Health Benefits Of Aloe Vera by jeron1(m): 6:47am On Jul 15, 2013
Aloe Vera is packed full of
the nutrients your body
needs – inside and out – to
feel GREAT and look
AMAZING.
Lots of people are already familiar
with the many benefits of using Aloe
Vera on the skin – for rashes, cuts,
bruises, sunburn and so on. But not so
many people know about the health
benefits of drinking aloe vera juice.
Firstly, aloe vera juice is completely
safe and it’s very versatile. It’s
actually called an “adaptogen” because
it literally adapts to the body’s needs.
Many of the benefits of drinking aloe
vera juice stem from the fact that it
naturally contains so many different
nutrients: vitamins, minerals, amino
acids and other trace elements.
These are all perfectly balanced in a
proportion that is ideally suited for the
body to utilize effectively for its own
healing and repair. So it’s not quite
true that aloe vera juice is a miracle
cure. It’s more that it contains so
much nutrition that’s vital for the body
to heal itself…
Here, in no particular order, is a guide
to the top ten health benefits of
drinking aloe vera juice:
1. Detox Aloe vera juice is a great
natural aid to detox. With our stressful
lives, the pollution around us and the
junk foods we eat, we all need to
cleanse our systems from time to
time. Some people more often than
others! Drinking aloe vera juice
provides a fantastically rich cocktail of
vitamins, minerals and trace elements
to help our bodies deal with these
stresses and strains everyday.
2. Healthy Digestion A healthy
digestive system makes sure that we
absorb as many of the nutrients as
possible from the foods we eat. Aloe
vera juice has natural detoxifying
abilities; and drinking aloe vera juice
seems to improve bowel regularity
and increases protein absorption. It
also helps to decrease the amount of
unfriendly bacteria and yeast in our
gut. Aloe vera has been shown to help
reduce and soothe heartburn and other
digestive problems.
3. Natural Immune Support
Aloe vera is full of anti-oxidants –
natural immune enhancers which fight
free radicals within our body. Free
radicals are the unstable compounds
produced as a side-effect of our
metabolism. They are thought to
cause various ailments, as well as
contributing to the ageing process.
Drinking aloe vera juice regularly gives
the body a regular supply of anti-
oxidants, which can boost and enhance
the immune system.
4. Reduce Inflammation Aloe
vera juice contains 12 substances
which can slow down or inhibit
inflammation, without any side-
effects. Some people say that drinking
aloe vera juice helps with their stiff,
swollen or painful joints.
5. Collagen and Elastin
Repair for Healthy Skin
Drinking aloe vera juice adds a rich
supply of raw materials to your diet,
which can produce and maintain really
healthy skin. The skin replaces itself
every 28 days. Using the nutritional
building blocks of aloe vera, the skin
can use these nutrients daily to help
combat the effects of ageing. Aloe
vera also helps in soothing minor
burns, cuts, scrapes and skin
irritations.
6. Regulate Weight and
Energy Levels Drinking aloe vera
juice naturally allows the body to
cleanse the digestive system. Our
diets include many substances which
can cause fatigue and exhaustion.
Taken regularly, aloe vera juice
ensures a greater feeling of well-
being, allowing energy levels to
increase and helps maintain a healthy
body weight.
7. Daily Dose of Vitamins &
Minerals Aloe vera juice contains
vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, B12 (the aloe
vera plant is one of the few plants in
the world to contain vitamin B12), C,
E, Folic Acid and Niacin. The human
body cannot store some of these
vitamins, so we need to supplement
them regularly through our diet. The
minerals found in aloe vera include
Calcium, Sodium, Iron, Potassium,
Copper, Zinc, Manganese, Magnesium,
Chromium and more… Plenty of good
nutrition in aloe vera juice!
8. Amino Acids The human body
requires 20 amino acids to build
protein; 8 of these amino acids are
‘essential’ which means the body can’t
make them itself. Aloe vera contains
19 of these amino acids, and 7 of the
essential amino acids. So drinking aloe
vera juice tops up your body’s daily
supply.
9. Dental Health Aloe vera is
extremely helpful for your mouth and
gums. As well as its natural anti-
bacterial and anti-microbial actions, it
contains vitamins and minerals which
promote cell growth and healing.
There are some aloe vera toothgels
available which contain a high level of
pure aloe vera, which may help with
bleeding gums and mouth ulcers.
10. Better than Nutritional
Supplements Recent research has
shown that adding good foods to our
diets, rich in naturally occurring
vitamins and minerals, is far better
than adding supplements alone. The
good news is that Aloe Vera juice is
considered a food, rather than a
manufactured supplement. So drinking
aloe vera juice is probably better than
taking supplements alone, because our
bodies can absorb all the nutrients in
aloe vera more easily, and utilize them
more effectively.
