Aloe Vera Juice for Healthy
Digestion,
Weight Loss, Detox and AntiAging
By: Jennifer Kays
The use of aloe vera for health and healing
is popularly known. We have used aloe vera for health and
healing for centuries. The aloe plant is related to the
onion/garlic plant and also the lily plant. It's appearance
is very similar to cactus. Aloe vera contains nineteen amino
acids, twenty minerals e.g. calcium and magnesium, enzymes,
polysaccharides, nitrogen and twelve vitamins. These
compounds account for its popularity as a source of
nutrition, a healing agent, and valuable cosmetic enhancing
agent as aloe aids in the elimination of dead skin cells.
Aloe is most popularly known for it's
external application for skin disorders, wounds, and
sunburn. However, many of us are discovering the tremendous
health benefits of aloe for internal use taken in juice
form. Aloe vera helps heal internal tissue damage as
effectively as it helps heal external tissue damage and
promotes new cell growth. Aloe vera has been used as an anti
inflammatory in treating various stomach disorders. Those of
us suffering from indigestion or irritable bowel syndrome
have received relief from aloe vera juice. Used for it's
laxative action, aloe vera helps eliminate toxins e.g. heavy
metals. Aloe vera also reduces stomach acid which is the
cause of heartburn i.e. acid reflux. A healthy digestion
system is essential for maintaining optimal health and
preventing illness and disease caused by toxins that are
reabsorbed into our bodies if they are not eliminated.
Because of aloe vera's beneficial effects on
our digestive system, it has become an efficient and
effective aid for weight loss. Aloe vera helps to reduce and
stabilize our body mass index as it promotes the metabolism
of fat content. As aloe vera juice helps to assimilate
protein in to our bodies and provides a high content of
collagen protein, it helps promote the availability of more
energy for our daily physical activity. Many of us use aloe
vera juice before, during and after our exercise sessions as
it promotes muscle development which is vital for the
burning of fat and weight management. Aloe vera juice also
reduces the amount of time food stays in our intestinal
system through it's elimination promoting properties. This
greatly promotes cleansing of toxins and waste which is
essential when we are participating in a weight loss
program.
Along with strengthening our immune system
with vitamins and minerals, aloe vera juice balances blood
sugar levels and aids in the reduction of cholesterol and
blood fat lipid levels. Also vera actually helps our bodies
absorb the vitamins and minerals we are receiving from other
sources giving greater nutrition to our cells. Aloe vera as
an enzyme aids in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and
protein. Aloe Vera juice improves our blood circulation by
stimulating our capillaries to dilate and helps regulate our
blood pressure as well as fighting infection in our blood
and body with anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties
detoxifying our blood. This action in our blood helps our
immune system protect us from onset of disease and so gives
us a feeling of well being and energetic living.
As an anti inflammatory, aloe vera promotes
the healing of our bones and joints. We have used aloe vera
externally in gels to soothe sore muscles and joints due to
stress, over use, arthritis, etc. Used internally, aloe vera
juice promotes the relief of pain and the increase of
recovery from the inside.
Drinking aloe vera by itself can be a
daunting task because of the taste. However we have
available to us various aloe vera juices flavored with
natural fruit juice flavors to enable the drinking of aloe
vera juice to be a very pleasant as well as a beneficial
health experience.
