AIM’s Quality Assurance Department recently tested to see which free (unbound) amino acids are in BarleyLife. Mind you, this test did not look for the amino acids that are bound to the plant matter but, instead, only examined the unbound amino acids. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. The body produces some amino acidsContinue reading “BarleyLife Profile of Free Amino Acids”

Our Journey with AIM
Our first introduction to a green juice product was in 1987, when Mary was handed a container of powder. She was pregnant with our youngest daughter and was told it would be good to take for her pregnancy and nursing. After taking it for months, she stopped as we thought it was for pregnancy only.Continue reading “Our Journey with AIM”
Help from The AIM Companies and God’s Provision
My dad, Chairman’s Club Director Ralph Casey, was a minister, but both my parents used to do a lot of work for churches. It didn’t pay much, but that wasn’t why they did it. My father liked to quote the expression Jehovah-jireh, which roughly translated means “God will provide.” When my parents were about toContinue reading “Help from The AIM Companies and God’s Provision”
Majority of Parents Fail to Provide Adequate Nutrition for Their Kids, Says Majority of Parents
Two-thirds of parents aren’t providing their kids with the building blocks of proper nutrition. It’s not a bunch of egghead scientists making this claim. This statistic comes from mouths of parents. The C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital in Michigan recently reported the results of their nationwide survey, and although most parents believe that proper nutrition is important toContinue reading “Majority of Parents Fail to Provide Adequate Nutrition for Their Kids, Says Majority of Parents”
Protein, Carbs Build Strong Bones after a Workout
It’s quite common for exercise enthusiasts to guzzle protein drinks after a big workout, but they’re usually doing it to add muscle mass or to aid in recovery. Some may even be doing it to look cool! A new study published in Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise suggests that consuming some protein and someContinue reading “Protein, Carbs Build Strong Bones after a Workout”
7 Reasons To Get More Potassium
The World Health Organization released a report last year, stating that nearly everybody (99.7% of US citizens and, surprisingly the number was somehow slightly higher for Mexicans and Brits) is low on potassium. Those statistics almost make this article superfluous, but let’s soldier on anyway. Potassium is an important electrolyte. We need the stuff forContinue reading “7 Reasons To Get More Potassium”
Vitamin D Puts the D in StrengtheneD
Maintaining a healthy muscle mass isn’t just for bodybuilders and weightlifters, it’s important for everyone’s overall health and well being. Having a salubrious amount of lean muscle mass strengthens connective tissues, lowers the risk of osteoporosis, boosts mood, increases metabolic rates and bone density, lowers the risk of injury and improves blood-sugar control. Big muscles also lookContinue reading “Vitamin D Puts the D in StrengtheneD”
Flavonoids: The Unsung Dietary Heroes Strike Again
When you see health foods being advertised on TV, the commercials tend to tout the product’s vitamins and mineral content. That’s fine. Those things are great. We all need those. However, vitamins and minerals are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to nutrition. What we rarely see splashed across a two-page ad inContinue reading “Flavonoids: The Unsung Dietary Heroes Strike Again”
New Study: ATP Improves Performance, Power Output
You can walk to the nearest gas station to pick up a “sports” beverage. You might feel quite sporty drinking it, but does it actually boost sports performance ? Sure it may replenish lost electrolytes and water, but will it help you run faster, jump higher or kick harder? We can’t speak for every gas-station sports drink, butContinue reading “New Study: ATP Improves Performance, Power Output”
Why Juice Powder Concentrate Is Superior to a Leaf Powder
When selecting a green barley juice powder, you may not think there is much of a difference between the brands. It’s all just a matter of an attractive label design, some fancy marketing blurbs on the packaging and a price tag. The ingredients seem similar, and surely, any old canister will do. That is simply notContinue reading “Why Juice Powder Concentrate Is Superior to a Leaf Powder”
