Digestive health is essential for overall well-being, as it ensures that organ systems function optimally and essential nutrients are absorbed.
According to Joanne Auslander Moreno, MPH, RDN of the Center for Healthy Guts in Santa Monica, California, aloe vera gel and juice contain several digestive enzymes that aid in digestion. Additionally, they have mucilage that soothes mucous membranes.
2. Helps in weight loss
Aloe vera juice may be a natural weight loss aid, although its effects cannot be guaranteed. It does help with digestive health and heartburn and can even reduce cholesterol levels.
Unfortunately, drinking too much aloe vera juice can cause diarrhea and electrolyte imbalances if you consume more than a tablespoon at a time. This is probably due to aloin, an anthraquinone present in aloe vera juice that acts as a laxative.
3. Helps reduce inflammation
Aloe vera juice is full of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds. It also supplies amino acids, sterols, enzymes as well as many other beneficial nutrients.
Although generally safe to drink, excessive consumption can cause cramps or diarrhea and lead to electrolyte imbalance.
4.Helps lower blood pressure
Aloe vera juice has been believed to dilate capillaries and strengthen arterial walls, lowering blood pressure. Additionally, this reduces stress on your heart which benefits your overall well-being.
