Are you getting enough of Essential Fatty Acids? 20 New Generations 2021 Cash Contest

Are you getting enough of Essential Fatty Acids?

By Charlotte Meschede - Nutritionist No discussion on nutrition is complete without bringing up the need for essential fatty acids. All fats, including saturated fatty acids, have important roles in the body. However, the most important fatty acids are those that the body cannot make and therefore must come from the food we eat.

These essential fatty acids (EFAs) are based on linoleic acid (omega-6 group) and alpha-linolenic acid (omega-3 group). We need both groups of essential fatty acids to survive. For various reasons, EFA deficiency is common in the general population, as is a disproportionate intake of omega-6 fatty acids over omega-3 fatty acids. As such, it is important to eat the right foods to make sure that you’re taking in enough and the right kinds of essential fatty acids. However, there is much more to the story. Studies have shown that increasing the intake of certain essential fatty acids, either alone or in combination with other fats and compounds, can maintain a healthy body composition with improved mental and physical performance.

One clear change in the diet of the population in developed countries has been the replacement of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids by saturated fats and trans-fats as well as by omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids, as evidenced by the higher intake of fatty red meat, processed meat, fried food, fast foods and the excessive use of hydrogenated vegetable oils, especially in the cooking process.

Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids are essential fatty acids, and the members of the omega-3 and omega-6 series are crucial for human health. In biochemical processes, there is competition between these two series. A higher dietary intake of omega-6 results in the excessive incorporation of these molecules in the cell membrane with numerous pathological consequences. Essential fatty acids play a major role in brain development and brain functioning. The omega-3 series members docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) provide fluidity to the cell membrane, facilitating certain processes including neurotransmission and ion channel flow.

Most people refer to the aging process as a visible deterioration in outward appearance such as being overweight, excessive wrinkles, spinal collapse, inability to be mobile and basically just looking old! However, the aging process is far from just external! The internal process of aging can be even more debilitating! Apart from obvious signs such as lack of physical fitness and older looking skin, internal aging means that there is an increase in inflammation, a decrease in immunity and possibly a decline in memory function. Yes, it is true, your diet could be aging you faster than you should be!

Most of the time, when people refer to omega-3 fatty acids in food, we think of fatty fish. However, plant sources of these vital nutrients are as important if not more so. There is, however, emerging evidence for the brain-health-promoting effects of several plant foods rich in polyphenols, inflammation fighting dietary patterns, and plant-based dietary patterns such as the Mediterranean diet that include a variety of fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, and whole grains. The bioactive compounds present in these dietary patterns include antioxidant vitamins, polyphenols, other phytochemicals, and unsaturated fatty acids. In animal models these nutrients and nonnutrients have been shown to enhance neurogenesis (formation of nerve cells), improved message transfer, and neuronal survival by reducing oxidative stress. Randomized clinical trials support the role of plant foods (citrus fruits, grapes, berries, cocoa, nuts, green tea, and coffee) in helping to improve brain function.

Now, more than ever, there is a global encouragement to eat more plantbased foods so we need to become aware of how to meet nutrient needs, particularly those such as iron, calcium and fatty acids, more commonly sought in animal-based food sources. Flax seeds, walnuts, sesame seeds and other raw nuts and seeds as well as their oil counterparts can provide these essential fats

AIMega is an excellent source of plantbased essential fatty acids and packs an amazing punch when it comes to supplying these valuable nutrients. Of course, you need to pay attention to your diet and you MUST include coldpressed oils such as extra virgin olive oil, sesame oil, avocados, walnuts and of course the all-favourite flax seeds and oil, but in the absence of knowing that you are getting ENOUGH of these power nutrients, you can ensure it by taking a daily dose of AIMega capsules.

It’s always the new generations who come along that determine the future. This is the natural way of progression. The same is true for the new Members who generate growth for AIM. They are the focus of the New Generations 2021 Cash Contest. Basic Contest Details

The contest starts on July 1 and runs through December 31, 2021.

*There is no minimum ordering requirement; however, credits do not begin accruing until a new first-level Member has ordered a cumulative 75 BVP or more. Your new 2nd- and 3rd-level Members must be sponsored in the downline of your new 1st-level Member for you to receive contest credits on their activity and promotions during the contest period. Prize Monies

To increase your opportunity to earn a cash prize, THREE separate contests will take place around the world: United States South Africa Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United Kingdom Generous cash prizes will be awarded to the top achievers in each contest. Additionally, the top three worldwide contest achievers will earn bonus cash. A total of 12 AIM Members will be awarded cash prizes in the SA New Generations 2021 Cash Contest.

The Approach

The entire focus of the New Generations 2021 Cash Contest is on new Member activity and promotions from July 1 – December 31, 2021. In other words, cash prizes will be awarded only to memberships that sign up new Members and nurture their presence in the AIM Family.

Even if you have only recently become a Member intent on building an AIM business, you are evenly placed with those who have had years of experience.

Introducing AIM

It’s all about gaining the attention of people who may never have heard about the incredible health benefits of AIM nutrition. We all know that there are so many other nutritional products in the marketplace. The challenge is to get people enthused about choosing nutrition that works. Don’t be afraid to approach people about AIM. Practice builds confidence. And don’t be afraid to fail. Failure is a key ingredient of eventual success. It is believed that the most effective salespeople sell themselves by exuding genuine charm and a level of confidence that makes others take notice. Being charming puts people at ease. And confidence comes from your knowledge of AIM products and their benefits. Take advantage of AIM videos, datasheets and other literature to become conversant with the products and how they can help people you meet. This makes it easier for you to have engaging discussions. During those conversations, being up-front that whole-food powders and nutritional supplements are not magic pills with instantaneous results will contribute to your credibility. Besides, letting people know that going natural requires a commitment will also contribute to the contest’s focus on new Member activity and promotions. Your efforts in signing up new Members as well as seeing them promote will result in the earning of credits in the New Generations 2021 Cash Contest. The more credits you accrue, the closer you come to earning a cash prize.
