Health benefits of aloe vera juice

Khan also explains health benefits of having this amazing juice every morning.

* Aloe vera juice contains polyphenols, which are rich in antioxidants. Antioxidants have been shown to have several health benefits, but specific research on aloe’s antioxidants and human health is lacking.

Aloe vera also has prebiotic compounds that help feed healthy bacteria in the gut and helps in the optimal functioning of the digestive system.

* Aloe vera juice may work as a laxative, though research on the safety of aloe vera products is lacking. Some research suggests aloe could have other benefits on digestive health, but more research is needed.

“It increases intestinal water content, stimulates mucus secretion and increases intestinal peristalsi,” says an article published in PMC.

* Aloe vera juice and mouthwash may improve various dental and oral conditions thanks to their potential antibacterial properties. Still, more research is needed.

Known for its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, aloe vera is useful in treating inflammation in gums or any other dental infection.

Aloe vera is also very helpful in managing diabetes as it helps improve blood sugar and insulin levels. It also cuts bad cholesterol and prevent against heart diseases.
