2. Improves digestion

for proper absorption of nutrients and minerals

absorption and improves bowel regularity. It also
helps eliminate the unfriendly yeast and bacteria
found in our gut. Its also effective for easing digestion

problems like heartburn.

3. May destroy cancerous tumors

The gel of aloe vera helps boost the immune system function and destroy cancerous tumors. A study published in
International Immunopharmacology (1995) showed that aloe vera polysaccharides exhibit potent macrophageactivating activities including producing increased volumes of nitric oxide (which has antitumor potential).
4. Stabilizes blood sugar
The dried gel of aloe vera helps lower blood sugar. Its observed that diabetics who took aloe vera for 3 months
experienced a drop in fasting blood sugar levels and improves total cholesterol. There have been several studies

5. Collagen repair
Aloe vera is great for repairing collagen. The juice of aloe vera supplies raw material to your diet responsible for
maintaining and producing healthy skin. As our skin changes every 28 days, the nutritional blocks of aloe vera
help combat the effects of aging. Aloe vera also soothes minor burns, cuts, scrapes, and skin irritation.
6. Improves dental health
Aloe vera is useful for keeping the mouth and gums healthy. Its anti-bacterial and anti-microbial actions promote
cell growth and healing. There are several tooth gels available that contain pure aloe vera and help eliminate
problems of bleeding gums and mouth ulcers.

7. Cardiovascular health
There have been several studies that show when aloe vera extract is injected into the blood, it increases oxygen
transportation and diffusion capabilities of red blood cells. In 2000, a study concluded that aloe vera can help
lower the risk of heart disease and high cholesterol as it enhances oxidation and circulation of blood. It also
makes blood less sticky.
