Aging well with AIM Nutrition
If there is one secret to aging well, it is the sources of nutrition that you feed your body as the years go by. 1 Consuming the right kinds of food adds up to “inner housekeeping” that makes for a healthy body environment. It’s a “nourishing your cells equals a healthy you” situation that is so fittingly incorporated into the AIM Healthy Cell Concept™.
Over the past 38 years, AIM has promoted the vital value of eating whole foods from the plant kingdom. Even though you may have heard a lot about the benefits of a plant-based diet, it bears repeating, especially when the Physicians Committee exclaims, “A plant-based diet, rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes, is a great way to achieve good health!”

To support good health, AIM provides a wide variety of plant-based, wholefood powders and dietary supplements, offering many choices that enhance wholesome nutrition. The following AIM assortment fits finely into a plan for aging well.
Whole-Food Powder Concentrates
Given that eating at least five servings of fruit and vegetables daily is also a dietary recommendation from the Physicians Committee 2 , you simply can’t go wrong by taking one or more AIM whole-food powders that deliver concentrated plant-based nutrients.
BarleyLife • BarleyLife Xtra • CoCoa LeafGreens • Just Carrots • LeafGreens • ProPeas • RediBeets
Easy to digest and absorb, each concentrate contributes a wealth of plant nutrition to foster healthy cells that are instrumental in doing well at the aging game.
CranVerry +
A cranberry a day … okay, it takes more than one of those scarlet balls of nutrition to make a beneficial difference. Each capsule of CranVerry+ is packed with 500 mg of cranberry extract. This equals a cup of cooked cranberries or almost 10 sizeable servings of cranberry juice. CranVerry + supports your body’s urinary system and bacterial balance as you age.
Frame Essentials
Joint problems do not have to be a part of the aging process when your body begins to produce reduced amounts of the nutrients that keep bone connections in good shape. To support joint health, Frame Essentials supplements the glucosamine (a building block of cartilage) and methylsulfonylmethane (natural sulfur compound) required for healthy connective tissue and adds antiinflammatory boswellia extract.
GinkgoSense
The botanical ingredient that gives GinkgoSense its name is Ginkgo biloba, which has been shown to improve cognitive function. 3, 4 The formulation also
includes curcumin and ashwagandha, two ingredients historically used in India, “to slow down brain aging and enhance memory.” 5 Additionally, maculasupporting lutein and zeaxanthin are two plant nutrients that are essential for aging eyes. With ginkgo’s positive effect on blood circulation, you get improved delivery of all the beneficial nutrients in GinkgoSense where needed the most.
Proancynol 2000
One of the leading factors in advanced aging is the damage to cells, tissue, organs and DNA caused by unstable molecules known as free radicals. Consuming antioxidant-rich nutrition counteracts their harmful effects. The diversity of antioxidants in Proancynol 2000 delivers supplemental defense against the aging effects of free radical damage. Age well with the help of supplemental nutrition from AIM!
