Part 1 -
Introduction
After the mission statement and the core values of The AIM Companies, the Healthy
Cell Concept is perhaps the most important idea that sets AIM apart
from other health and nutrition companies. This concept—this
philosophy—is the basis for the AIM products and for improving quality
of life. While other companies may look to just jump onto the “hot
product” bandwagon, AIM requires that all products adhere to the Healthy
Cell Concept and improve quality of life.
The Healthy Cell Concept proposes that keeping the cell—the
basic unit of the body—healthy results in the body being healthy. The
body and health are holistic: that is, they are both the greater whole of
a number of smaller parts.
The Healthy Cell Concept focuses on five of these smaller parts:
- Cell Food
- Cell Exercise
- Cell Environment
- Cell Protection
- Healthy Mental Attitude
These “parts” are both separate from each other and interrelated.
Understanding and practicing the five concepts expressed in the Healthy
Cell Concept adds up to the greater whole of a healthier life. 
The Importance of Education
Educating yourself on the ideas found in the Healthy Cell Concept
is the best thing you can do to improve your quality of life and the lives
of those around you. The Healthy Cell Concept is important to
understand because first and foremost, it gives you an understanding of
the link between diet, health, and the AIM products. This will help you
lead a healthier lifestyle and understand the place of the AIM products in
a healthy lifestyle.
Over the next few months, we will be looking at the Healthy Cell
Concept. We will explain each of the five concepts and, more
importantly, discuss ways you can incorporate them into your lifestyle and
communicate them to others. We will look at the Healthy Cell Concept as a
philosophy that will improve quality of life.
When we finish with this series, we hope you have three things: an
understanding of the Healthy Cell Concept; ideas on how to
communicate this concept to others; and knowledge about how the AIM
products are aligned with the concept. 
Getting started

Book) or (Manual).

What to do:
Next month, we will begin looking at the first part of the first concept:
Cell Food. We will cover proteins, carbohydrates, and fat.
“Cell Food” by Dr. Mary Ruth Swope in the Healthy Cell Concept
pocket book (pp. 4-15).
Read the following pages in the “Cell Food” section of the Healthy
Cell Concept softcover book by Eric Exline: Harmful Substances in Our
Food: Sugar (pp. 29-33); Excessive fat (pp. 33-39)
Think about the following questions, and create a list of questions,
ideas, and inspirations. Bring this to your group meeting!
Think about this
- What is the Healthy Cell Concept? What does it mean to you?
What are the five concepts?
- According to Dr. Swope, why is it important to be knowledgeable
about food and its relationship to us?
- What are some disadvantages to eating meat?
- How does sugar hurt us? How does sugar affect the immune system?
- Is fat 100 percent bad? What does too much fat lead to?
- What will you do to use this knowledge in your life?
- How could you best communicate the information you have learned to
others?
- How might you use this information in your AIM business?
The Cell
The basic living unit of the body is the cell. Every structure in the body
is composed of a collection of many different cells, each performing its
function in support of the overall success or failure of the human body.
In all, your body contains about 75 trillion cells, each working
independently so that as a whole you will be healthy.
Each cell is especially adapted to perform one particular function. For
example, the 25 trillion red blood cells in a typical adult body perform
the specific function of transporting oxygen from the lungs to the other
cells.
All cells are small chemical factories, combing through and separating
various elements to create the energy that sustains life. Although these
factories—these cells—and their end products often differ considerably
from each other, all of them have certain similar characteristics. In all
cells, for example, oxygen combines with a carbohydrate, fat, or protein
to release the energy required for cells to function. In all cells, the
basic way that nutrients are changed into energy remains the same. In all
cells, the waste generated is discarded into the fluids that surround it.
Almost all cells have the ability to reproduce themselves, and whenever
cells of a particular type are destroyed, the remaining cells will
generally divide again and again until the need to replenish themselves
has been met.
The Healthy Cell Concept
Life and health are the balanced interaction of all body cells. Cells
group to form organs, tissue, bone, and other parts that make up our
physical being. Each individual cell consumes fuel, produces energy, and
eliminates waste. When given the necessary components of the Healthy Cell
Concept—cell food, cell exercise, cell protection, cell environment, and
a healthy mental attitude—our body, in the totality of its cells, can
maintain a perfect balance of life and health. 
Cell Food
For our cells to be healthy, they must have pure, whole, natural, fresh
foods. The best foods are raw foods, as their elements remain intact as
they are created by nature. Raw foods are not modified by cooking or
processes that add to or subtract from the natural substances found in
them. If we eat well, we do much toward achieving and maintaining health. 
Cell Exercise
Our cells need exercise to remain healthy. Exercise provides strength,
flexibility, and mental alertness. Exercise also provides overall good
health. 
Cell Environment
The environment we live in is also important to our health. We may eat
well and exercise, but if we live in polluted areas, we are hurting
ourselves. Our cells need clean air and clean water to work well. 
Cell Protection
Our body’s immune system is our best tool for fighting disease—it
provides us with everything we need to stay healthy. If we can maintain
our immune system, there will be little need to use pharmaceutical drugs
or undergo surgery. We can strengthen our immune systems through rest,
stress management, cell food, and a healthy attitude. 
Healthy Mental Attitude
How we feel mentally is just as important as how we feel physically. If
you maintain a positive attitude on life, you will feel better physically.
