One of the greatest health issues facing society today is weight increase. Too many people are overweight. Worldwide obesity has doubled since 1980. Some 1.5 billion adults are overweight, according to the World Health Organization, with 500 million of those considered obese. Approximately 3 million adults die each year as a result of being overweight or obese.

Weight loss is both simple and complex. Lifestyle changes are key and health care support may be necessary. Simple to outline, complex at times to execute. Health care involves three elements: prevent, cure, treat.

The devil is in the details, but the one factor within your control is prevention.

In this month’s magazine, the help you need is just an AIM order away. AIM has a weight loss guide that has proven to be effective with folks who have followed the plan. Our ProPeas and a new addition to the AIM product line, fit ’n fiber apple/cinnamon, combine to make a great meal substitute. And, of course, AIM’s GlucoChrom, is a powerful product to help regulate blood sugar levels.

Weight-loss studies always have two things in common: It is best to lose weight with help and being overweight/obese is preventable. This issue of AIM Living Well is a good reference point for whole-

food concentrates and natural supplements that can help with a weight-loss goal.

Be proactive and pro-AIM. Let our proven products and guides give you the needed advantage to obtain your ideal weight leading to perfect health.

AIM to the rescue for weight loss

One of the most effective methods of giving your body a much needed break from its ongoing process of keeping you alive is through the AIM Detox & Rejuvenate Program—a booklet that shows you the way to help your body rest, cleanse, and rejuvenate.

The recommended 4-week detoxifying process is a combination of eating fresh, whole food; drinking pure water; and supplementing with a selection of AIM products that cleanse your body and maintain a healthy alkaline body pH.

The Toxic Build-upToxins that impact

your health can come from a variety of internal and external sources, including stress, food, water, body care products, and pollution. your body cleanses itself every day by removing toxins through the skin, lungs, liver, colon, and other major organs. Even though this automatic mechanism never stops, it can become clogged and work less than optimally. Over time the build-up of toxins leads to a weakened immune system—your body’s defense system—and an inability to fully utilize nutrients from your dietary intake. This opens the door to any number of health issues and disease.

Time to DetoxifyThere are many indications that it may be time

for you to cleanse from the inside out. Examples include feeling tired and having less energy, gaining weight without eating more food than usual, and feeling bloated, constipated, or congested.

3If you feel that it is time for an internal cleanse. AIM makes it simple. Begin and follow through your detoxification with the AIM Detox & Rejuvenate Program. This easy-to-follow booklet takes you through the process with suggestions in regard to food, beverages, and four AIM supplements that effectively cleanse your body of toxins.

Changing through DetoxificationThe first thing to be aware of as you start

this program is that your body will go through changes as you detoxify. This is true for starting anything physically different. For example, if you have never done sit-ups, your abdominal muscles will feel sore afterward. Anytime you make a physical change in your regular routine you may experience temporary discomforts that eventually disappear as your body strengthens.

Every person is different, so the signs of detoxification vary from individual to individual, and not everyone experiences symptoms.

AIM Detox & Rejuvenate Program

November 2013 5

Detoxification allows your body to utilize the healthy nutrition that you provide. Following through with the AIM Detox and Rejuvenate Program results in a natural body cleanse that strengthens your immune system and provides a preventative step against illness.

The AIM Detoxification Supplements

The AIM Detox and Rejuvenate Program requires four key natural health products that help to eliminate toxins from your body. The following combination of supplements provides a thorough body cleanse for effective detoxification.

AIM Herbal Fiberblend® 5 g fiber per serving helps to maintain whole-body health

by providing natural psyllium fiber (soluble and insoluble) and cleansing herbs that remove toxins from the body. It maintains digestive health and promotes regular bowel movements.

The benefits of plant-based, water-soluble fiber are numerous and include maintaining healthy cholesterol and blood sugar levels. The recommended daily intake of fiber is 25-35 grams, and the average person consumes less than half that amount daily. Promoting overall wellness, the many herbs help to support a

healthy GI tract by providing a wide range of benefits to remove waste, mucus, and parasites and to combat inflammation.

AIM fit ’n fiber™ 7 g fiber per serving apple-cinnamon helps to promote digestive health with natural psyllium and oat fiber and herbs that cleanse the intestinal tract. Oat fiber relieves irregularity to improve detoxification. Organic apple fiber reduces appetite to assist with weight loss. Selected herbs like organic aloe play a key role in soothing and unclogging the digestive system.

AIM Herbal Release® helps to maintain a strong immune system and a healthy lymphatic system by providing herbs that cleanse the body of toxins. Each herb, including cascara sagrada, barberry, echinacea, and parsley, was carefully selected to support the stomach, liver, kidneys, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen, skin, and digestive system.

