This succulent may be small, but it can have a large impact on your health which is why it’s an essential part of our gut healing formula also known as Integrity. Aloe vera has traditionally been considered a healing and medicinal plant, celebrated for its anti-inflammatory, soothing, antibacterial, properties and for the fact that it’s packed with vitamins and antioxidants. ALOE VERA BENEFITS DIGESTION
One of best known of aloe vera benefits is its ability to support good digestion and bowel function. Aloe has been proven to help treat constipation, and it’s one of our favorite tricks to promote better bowel movements. The healing and soothing properties of aloe vera are also beneficial for other digestive issues like heartburn, IBS, and leaky gut. We use aloe vera in our restorative and soothing product Integrity to reduce internal inflammation and to calm the gut lining. ALOE VERA BENEFITS DETOXIFICATION
We already know aloe vera helps our digestion, supporting an essential part of detox. Adding aloe vera to water or smoothies during a cleanse is a great way to support good daily bowel movements and keep waste and toxins moving out of your system. Aloe vera is rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants — nutrients needed by your liver, kidneys and detox organs to function optimally. ALOE VERA BENEFITS HEALTHY STRESS RESPONSE
Aloe vera is not only soothing to your digestive tract, but it can help to calm your nerves as well. It supports your adrenal glands by responding to stress in a healthy way. Aloe vera is an adaptogen — a botanical that helps the body adapt to stress. Adaptogens like aloe vera help your adrenals cope with internal and external stressors in a gentle, stable way rather than with a sudden jolt in cortisol, a stress hormone. This helps to keep your mood and energy levels balanced and reduces your overall stress levels. ALOE VERA ALKALIZES THE BODY
Filling your diet with primarily alkaline foods is one of the basics of healthy eating. Maintaining a good acid-alkaline balance through healthy diet and lifestyle can reduce inflammation and boost the immune system. One of the many aloe vera benefits is its alkalizing nature, further helping to balance your body. ALOE VERA BENEFITS THE IMMUNE SYSTEM
Aloe vera benefits also include strengthening the immune system with all of the antioxidants, amino acids, vitamins, and minerals found in the gel of this succulent. Aloe vera contains immune-boosting polysaccharides, which help the immune system do its job properly. Found in plants like aloe vera, super antioxidants also known as polyphenols are also being studied by scientists to get a closer look at their disease-fighting power. Emerging studies show that polyphenols like those in aloe vera may be very effective in preventing degenerative diseases like osteoporosis. ALOE VERA BENEFITS A HEALTHY HEART
A true cardiovascular champion, aloe vera benefits the heart in several ways. It helps to lower cholesterol levels, to lower high blood pressure, and it may reduce triglycerides. Plus, aloe vera’s polyphenol power can play a major role in preventing cardiovascular disease, making aloe vera a very heart-healthy choice.
