Garden Trio
Health practitioners and health organizations recommend that we get five or more servings of fruits and vegetables a day. This is because a diet high in fruits and vegetables may well reduce the risk of cancer, cardiovascular disease, and stroke.
Benefits
- Helps maintain whole body health
- Helps maintain a healthy immune system
- Provides increased energy
- Benefits of juicing without the inconvenience
BarleyLife®, a green vegetable juice
AIM BarleyLife® is a whole food concentrate that captures all the nutrients in green barley grass. Traditional AIM BarleyLife® is cultivated from soils that are pesticide-, herbicide-, and fungicide-free, and is available as a concentrate powder, or as a convenient, easy-to-take vegetarian capsule. The vegetable capsules dissolve quickly for better absorption and faster assimilation.
Nutrient-rich soils of Canada provide the perfect environment for cultivation of young barley plants. Once harvested, these organic barley leaves are processed at the AIM co-owned manufacturing facility in Canada, where rigorous testing assures that the product meets stringent guidelines for AIM quality.
AIM Just Carrots®
It is well-established that carrots are a healthy food. They contain many important nutrients—betacarotene and other carotenoids, B vitamins, the minerals calcium and potassium, and much more. Of all of these, it is beta-carotene that traditionally has received the most attention. Beta-carotene is one of about 600 similar compounds called carotenoids that are present in many fruits and vegetables. The body changes betacarotene into vitamin A, which is important in strengthening the immune system and promoting healthy cell growth. However, betacarotene is much more than the precursor to vitamin A. Only so much beta-carotene can be changed into vitamin A, and that which is not changed contributes to boosting the immune system and is also a potent antioxidant. Antioxidants fight free radicals and help prevent them from causing membrane damage, DNA mutation, and lipid (fat) oxidation, all of which may lead to many of the diseases that we consider “degenerative.” AIM Just Carrots® has one of the highest sources of natural beta-carotene—and provides up to 420 percent of the U.S. government’s Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) of vitamin A. In addition to betacarotene, AIM Just Carrots® contains calcium and potassium. AIM Just Carrots is monitored for maximum nutrient levels. The carrots used in AIM Just Carrots® are residuefree, ensuring that you will not be getting harmful toxins. A special process is used to produce AIM Just Carrots®, which ensures that nutrients and enzymes
remain active. This process does not use added sugars, sweeteners, or artificial colors. The caplets contain a small amount of inert binders to hold them together.
AIM RediBeets®
One cup of raw beets contains phosphorus, sodium, magnesium, calcium, iron, and potassium as well as vitamin A, niacin, folic acid, and biotin. When these nutrients are captured in a juicing process, they remain in a form that is much easier to assimilate than synthetic nutrients. The iron in beet juice is noted for being more easily assimilated than other forms of iron supplements. Potassium is essential for all cellular functions. Along with sodium, it regulates water balance and acidityalkalinity balance in the blood and tissues. It is often depleted with aging, in degenerative disorders, and with a diet that is high in refined sugar and processed foods.
Historically, beet roots have been known to have medicinal properties, specifically anti-hepatotoxic effects, or the ability to counter damaging effects on the liver. For the past three or four centuries, it has been thought to be beneficial for the detoxification of the liver, and they were used for the treatment of hepatitis. The exact mechanism by which beets support the liver remains unknown; however, theories suggest that they effectively limit fat deposits in the liver, probably because of their high concentration of betaine.
Betaine is often referred to as the lipotropic factor because of this ability to help the liver process fats. Betaine also plays a role in reducing homocysteine. High levels of homocysteine are associated with cardiovascular disease, so betaine is thought to support cardiovascular health. Beets also contain biochanin A, a potential cancerfighting agent.
The half pound (454 g) of beets used to make one teaspoon of AIM RediBeets® is residue-free. When the beets are
processed to separate the juice and its valuable nutrients from the fiber, the beets are not subjected to high
temperatures that may damage their nutrients. AIM RediBeets® offers a convenient way to achieve an improved diet through regular consumption of vegetables.
