A New Lease on Life Through Nutrition
Shared by Giles Richardson, AIM Group Builder in Roodepoort, South Africa
For the greater part of the past 40 years, I have lived with stiffness and severe pain in my body. Getting up from a chair or into a car has been a major challenge. I was also plagued with stabbing nerve pain running up my leg and burning pain in my foot. Not anymore!

I turned 76 on January 21, 2023, and friends and family have commented on how well I look for my age. They are impressed that I am able to go to the gym five days a week for workout classes and do a parkrun as often as possible. I believe that following a healthy diet and supplementing with AIM products has a lot to do with my well-being.

I took my first AIM steps after attending a presentation by our sponsor in July 2018. Due to years of gut issues, I started using BarleyLife and later added Herbal Fiberblend for nutritional support as well as Renewed Balance body cream.
Over time, I was able to address other health problems, including constipation, food intolerances, low energy, poor sleep and a weight issue, by using a variety of other AIM products such as FloraFood and AIMega and omitting gluten, dairy and eggs from my diet.
With this big lifestyle change and the introduction of other AIM products, I am now able to enjoy life fully. My health improvements impressed my friends and family, and so I can help them with their health issues.
Getting involved with AIM and assisting people with the use of the AIM products has also opened opportunities for us as pensioners to assist in covering our monthly AIM products. I am thankful for this new lease on life and can look forward to the rest of my retirement.
