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.