AIM FloraFood® helps to maintain digestive health with a unique blend of probiotics—Lactobacillus gasseri, Bifidobacterium bifidum and Bifidobacterium longum—that restore and maintain a balanced intestinal flora. These friendly bacteria stimulate and enhance the immune system, balance intestinal pH, and protect against environmental toxins.

Additional detoxification support and nutrition is available from AIM’s BarleyLife®, Garden Trio®, ProPeas™, AIMega®, Proancynol® 2000, and PrepZymes®.

The AIM Detox & Rejuvenate Program booklet ties in the importance of food choices, water, body pH, all of which go hand in hand with the five steps of the AIM Healthy Cell Concept™. Detoxify and rejuvenate to give your body a healthy break.

AIM Detox & Rejuvenate Program

Main Feature


Along with feeling good about yourself, an ideal body weight is a major factor in maintaining good health. If you are struggling to lose unwanted pounds, AIM has the answer for successful weight loss.

One important thing to consider is your body pH, which is greatly affected by your nutritional choices. For example, the foods you eat can have an acidifying or an alkalizing effect on your body. Acidity has a negative impact on all of your body systems. One of the harmful results is that your body needs to add protective fat. If you do not reverse body acidity, it is harder to lose weight.

BarleyLife’s Balancing ActTo get your body pH in balance, simply add

AIM BarleyLife® to your daily nutritional intake. you are not going to find a better whole-food concentrate for providing greens that neutralize an acidic body environment. With a natural source of vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, enzymes, antioxidants, and chlorophyll, BarleyLife can be your first step of nutritional support for reaching your ideal body weight.

AIM fit ’n fiber® apple-cinnamon contains 14 grams of total fiber in two servings. According to the Institute of Medicine’s Dietary Reference Intake for fiber, most men should get 38 grams and most women at least 25 grams each day to gain all the health benefits, including weight management. fit ’n fiber makes it much easier to achieve these daily recommendations.

If you are trying to lose weight, eat high-fiber foods and supplement with fit ’n fiber. These dietary changes help you control hunger pangs, allowing you to resist more food than your body actually requires. A high-fiber intake fills you up without filling you out with unwanted pounds. Fiber makes you feel full, sending a message to your brain that you have had enough to eat.

Controlling the number of calories you get is one of the most effective ways of losing weight.

AIM ProPeas® is a vegetable source of protein that provides 12 grams of protein per serving. Protein is a key component to weight management. Like fiber, protein contributes to feeling that you have had enough to eat. And it is essential for building lean muscle mass. However, the most common protein is meat, which is generally high in fat and has an acidic effect on your body. ProPeas provides a low-fat protein from peas—an alkaline food that contributes to a healthy body pH.

By mixing fit ’n fiber apple-cinnamon, ProPeas and BarleyLife together in a smoothie (or shake), you have a high-fiber, high-protein beverage that fills you up without a huge increase of calories. This healthfully delicious combo was field tested by Ron Wright, AIM President, CEO, and co-owner, who lost twenty-five pound by making it his regular morning smoothie. Ron also made diet modifications. He reduced his red meat, bread and butter, and sugar intake and ate mostly fresh fish and vegetables.

The AIM Weight Loss Pack provides the nutritional support to help you lose weight the healthy way with whole-food concentrates and natural health products. It contains ProPeas, fit ’n fiber and GlucoChrom™… a unique combination of trace minerals and herbs that increases the effective actions of insulin and helps the body to metabolize carbohydrates and fats. This natural health product provides chromium—a trace mineral that enhances insulin action—along with vanadium citrate, Gymnema sylvestre leaf extract, and bitter melon. Together, these natural ingredients provide a potent combination for increasing the effective action of insulin so that your cells have complete access to blood sugar for producing energy.

AIM has the Answer for Weight Loss

This combination of whole-food concentrates and nutritional supplements is naturally low in sugar, which has an acidifying effect on your body, so all four products contribute to maintaining a healthy body pH. Remember, acidity leads to difficulty in losing weight. Make it easier on your body to shed those extra pounds with AIM’s natural solutions for weight management.

Combined with BarleyLife, the weight loss pack helps to:

• Reduce your appetite

• Maintain healthy blood sugar levels

• Build and maintain healthy muscle

• Decrease LDL cholesterol levels

• Increase lean muscle mass and decrease body weight

Burn fat easily!

Even the simplest weight loss plans are possible with desire and determination.

