Aloe Vera: The Benefits For Inside And Outside Your Body

·

You likely know aloe vera can help when you have skin burns or sun burn, but did you know it can also be a great addition to your regimen as a juice? You can drink aloe vera juice and give your body the benefits of it from the inside, not just the outside.

You can purchase aloe vera juice at most health food stores and juice bars. Here’s why you may want to consider it.

 

What is Aloe Vera Juice?

Before we get into the benefits of aloe vera juice, it helps to know what it is. It comes from the same clear gel you’d use if you had a burn. The gel comes right from the peeled leaf of the aloe plant. You can grind just the inner leaf or the entire leaf and get the same effects.

Most store-bought aloe juices also have other ingredients added to it for more nutrients and to add some flavor. 

 

May Help with Constipation

If you’re having digestion issues that result in constipation, aloe vera juice may help in the short-term. The plant compounds in aloe vera called anthraquinone glycoside, have laxative effects. It’s been observed in several studies, including one with people experiencing moderate constipation and one with people experiencing chronic constipation, both with positive effects.

The FDA has not recognized aloe vera juice as a remedy for constipation quite yet, for lack of studies done in the US, but in other countries, it’s proven to help.

 

Potentially Reduces Heartburn

If you chronically suffer from heartburn, aloe vera juice may help calm its effects. It has an alkaline pH which helps neutralize your stomach’s acids, making you feel less burn. It’s best to talk to your doctor before incorporating aloe vera juice in your diet for heartburn, but it could be a good addition to help you feel better before exploring medications.

 

Aloe Vera and Dental Health

Aloe vera juice has antibacterial properties and could also help with inflammation in the mouth. It can help reduce plaque, reduce pain after oral surgery, and help with certain side effects of chemotherapy that cause mouth pain.

 

May Increase your Vitamin C Intake

Vitamin C is an antioxidant that helps fight inflammation and may help ward off serious diseases, such as heart disease. Vitamin C also helps boost your immune system. Eight ounces of aloe vera juice contains 9 grams of vitamin C. If you have trouble consuming each vitamin C in foods, aloe vera juice can be a way to boost your consumption.

The increased vitamin C intake included in aloe vera juice may also help you reduce the risk of gastric ulcers from worsening

 

May Help Control Blood Sugar Levels

Aloe vera juice has been shown to help lower blood sugar levels in pre-diabetes patients at risk for type 2 diabetes. The studies conducted were on fasting blood sugar levels. While more studies must be done on diabetes patients themselves, for now it’s good to know that it could lower your blood sugar levels and help you fight the risk of type 2 diabetes.

 

Aloe Vera and Skincare

No one likes the sudden onset of fine lines and wrinkles, but there are only so many products on the market that will work. What if you worked from the inside out, though? Your skin is your largest organ so taking care of it from the inside will benefit you from the outside.

Aloe vera juice may help increase your body’s production of collagen, which can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Some compounds in aloe vera juice may also help fight the effects of UV radiation (sun damage).

 

Final Thoughts

Should you drink aloe vera juice? As with any changes to your routine, always discuss it with your doctor first, especially if you’re trying to treat or prevent a chronic condition.

However, aloe vera juice has many benefits that can help you look and feel better. While it may not be a treatment on its own, it may complement many other efforts you’re taking to heal your body from the inside out whether you have heartburn, constipation, high blood sugar levels, or you need to increase your vitamin C intake.
