The Heart of Things
At the center of activity in the human body beats the heart. Pumping blood throughout the circulatory system, the heart beats roughly 2.5 billion times during an average lifespan. That equates approximately to 100,000 daily beats, pumping around 2,000 gallons of blood to circulate hormones, nutrients, oxygen, etc. wherever required and transport metabolic waste (e.g., carbon dioxide) for removal.
At the heart of all of this activity is an organ often characterized as being about the size of a fist. Men’s hearts are physically larger than women’s, weighing in at around 10 ounces for males and 8 ounces for females. Whatever the size of your heart, it is of utmost importance to support its lifetime of activity with wholesome nutrition, regular exercise and sufficient sleep for maintaining optimal performance.

Whole foods from primarily plantbased sources keep your body and its weight healthy, a win-win situation for your heart. Frequent exercise is an essential ingredient for long-lasting heart health and physical fitness. Both a healthy diet and physical movement promote a regular sleeping pattern, which, in turn, maintains cardiovascular health. All told, they’re a trio of actions that truly gets to the heart of things. And AIM nutrition complements this foundation for your cardiovascular health.
AIMed at the Heart
Given the importance of nutrition for the heart, AIM’s whole-food powders provide whole-body health benefits that include hearty support from the nutritious greens in BarleyLife and the beet-rich red in RediBeets, which boosts nitric-oxide levels, supports circulation and helps maintain healthy blood pressure.
What's more, a variety of AIM products include specific ingredients that target cardiovascular health. Plantbased essential fatty acids in AIMega are healthy fats that required for proper nutrition. The coenzyme Q10 in CellSparc 360 sparks energy production in the cells of hardworking hearts. Unique compounds in the three garlic ingredients that make up GarlicAIM contribute hearthealthy benefits.
In the end, it all adds up to protecting your heart with healthy choices.