With her husband facing heart health challenges, AIM Director Masako Moriyama from Abbotsford, British Columbia, got serious about altering their diet—removing processed foods and unwholesome grains and sugars and replacing them with fruits, vegetables, and AIM nutrition. This simple change in diet was the impetus for getting their health back on track.

“The change was easy once the decision was made,” Masako said. “The food choices may have been simple, but it takes a strong commitment and discipline to achieve this. Everything else stayed the same. By changing what I consume, I was able to shed extra toxins and fat, even without exercise.”

Masako’s plan (see sidebar) included consistent use of AIM powder concentrates like AIM’s BarleyLife®, LeafGreens™, Herbal Fiberblend®, and ProPeas™ as well as an increase in fruits and vegetables and a decrease in unhealthy foods.

The end result: Masako lost 20 pounds in six months and went from a size 12 to a size 8.

The assist from the AIM products was substantial, and Masako’s combination of products—greens, fiber, and protein—proved ideal for her weight loss goals. The nutrient-rich greens in BarleyLife and LeafGreens have an alkalizing effect on the body, which can help create a toxin-free environment. Fiber supports a healthy digestive system, and it partners with protein to boost satiety and curb appetite.

When combined with a healthy diet of whole foods, fruits, and vegetables, not to mention the removal of processed foods and glutenous wheat, the AIM products help form a complete, simple diet plan. Even the small changes can yield big dividends, as Masako discovered, and her plan is possible for anyone.

“you can do it, too!” Masako said. “Wheat is addictive, don’t eat it. Choose to eat better. God gave you a body to take care of, and it is your responsibility to keep it well. you can be the creator of your own healthy body. It just takes discipline, encouragement, diligence, and most of all, commitment.

“When all is said and done, you will feel the difference.”

A few nights ago, I experienced a severe leg cramp that came upon me quite suddenly. I remembered that AIM Mag-nificence™ had helped others facing this same dilemma, so I immediately sprayed the affected area with Mag-nificence magnesium spray.

Much to my amazement the cramp subsided right away! Mag-nificence worked so quickly!

I have had similar cramps in the past that lasted several minutes, were very painful, and left soreness for a couple of days. No such experience this time. It went away within a minute! I could not believe it. I sprayed the cramp, expecting the magnesium to help, but I didn’t expect the cramp to go away so fast. It was such a remarkable experience that I just had to share it.

I am certainly grateful for this wonderful product and intend to share my personal experience with others. AIM’s Mag-nificence is magnificent!

Losing twenty-four pounds within a 3-month period beginning in January 2012, was only the beginning for AIM Executive Assistant and event registrant Joyce Janzen.

One month after Joyce lost the most weight in an AIM staff weight-loss challenge, she challenged herself again, joining the group for another three-month round of weight loss. Once again, the challenge and the AIM products proved beneficial with a ten-pound loss.

At this time, Joyce has lost a total of forty pounds and kept it off, thanks to AIM nutritional supplements and a healthy lifestyle.

The grand total has helped Joyce achieve a satisfying weight, and it has also benefited her health. Her latest blood test results show that her cholesterol has dropped 42 points since the first weight loss challenge, and her LDL cholesterol has dropped 60 points.

“Seeing those numbers has encouraged me to keep going,” Joyce said. “I found that if I stick with the same program, I can continue to lose weight.”

Joyce’s program includes a collection of healthy AIM whole food concentrates and nutritional sup plements to create daily smoothies. She combines AIM ProPeas™, AIM fit ‘n fiber®, and AIM CoCoa LeafGreens™ with fruit and low-calorie

almond milk and drinks the smoothie as a meal alternative for breakfast and lunch. The hearty supply of protein and fiber plus the essential nutrients from healthy greens provide vitamins and minerals plus a feeling of fullness that lasts. Her dinners feature one serving of protein, vegetables, and salad with CoCoa LeafGreens for a sweet reward.

“The diet change was a little hard at first,” Joyce said. “But now that I’m into it, I have found it to be a routine. I can snack on healthy things in between meals. It works quite well.”

Her healthy diet supplements her healthy lifestyle. Joyce makes a point of walking thirty minutes each day, in addition to drinking lots of water. The combination of eating healthy, staying active, and keeping accountable with her coworker friends in the weight loss challenge has led to amazing results. And she’s not done yet.

“I’m still going,” Joyce said. “I want to get to my healthy weight, and I know AIM’s natural products can help me get there.”

More and more young people are being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. In this form of diabetes, insulin is produced in the body, but it is unable to do its job of regulating blood sugar. It is a disease normally associated with adults.

