Digestive problems are considered the number one health problem in North America. Most digestive problems can be traced to a diet lacking in fiber and to intestinal tract disorders resulting from a colon that doesn’t function as well as it should. Enter AIM Herbal Fiberblend® and its no-nonsense formula that addresses both those concerns.
According to an article in WebMD, there are four warning signs of a diet lacking fiber.
(1) Constipation is the most obvious sign. It is defined as an individual having fewer than three bowel movements per week and/or the stools are hard and dry.
Be aware of (2) weight gain. Proper fiber intake results in a person feeling full after a meal. A lack of fiber, therefore, can have the opposite feeling, meaning a person doesn’t feel full so continues to put away the calories. More calories equal more weight.
Another warning, though not as well-known as being associated with lack of fiber, is (3) blood sugar fluctuation. Fiber delays the absorption of sugar, which in turn assists in controlling blood sugar levels. So more fiber can aid in battling diabetes and diabetes-related symptoms.
Not feeling so well? (4) Diet-related nausea and fatigue can signal a diet lacking in fiber. If your diet is composed of foods without a lot of fiber – meats, eggs, and cheese for example – your calories have too much emphasis on protein and not enough on fiber. An accompanying problem with too much protein and not enough fiber is high cholesterol.
AIM Herbal Fiberblend® is formulated to add fiber to the diet and to introduce herbs into the digestive tract to cleanse and detoxify the colon. A clean, well-functioning colon is less likely to be a source of infections and disease and reduces the need for additional calories to feed the body because the colon wall is clean thus permitting needed nutrients to enter the body’s various systems using a minimum amount of caloric intake.
AIM Herbal Fiberblend® provides two types of fiber, water-soluble fiber and insoluble fiber. Daily fiber intake is recommended at 25 to 30 grams per day, with a ratio of three parts insoluble fiber to one part water-soluble fiber. The average North American consumes 10-15 grams of fiber daily. Adding AIM Herbal Fiberblend® to the diet at the suggested serving level of one tablespoon twice daily adds up to 10 grams of fiber. Fiber is found only in plants and fruits and has no calories.
The fiber value of AIM Herbal Fiberblend® is only one-half of the benefit of the product. It also cleanses the colon through a tested combination of herbs and other ingredients that promote cleansing by eliminating toxins from the body and from various organs. The ingredient names are pretty exotic sounding but the key point is that they work. For example, the U.S. ingredients list includes alfalfa leaves, black walnut hulls, capsicum (fruit), cascara sagrada, hibiscus flower, Irish moss, licorice root, marshmallow root, mullein leaves, oatstraw, passionflower leaves, psyllium husks, pumpkin seeds, rose hips, senna, shavegrass, slippery elm bark, violet leaves, witch hazel leaves, and yucca root. The combination helps relieve constipation, reduces cholesterol, reduces and eliminates internal parasites, lubricates the intestinal tract, has anti-inflammatory characteristics, and soothes stomach cramps.
But what are the health problems and concerns that can be aided by a fiber-rich diet and by a colon not clogged and partially blocked by the processed foods and unhealthy eating habits so common in today’s style of living and eating?
• High cholesterol (a factor in heart disease), according to WebMD, can be reduced by 0.5 percent to 2 percent for every gram of soluble fiber taken daily. Soluble fiber binds to cholesterol thus helping rid it from the digestive system.
• Studies show that a high fiber diet can reduce the risk of diabetes by 28 percent. By contrast, in women for example, a diet lacking fiber but high in sugar can more than double the risk of contracting type 2 diabetes.
• Cancer is one scary word and, according to the National Cancer Institute, about one-third of cancer deaths may be diet-related. Studies show that a diet filled with fiber and drinking plenty of liquids may reduce the risks of some forms of cancer.
• Hemorrhoids, which are swollen veins near the anus and the lower rectum, normally develop when stools are hard and difficult to pass. The straining can be reduced by softer stools – one of the intents of the fiber in AIM Herbal Fiberblend® and the colon cleansing properties in the product.
• Irritable bowel syndrome is marked by cramping, bloating, gas, diarrhea, and constipation. Relief, as with hemorrhoids, is best realized by a fiber-loaded diet aiding softer, easier-to-pass stools.
AIM Herbal Fiberblend® is the ideal product as a source of fiber and cleansing herbs to aid in bowel regularity, scouring the intestinal walls, and ridding the body of toxins. AIM Canada has the AIM Herbal Fiberblend® formula, however, AIM Cascara Sagrada™ is sold separately.
“AIM Herbal Fiberblend® is a godsend to my life,” says Tracy Brown, a Wholesale Member from Redondo Beach, California (pictured with husband, Jim). “Last year was probably the worst year for me health-wise. I continued to get the flu, chronic sinus infections, bronchitis, and pain in my left abdomen area. I was convinced that there was a twist or blockage in my intestines. I went for many tests – ultrasound, CT, MRI, colonoscopy – and was put on lots of different kinds of medicines but with no relief. I was becoming more stressed and depressed as the months passed. Finally, I was diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome. I tried several different products with fiber and they worked sometimes but the pain remained.
“Then a friend told me about AIM Herbal Fiberblend® and she sent me a bottle. I have been using it religiously one or two times a day and I can say that I am really on my way to a clean system and, just as important, I have no pain. I believe this will be a life-long product for me and I want to shout out to everyone how well this product works. I hope that I can help someone else who needs this product.”
Preferred Members Robert and Geneva Proctor, Peoria, Arizona, are big believers in the value of AIM Herbal Fiberblend®. They write:
“We have been using AIM Herbal Fiberblend® for more than three years. We really believe it has given us life. Geneva was having to use enemas daily but since we started using the product our colons are clean naturally – no more strain and long hours in the bathroom. It also gives you energy and who wouldn’t want more of that.
“Geneva has cancer and if she didn’t take AIM Herbal Fiberblend®, she would be in a lot more pain. We have been told cancer begins in the colon. We wish we knew about AIM Herbal Fiberblend® 30 years ago. Our bodies are natural and we need natural products to give us better health. It just makes sense. If this helps one person then we have done well by sharing it.”
