AIM Garden Trio® details
AIM Barleylife® - AIM Just Carrots
® - AIM RediBeets®
All members of the AIM Garden
Trio © are true juice
products—minimal fiber is present. All three products are easily
assimilated, convenient to use, use advanced processing, and are
residue-free.
Juicing
Juicing, and the benefits of a juicing
program, have long been recognized around the world. Since the early
part of this century, researchers such as Norman Walker, D.Sc., and
Bernard Jensen, D.C., Ph.D., have investigated the effects of juice as
part of the daily diet. Their studies show that juice can provide all
the basics of human nutrition, including carbohydrates, proteins,
fats, vitamins, and minerals.
 Juicing
adds to the benefits of fruits and vegetables. Because juicing removes
fiber, the important nutrients and phytochemicals found in plants are
absorbed more easily by our bodies—sometimes within minutes—without
too much effort on the part of the digestive system. As well, more of
the nutrients are absorbed; fiber is not present to escort some of
them out of the body.
How healthy is juicing? A handbook
distributed by the United States Department of Agriculture lists the
following riches in one glass of juice from one-half pound of fresh
carrots: 12 g of protein, 18 g of carbohydrates, 69 mg of calcium, 1.3
mg of iron, 635 mg of potassium, 20,460 International Units (IUs) of
vitamin A in the form of beta carotene, 15 mg of vitamin C, and small
amounts of the B vitamins.
Fresh fruit and vegetable juices are
also rich in enzymes. Enzymes spark the hundreds of thousands of
chemical reactions that occur throughout the body; enzymes are
essential for the digestion and absorption of food, for the conversion
of food stuffs into body tissue, and for the production of energy at
the cellular level. In fact, enzymes are essential for most of the
building and rebuilding that goes on in the body every day. When foods
are cooked, enzymes can be destroyed; that is why raw foods and juices
are so important to us. They provide us with an excellent source of
all-important enzymes.
Nutritional researchers have concluded
that there are three juices that form the core of any effective juice
program: a green vegetable juice, a carrot juice, and a beet juice.
Combined, these three juices provide a simple way to add natural,
healthy nutrients to your diet. This is the AIM
Garden Trio ©.
AIM Barleylife® – a green
vegetable juice
BarleyLife was one of the first
products created to make the benefits of juicing readily available to
consumers through the advantage of new technologies. Developed by Dr.
Yoshihide Hagiwara, a Japanese pharmacologist, during 25 years of
research, BarleyLife contains a wide spectrum of nutrients, including
vitamins A, B1, B6, C, and E, and the minerals potassium, calcium,
magnesium, manganese, and zinc. In addition, young barley grass
contains significant amounts of amino acids, enzymes, chlorophyll, and
alkalizing substances.
Since the development of BarleyLife,
university studies in the United States and around the world have
reinforced Dr. Hagiwara’s belief in the value of natural foods, and
of barley juice in particular. For example, at the University of
California-Davis Department of Environmental Toxicology, researchers
have discovered a substance—2”-0-glycosyliso-vitexin—in barley
leaf extract that is one of the most potent antioxidants found to date
in a food source.
To preserve the delicate balance of
nutrients and phytochemicals in young barley plants, BarleyLife is
produced through a special patented process so that these substances
are delivered to the consumer intact. BarleyLife is grown without the
use of chemical fertilizers, herbicides or pesticides, and is
guaranteed to be residue-free.
AIM Just Carrots® – a carrot juice
It is well established that carrots are
a healthy food. They contain many important nutrients—beta carotene
and other carotenoids, B vitamins, vitamin C, 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 500
similar compounds called carotenoids that are present in many fruits
and vegetables. The body changes beta carotene into vitamin A, which
is important in strengthening the immune system and promoting healthy
cell growth. However, beta carotene 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—up to
360* percent of the U.S. government’s Recommended Daily Allowance
(RDA). Drinking one glass of AIM Just
Carrots ® provides you with 18,000 to 20,000* IUs of beta carotene.
In addition to beta carotene, AIM Just
Carrots ® contains vitamin C, calcium, and potassium. AIM
Just Carrots ® is monitored for maximum
nutrient levels. A single serving of AIM Just
Carrots ® crystals contains 40* calories; a single serving of caplets
contains 25* calories.
The carrots used in AIM
Just Carrots ® are residue-free, 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 additives, sweeteners, fillers, or artificial
ingredients. The caplets contain a small amount of inert binders to
hold them together.
* These figures vary depending on
variations in carrot crops due to climate, soil, and times of harvest.
AIM RediBeets® – a beet juice
What do beets provide us? One cup of
raw beets is high in carbohydrates and low in fat. It contains
phosphorus, sodium, magnesium, calcium, iron, and potassium, as well
as vitamins A and C, niacin, folic acid, and biotin. Although these
are not found in “RDA” quantities, we must remember that nutrients
derived from a natural source may be “better” than those found in
supplements, as they are found in an organic form. 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, in particular, is noted for being much more easily
assimilated than man-made forms of iron.
According to John Heinerman in the Encyclopedia
of Healing Juices, beets (and beet juices) are a blood-building
herb that detoxifies blood and renews it with minerals and natural
sugars. The encyclopedia goes on to note that there may be substances
in beets that aid circulation.
Other sources also speak highly of
beets and beet juices. Dr. H.C.A. Vogel, in The Nature Doctor,
states that beet juice contains betaine, which stimulates the function
of liver cells and protects the liver and bile ducts. Norman Walker,
D.Sc., in Fresh Vegetable and Fruit Juices, claims that beets build
red corpuscles and add tone to blood.
An article in the February 27, 1996,
issue of Cancer Letters reports on an animal study that shows
that beetroot has a significant tumor-inhibiting effect. The abstract
for the study says, “The combined findings suggest that beetroot
ingestion can be one of the useful means to prevent cancer.”
The half pound of beets used to make
one teaspoon of AIM RediBeets® is residue-free, and the beets are processed in a state-of-the-art
facility that separates the juice—and its valuable nutrients—from
the plants’ fiber. In this process, the beets are not subjected to
high temperatures that may damage their nutrients.
As part of a regular juicing program, AIM RediBeets® provides one of the most convenient
ways to achieve an improved diet through regular consumption of
vegetables. The complete
Whole Body Nutrition line
consists of AIM AIMega™, the
AIM Garden Trio® —
AIM BarleyLife®,
AIM Just Carrots®, and
AIM RediBeets®. Use these products for a
solid foundation for your health. |