For the past twenty years, type 2 diabetes has been on the rise among children and youth all around the world. According to the Canadian Diabetes Association, in the next fifteen years, the global incidence of type 2 diabetes in children will increase by up to 50 percent.

Even though there are any number of genetic and environmental risk factors, the most significant risk factor is obesity. The texting, gaming, and computer-based obsessions of today’s youth encourage physically inactive lifestyles. Combined with poor nutrition from the successful marketing of processed food, junk food, soda pop, and other sugar- and fat-filled snacks, it is no wonder that the Centers for Disease Control reports that obesity now affects 17 percent of all children and adolescents in the United States—three times the rate of the previous generation.

For all age groups, eating well and maintaining an ideal body weight has a preventative effect on diseases like Type 2 diabetes. For over thirty years, AIM has been encouraging this healthy lifestyle along with the modern necessity to supplement dietary intake with our high-quality, whole-food concentrates and natural health products.

For young people struggling with blood sugar issues, tackling nutritional deficiency is a key step in balancing/regulating blood sugar. A deficiency of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, or fiber can be corrected with AIM’s natural nutritionals.

CoCoa LeafGreens™ is a potent combination of the juice powders of spinach, field pea, faba bean, barley leaves, and broccoli sprouts, plus cocoa, which has 0 grams of sugar and is rich in antioxidants. One serving (1 rounded teaspoon) contains more iron than 6 cups of spinach, more sulforaphane than 8 cups of raw broccoli, more beta carotene than 3 raw green bell peppers.

Additionally, getting enough dietary fiber plays an essential role in maintaining healthy blood sugar levels. Supplement with the soluble and insoluble fiber in AIM fit ’n fiber® (children between the ages of 12-16 can take one daily serving). The Canadian Diabetes Association confirms the benefits of eating fiber, indicating that soluble fiber may help control blood sugar by delaying gastric (stomach) emptying, retarding the entry of glucose into the bloodstream, and lessening the postprandial (post-meal) rise in blood sugar. Furthermore, the

association reports that scientists believe that lifestyle changes can help prevent or delay the onset of

type 2 diabetes.

What an incredible start it has been for Dr. Joseph Vetere, an AIM Director from Carmel, New york. After signing up as a Member in June, Dr. Vetere reached the Director level three months later, signing up 24 new Members in his first 90 days.

His astonishing growth has come as a result of simple sharing as opposed to a hard-and-fast business plan.

“AIM is a godsend. It is a perfect match for what I’ve been doing,” Dr. Vetere said. “Everybody I have shared it with has been marvelously satisfied.”

Dr. Vetere has made AIM products an integral component in his wellness program, 7 Weeks to Wellness. The program, which he has been teaching in workshops, churches, and his own chiropractic practice for 15 years, takes a holistic view on restoring health, focusing on dietary changes, rest, water, eliminations, proper supplementation, and chiropractic care.

Participants in the wellness program become AIM Members in order to integrate the AIM products into their health plan. The foundational supplements for Dr. Vetere and his program include AIM BarleyLife®, AIM Just Carrots®, and AIM RediBeets® (the AIM Garden Trio®) and AIM Herbal Fiberblend®.

“BarleyLife, Just Carrots, RediBeets, and Herbal Fiberblend are the perfect supplementation for people to get their dietary nutrients, essentially the nutrients

you need that you don’t get,” Dr. Vetere said. “AIM nutrition really works hand-in-hand with what I teach from a Biblical perspective.”

Nutrition has always been a key component in Dr. Vetere’s health and that of his patients. Prior to joining AIM, he manufactured and sold his own line of nutritional supplements and had looked into the possibility of expanding his line into the network marketing industry. When that plan proved unworkable, Dr. Vetere sought an existing health company to join, and after researching the top health companies, he decided on AIM.

“The final confirmation for me was when my attorney told me, ‘I used to take this BarleyLife product twenty years ago. It’s fabulous!’” Dr. Vetere said. “That was all I needed to hear. I was in.”

Dr. Vetere keeps the Garden Trio and Herbal Fiberblend by his desk at all times, and he takes AIM PrepZymes®, AIMega®, and AIM GinkgoSense™. The health boost from AIM’s elite supplements have been noticeable from the start.

“When I first took BarleyLife,” Dr. Vetere said, “you get a rush, man. It’s not an energy boost like caffeine; it’s different. It’s better. The only way I can describe it is that you have this heightened sense of agility. you become more aware, more sharp, more vibrant, more alive.

“If you eat right, put your problems in the hands of the Lord, realize how small they are, have the proper nutrition, and follow the seven weeks to wellness, I believe that is the key to good health.”

And sharing this wellness plan with others has been key to a booming AIM business.

