bind to cells and facilitate the uptake of glucose, chromium is a co-factor of insulin in its essential role in maintaining blood glucose levels. One capsule of GlucoChrom provides 200 micrograms of chromium
Vanadium
The presence of this trace mineral increases the transport of glucose into cells by assisting in the reactivation of the insulin receptor that plays a vital role in the metabolism of blood sugar. Vanadium accomplishes this by inhibiting a protein that turns off the insulin receptor. One capsule of GlucoChrom provides 37.5 micrograms of vanadium citrate
Gymnema Sylvestre Leaf and Bitter Melon Fruit
The herbal ingredients in GlucoChrom each offer unique bioactive compounds that contribute to maintaining healthy levels of blood glucose. The gymnemic acids in Gymnema sylvestre help block intestinal sugar absorption and inhibit sugar cravings by reducing the appeal of sugar-rich foods and snacks. Bitter melon contains a protein called polypeptide-p that is also referred to as plant insulin, which helps to maintain healthy blood glucose levels. The GlucoChrom formulation that includes these two beneficial herbs provides a combined total of 475 milligrams of gymnema sylvestre leaf and bitter melon fruit per capsule.
To fully benefit from the ingredients that support blood glucose health, take 1 capsule of GlucoChrom before a meal twice daily, according to your mealtime schedule.

CalciAIM
400 g powder
CalciAIM Advantages
CalciAIM supports bone health with three types of supplemental calcium in bioavailable powder form, along with absorption-boosting nutrients to ensure a sufficient dietary intake of this essential mineral.
Supplementing with capsules or tablets of calcium as a single ingredient can be problematic. They are difficult to digest and only a small percentage of the mineral is actually absorbed. CalciAIM delivers calcium and nutrients that enhance its absorption, all in powder form. When added to water, the calcium is already broken down into a bioavailable ionic form that your body assimilates far more effectively than capsules or tablets.
Calcium Absorption and Utilization
The dietary intake of calcium gets absorbed primarily in the small intestine. As this mineral circulates in the bloodstream, most of it is deposited in bones for safe keeping, like money in a bank. Any excess calcium ends up being eliminated during urination and bowel movements.
Did you know . . . ?
A few foods that contain calcium actually decrease its absorption due to the presence of specific compounds that stick to this mineral. Rhubarb and spinach are rich in oxalates that bind to calcium during digestion, inhibiting its absorption. Even worse, the phytates in wheat bran reduce the absorption of its own calcium and other food or supplement sources of calcium consumed at the same time. If you enjoy wheat bran, take CalciAIM at least two hours before or after eating this food source of fiber.
One serving of CalciAIM provides a safe and effective amount of supplemental calcium recommended for optimal absorption: 400 mg
AIM Directors Floyd and Rosa Stutzman of Etna Green, Indiana, are both in their mid-50s and regularly go on tandem bike riding adventures together, enjoying the outdoors. They average about 60-80 miles a day on their bike trips, sometimes spending the night in a motel, depending on the cycling distance.
Their next trip will be 120 miles or more when they do the Pumpkin Vine or Nickel Plate trails in Indiana. They go on their rides with friends, one of whom helped design their bikes.
Before taking the AIM products, Rosa had lower back pain as well as tight muscles and spasms in her legs. She did not know if bike riding would work for her, but after finishing their rides, she does not feel sore or worn out. Rosa attributes this to the AIM products that have been working for her for about 16 years. In actual fact, she feels better now than when she was in her 30s.
In the morning, Floyd and Rosa take BarleyLife, Peak Endurance and Frame Essentials. When they are finished for the day, they spray on or soak in Magnificence CWR . Taking the AIM products every day, the Stutzmans are enjoying the quality and journey of living an active life, and they are very thankful for nutrition that works to help them to do so.
Testimonials should not be construed as representing results that everyone can achieve.
Why AIM: The Healthy Cell Concept™
In recognizing why AIM is the right choice for improving and maintaining your health, it is important to note the healthy direction of the company from the very beginning.
Back in 1982, AIM offered Members the opportunity to be at the forefront of direct sales of a unique nutritious green powder, known as BarleyLife * The concentrated nutrition that can be found only in young barley grass suddenly became available for human consumption, supporting whole-body health right to the cellular level. The following year, the AIM Healthy Cell Concept was published.
Your body is made of trillions of cells that form tissues, organs and body systems. The Healthy Cell Concept emphasizes the vital connection between the health of your cells and body and provides five avenues you can follow to support cellular health:
Food Exercise Environment Protection Attitude
Wholesome nutrition, regular physical activity, optimized internal and external factors, a strong defense and a positive outlook all support healthy cells, which are at the center of your entire wellbeing. Your cells work together like a team, and healthy players make a healthy you.
The quality of food you consume is the first important avenue, providing the fuel that energizes your body and the turnover of cells that build it. And even though your body can make some needed nutrients, the aging process reduces the production of some. Supplementing with AIM nutrition fills in the missing gaps, allowing your “team players” to continue being fed optimally, thereby maintaining cellular health.
Specific nutrients that your body cannot produce include omega-3 and -6 essential fatty acids, which are integral to structure of cell membranes and cellular function. AIM offers AIMega* as a standalone natural health product in getting to the core of healthy cells.
Regular exercise combats the cellular dysfunction linked to a sedentary lifestyle. Physical activity actually increases your energy and makes you feel good from the positive effects on skeletal muscles and cells throughout your body.
Making your environment as healthy as possible is another avenue for keeping your cells healthy. And doing whatever you can do to support your immune system of defense is an avenue for cellular protection. The last but not the least avenue involves maintaining a positive attitude that will serve you and your cells well through good and bad times.
The Healthy Cell Concept is why AIM gets to the heart of health improvements and maintenance with nutrition that works.
* For additional products that target the five avenues, refer to the Healthy Cell Concept in the Download Center of your Member or Customer account on the AIM website.
