Aloe vera water is yet another trend we’ve seen bombard the supermarket shelves, billboards, and our best promoter – Instagram. All our favourite celebrities are drinking it and promoting it, so of course, that means we are too. We all know how great aloe vera is for our bodies, but when it becomes available in drink form, all health conscious-fanatics become even more hyped than them hearing the word ‘avocado’. Here are 8 health benefits of aloe vera juice you never knew.
Aloe juice carries ingredients that naturally enhance collagen and hyaluronic acid which is known to help acne and bad skin. It is common for people to experience acne or spots throughout their lifetime, but consuming a drink that is filled with beneficial skin ingredients, will only help say goodbye to our un-welcomed friends residing on our face. Byeeeeee. One of the greatest health benefits of aloe vera juice.
We all know the struggle of trying to lead a healthy lifestyle as a student on a budget. I am sure we would all love to consume 5-star meals regularly or be able to afford a can off Dolmio sauce (we still love you Asda’s own!), but affording the best of the best food can hurt our rationing system. A drink that contains ingredients and vitamins that allows us to resume eating our big-macs while having an intake of aloe vera surely makes all our dreams come true. It flushes out our system and detoxifies impurities from our bodies.
It is a great answer to lowering high blood pressure as it dilates the capillaries and improves the circulation in your veins. Vitamin C is also a great way in reducing blood pressure, and guess what… aloe vera has it plenty of it!
Aloe vera helps eliminate pathogenic oral microflora aka the bacteria in our mouths. By reducing these bacterias we naturally carry, means our gums will be healthier and essentially our teeth will become healthier and whiter!
Immune-boosting polysaccharides are found in aloe juices, which helps encourage our antibodies to fight against bacteria in our bodies. Having a healthy immune system helps keep our bodies pure and strong, leading to a better and happier lifestyle. It has proven to help reduce cases of asthma, eczema and Crohn’s disease. Yes to all of these health benefits of aloe vera juice.
Unfortunately, this isn’t a ‘get out of jail free‘ card, nor can it reverse time to when we had our lives and bodies in shape. But, aloe vera carries ingredients that allow our bodies to be detoxified which promotes weight loss.
Growing a head of long healthy locks can feel like a full-time job, and a never-ending story of maintaining, protecting and nourishing the hair we have. Aloe vera juices carry a plethora of vitamins and enzymes that promote dead skin cells on our scalp to repair – meaning healthier and faster-growing hair (get your hair salon on speed dial!).
Another great ingredient it carries is Auxin and Gibberellins. These two hormones help anti-inflammatory and provide wound-healing properties. For centuries aloe vera has been a great at-home remedy for people suffering from burns, frostbite, cold sores and eczema, so having a juice that not only tastes great but can help our bodies from the inside-out, is another reason why we should replace our cans of pop for this juice!