AIM FloraFood® contains three essential, friendly bacteria that support a healthy intestinal tract and a well-functioning digestive system.

Did you know friendly bacteria can also benefit weight loss?

It’s almost too good to be true. Not only do the friendly bacteria in FloraFood carry the benefits of a well-balanced digestive tract, they also may have positive influences on weight loss, according to a Japanese research team.

In their novel study, the Japanese group of researchers focused on the anti-obesity effects of lactobacillus gasseri, one of the three friendly bacteria—along with Bifidobacterium bifidum and Bifidobacterium longum—found in FloraFood. The results, published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, were striking.

Eighty-seven individuals with high Body Mass Index (BMI) scores and increased abdominal fat were split into two groups. One received milk fortified with the probiotic, lactobacillus gasseri and the other received milk with no probiotic fortification. After twelve weeks, the probiotic group showed a decrease in abdominal fat and subcutaneous fat by an average of 4.6 percent and 3.3 percent, respectively. In addition, the probiotic group showed decreases in weight, waist circumference, and hip circumference.

Among the group that did not receive the probiotic, no significant differences were noted.

The metabolic effect of lactobacillus gasseri was clearly evident in this study. Researchers believe that lactobacillus gasseri’s impact on weight loss may be due to its intestinal anti-inflammatory properties and its maintenance of a healthy digestive system, two factors that can contribute to preventing body fat.

Digestive health has always been a calling card for FloraFood. The combination of lactobacilli and bifidobacteria counteracts the unfriendly bacteria in the gut, aids in the digestion of lactose and protein, cleans the intestinal tract, and purifies the colon. The benefits of friendly bacteria extend even to immune response, vitamin production, healthy cholesterol and triglyceride levels, and protection against toxins.

you can add weight loss to the list also.

Consider adding FloraFood to your healthy weight regimen, and get the most from your friendly bacteria. With one billion friendly bacteria in each capsule, FloraFood has you covered for digestive health, weight loss, and so much more.

Testimonial


On June 20, 2013, low-flying, black helicopters roared above the city o f Ca l g a r y, b l a s t i n g warnings that residents had to evacuate the area. Flood water was forcing over 100,000 people from their homes. Alma and G ar y Johnston, Preferred M emb ers , found themselves in a

state of emergency. As if the helicopter assaults were not enough, patrol cars with loudspeakers blaring drove through their neighborhood, broadcasting orders that everyone had to leave immediately. The unimaginable had happened.

A few weeks before the floods, Alma met with her sponsor, AIM Director Linda Easthouse, who showed her a copy of the AIM CoCoa LeafGreens™ datasheet. After reading about its health benefits and great taste, Alma could not wait for her Automatic Monthly Reorder (AMR). She had to get it right away, and she is so glad that she did.

“When you’re being evacuated from your home, you can’t take a lot of stuff. CoCoa LeafGreens was one of the first things I grabbed to help make sure we had better nutrition while we were away from our home,” stated Alma. “With Gary battling thyroid cancer, I know he needs greens to help him maintain an alkaline body pH.” He and Alma had decided not to surgically remove the cancerous lump, which has been getting smaller since it was first noticed in February 2013. Gary regularly takes AIM BarleyLife® daily at work, along with AIM CellSparc 360®, AIM FloraFood®, and AIM LeafGreens™ capsules at home.

Fortunately for the Johnstons, the rising floodwater stopped a block and a half from where they lived, so they did not have to spend much time away from home. But her instinct to have something healthy and comforting like CoCoa LeafGreens on hand, just in case, is a good lesson for anyone who wants to prepare for a disaster situation.

After the flooding, the air around Calgary smelled horrible from raw sewage and the moldy material that littered the city. Flood water is heavily polluted with viruses, bacteria, and parasites, so Alma made sure that they boosted their immune system with probiotic (healthy bacteria) in AIM FloraFood® along with antioxidant-rich CoCoa LeafGreens.

“Before CoCoa LeafGreens was available, both Gary and I took LeafGreens capsules,” Alma explained. “Even though I know we need proper nutrition, I am a fussy person who doesn’t like certain flavors.” But both of them love the chocolaty flavor of CoCoa LeafGreens, especially in unsweetened almond milk. “I take about two teaspoons per serving. I like it for breakfast because it gives me more energy than cereal.”

“I highly recommend CoCoa LeafGreens concentrated nutrition to anyone wanting to pursue a healthier lifestyle as well as those wanting to stack the odds in their favor to defeat any one of a number of health concerns that can be beaten by being more alkaline. Thanks, AIM. you did it again!”
