Lockdown Family survival kit

By Sonja Joubert - AIM Director, Klerksdorp, South Africa

AIM products were a blessing in disguise when Lockdown forced me to be creative with foods to keep my family healthy.

Figuring out “What’s for breakfast, lunch and dinner?” was my biggest daily challenge during lockdown. To make things even harder, panic buying and disruptions to food supply systems, meant some foods would now be difficult to find. It was easy to cut on nutrition and resort to eating unhealthy comfort foods. For many people - including us, unemployment and loss of income made food shopping an additional financial challenge. I can say with certainty that purchasing and preparing fresh meals were really my biggest challenge during lockdown until my first AIM products arrived.

I was really excited to use the products, because I have a great passion for health, nutrition and people. As a mom of four very active boys who take exercise and fitness seriously - I know the importance of healthy eating and using well formulated supplements. My husband is an Optometrist and we know that supplementation plays a crucial part in eye health and protecting yourself against issues. I wanted to ensure our family gets plenty of fruit and vegetables in their diet and with the addition of AIM products in lockdown it was easy to ensure they get as many nutrients and antioxidants as possible. I also know children often need to eat a snack or two during the day to keep them going. Rather than giving them sweets or salty snacks, I started making smoothies with the Garden Trio, ProPeas, nuts and some frozen and fresh fruit for healthier options. These smoothies were not only nutritious and more filling, but delicious and became a part of the kids’ daily routine when they were busy studying or exercising. I am grateful that lockdown and a few AIM products forced me to become more creative. These products assisted in keeping us healthy and protected our immune systems.

Lockdown also gave us time to detox and get rid of all the unnecessary stuff in our home, just like Herbal Fiberblend helped us to detox by cleansing our bodies from toxins. “Gut health” became the most popular phrase in our home.

Once level 3 of lockdown was instituted, we went for our first 50 km cycle ride. It was 6 o’clock in the morning and I decided to mix some Peak

Endurance and RediBeets before we left. When we returned home, I was pleasantly surprised that the ride was without pain and I didn’t feel tired at all. I had a knee replacement in November 2019 and also decided to try Frame Essentials because I was still experiencing pain from time-to-time. I believe it was a combination of all the good nutrition, detox and family time that I was able to start running short distances with ease, something I haven’t been able to do for the past 4 years after injuring my knee on a hiking trip.

When my son and his girlfriend returned to Pretoria to study after staying with us for the first part of lockdown, I received the most precious photo with the caption: “Mom, we are studying for a test with an AIM fruit smoothie to give us energy!”

During lockdown I started to share my photos with friends and soon everybody became excited and started ordering and using the products. In a very short time I became an AIM director, not only earning an income, but with the opportunity to live a lifelong passion namely, to educate and empower people to take responsibility for their health and nutrition. It is starting to become a reality! Every day I am inspired to live life whole-heartedly and I’m happy to be able to know I have a part to play in improving someone’s quality of life. The most rewarding part is the inspiring testimonials from friends telling me they feel better, healthier and more energized in a short period of time.

My biggest challenge in lockdown was figuring out “What’s for breakfast, lunch and dinner?” Lockdown is nearly over, so instead of calling your local takeaway joint to save the day with a fast food dish, use a little bit of creativity with your fast food, Garden Trio and make every meal a celebration of colours and nutrition!

Thanks to AIM, and the Chrysalis Networx platform as well as my amazing upline. The information sessions on the Zoom calls, have been extremely powerful and inspiring. I’d would also like to extend a big thanks to my new AIM family worldwide for their advice and also for the support of friends and clients.

I believe that AIM products have been a gift of Health to our family from God. My motto in life is: “Always be thankful, live purposefully and with passion, follow excellence and success will chase you!”

With AIM products it is easy to build healthy eating habits that will last a lifetime. My husband, children and dogs are all using AIM products now.

Why AIM Works Better

Nutritional supplements go hand in hand with good nutrition. First and foremost, eating well is the foundation of good health. Supplemental nutrients from the AIM product lineup support and strengthen that foundation, adding quality, nutritional fuel to further support and maintain physical and mental well-being.

This concept has been a fundamental part of The AIM Companies™ from the very beginning. It’s just one of the many reasons why AIM nutrition has worked so well for nearly four decades in an increasingly competitive marketplace.

The AIM Difference

By introducing the extraordinary diversity of nutrients from barley grass back in 1982, AIM offered a unique, supplemental path to wellness. BarleyLife continues to keep people well.

In the years that followed AIM’s first green powder, sensibly selected supplements were formulated and added to an ever-expanding list of whole-food concentrates and natural health products, representing the variety of AIM nutrition available today. With products that include gut-detoxifying Herbal Fiberblend, microbiotasupporting FloraFood, body-relaxing Composure and memory-enhancing GinkgoSense, there are choices that can make a healthy difference—something for everyone.

The Key Ingredient in AIM’s Success

Those who made AIM better cannot be acknowledged enough: AIM Members and customers. It all boils down to those who believe in the products and take them regularly and the business builders who independently distribute AIM nutrition worldwide. It is because of them that AIM has worked so well over the years and will continue being better into the future.
