Digestive Health
The digestive system is a 25- to 35-foot-long hose like structure.
It receives food at one end, breaks it down into nutrients (a process
called digestion), and absorbs the nutrients into the bloodstream
for delivery to the cells. The eliminatory system helps maintain
water and chemical balance and removes excess fluid and waste from
the body.
The primary structures of these systems are the mouth, esophagus,
stomach, small and large intestines (colon), kidneys, bladder, and
anus.
When things go wrong
Digestive disorders are a major source of lost time. We all are
familiar with such inconveniences as constipation, diarrhea, heartburn,
urinary tract infections, flatulence, and upset stomachs. Digestive
disorders also account for such serious problems as hepatitis, jaundice,
cirrhosis, diverticular disease, and cancers of the digestive system.
Why things go wrong
Diet is often the main culprit. We eat too much processed food
and sugar, and not enough fiber, fruits, and vegetables. Poor eating
habits, such as eating too quickly or irregularly, are also part
of the problem.
In addition, parasites are a largely unknown but major problem.
Other risk factors are lack of exercise, effects of prescription
and over-the-counter drugs, smoking, stress, and alcohol.
To maintain digestive health
Many digestive problems can be prevented through lifestyle. Live
the Healthy Cell
Concept™ and be sure to get adequate amounts of fiber, fruits,
and vegetables. Supplementing with pre- and probiotics and digestive
enzymes can aid in digestion.

One way to help maintain digestive health is to be aware
of and ‘take care of’ our intestinal flora – the trillions
of bacteria that make the digestive tract their home. AIM
FloraFood® contains
a special blend of three powerful friendly bacteria—L. acidophilus,
B. bifidum and B. longum. Friendly bacteria do much more
than counteract unfriendly bacteria. They promote the production
of B vitamins; break down and rebuild hormones; protect
us from environmental toxins; and help to maintain healthy
cholesterol and triglyceride levels. AIM’s special formula
requires no refrigeration! Details

Cranberry has long been used to treat urinary tract
infections, and research confirms this form of therapy.
Cranberries contain proanthocyanidins that inhibit the ability
of bacteria to ‘stick’ to the urinary tract wall. There
is growing evidence that cranberry may have other health
benefits as well. Cranberry contains antioxidant phenols.
They also have probiotic qualities and are being studied
for dental as well as cardiovascular benefit. Unlike cranberry
beverages that contain large amounts of processed sugar,
AIM CranVerry® has no added
sugar, and delivers only the benefit of pure cranberry concentrate.

Release® work together to cleanse and support the lymphatic
system. These herbs may also help with bowel regularity.
Take it with AIM Herbal FiberBlend®

AIMega™ is an organic
seed oil blend that delivers an important source of healthful
and essential omega-3, -6 and-9 fatty acids. Essential fatty
acids (EFAs) are incorporated into every cell of the body,
and are key structural, metabolic, and regulatory components
of cells. EFAs must be consumed through diet as the body
is unable to manufacture them, and without them, we can
not live. They improve and regulate cellular function, reduce
inflammation, modulate immune response, optimize health
and well-being, and help prevent chronic disease.

12 grams of total fiber per serving, including 10 grams
of heart healthy soluble fiber. Doctors recommend that men
consume 30-35 grams of fiber per day and that women consume
21-25 grams. Considering that most diets already include
anywhere from 12-17 grams of fiber, the fiber content of
fit ’n fiber™ makes achieving these recommendations much
easier.
