Aloe vera isn’t just a plant with a clear, gel-like interior that serves to decorate the home or garden. It also contains many health benefits for the human body.
One of the main components of aloe vera is aloin, which favors detoxification of the body, regulates the digestive system and protects the body against disease, thanks to its antibiotic properties.
Aloe vera also contains phytosterols (they block the body’s absorption of fats), lophenol and cycloartenol (helps to metabolize fats in the liver) which together help us to lose weight.
In short, these elements allow the plant to remove fatty tissue by helping the body metabolize fatty acids. This also means having a more controlled blood sugar level.
Likewise, aloe vera has other very healthy benefits for the body, such as:
1. Reduce constipation.
2. Strengthen the immune system.
3. Regulate the immune system.
4. Increase the speed of healing on bones, joints and internal tissue.
5. Detoxification of the body via cleansing the colon and digestive system in general.
6. Hydrate the skin and cure acne.
7. Cure stomach ulcers.
It’s also rich in nutrients, containing 19 amino-acids, 20 minerals and 12 vitamins which generally help to keep the body strong and healthy.
If you want to include aloe vera as part of your daily diet, it’s best to drink a glass of aloe juice every morning while fasting. To prepare it, all you need is half an aloe leaf, lemon juice, one tablespoon of honey and a good blender.
