It's summer and many of us reach for the aloe after long lazy days in the sun to provide relief from the itchy-burn sensation. The soothing properties are almost magic on the skin, have you ever thought about what else this could do??
Take a drink of this stuff! Drinking aloe helps to:
- Decrease indigestion
- Acts as a natural detox/cleanse
- Relieves symptoms of IBS (irritable bowel syndrome)
- Helps to level blood sugar; especially for diabetics
- Reduction in cholesterol and triglycerides
- Strengthens gums (great if you find aloe in toothpaste)
- Minimizes infection in the ears and eyes
- Relieves arthritis
There are a variety of aloe drinks available at most health food stores. Try to find the concentrated version that suggestion a serving of approximately 2 tbsp. This version doesn't taste the best but is the most potent. Also, many of the more flavorful "aloe drinks" are full of sugar; best to avoid these!
Have you had your aloe shot today?
