Did you know the digestive system plays a crucial role in maintaining overall good health? Your gut, made up of our stomach and intestines, can have a major effect on whether our bodies are functioning properly. Poor gut health can cause a multitude of issues including: a weakened immune system (over 70% of your immune health is located in the gut!), occasional heartburn and indigestion, poor metabolism, sleeplessness, and more. But you can help balance your digestion, and in turn, your whole body, with Aloe Vera.
Aloe has been used as a digestive aid for several thousands of years. It’s even appeared on 4,000 year-old Sumerian clay tablets and in Egyptian records extolling its digestive benefits! Across the centuries, aloe’s natural qualities have been celebrated by many cultures around the globe that use it on a daily basis to help maintain good health.
Let’s look at how aloe actually works with your digestive system, and the positive impact it can have on the rest of your body.
Aloe naturally contains over 200 biologically-active components like vitamins, enzymes, amino acids, minerals, and perhaps most importantly: polysaccharides. These components all work together harmoniously and actually create an adaptogenic effect that work to help balance your body’s system and support the reduction of stressors.
Digestion
Aloe Vera is known to help maintain a balanced pH in the stomach. Other products that are meant to help with stomach acid can either end up blocking it or eradicating it entirely, which does not allow your body to digest naturally and absorb vital nutrients.
Aloe works with your own stomach acid to balance and support a healthy environment for digestion, probiotics with beneficial bacteria, and more. This balance helps to maintain healthy regularity and reduce the likelihood of stomach upset and occasional heartburn or acid indigestion.
The polysaccharides found in aloe not only help to reduce high levels of toxins but by doing so, assist in increasing nutrient absorption by transporting nutrients from your foods and supplements to the body. Lily of the Desert aloe is clinically proven to help increase nutrient absorption.
By having your digestion balanced, your body is also able to enjoy more fringe benefits from Aloe vera.
Immune Support
As aloe is a great source of support for good digestion, it is also true for immune health. Aloe is able to help stimulate the white blood cells in your body that act as your natural defense system against stressors like seasonal allergies. Our own brand of Aloe vera is clinically proven to help increase white blood cell counts, assisting your body to stay healthy. Adding aloe to your daily regimen can have a positive impact on your overall immune health throughout the year.
Antioxidant Support
Aloe Vera contains antioxidants that belong to a family of substances called polyphenols. Antioxidants help protect the lining of the gut by supporting the cells in the stomach. They also help produce good bacteria and limit inflammation. Additionally, if you’re taking supplements with probiotics and prebiotics, the antioxidants in Aloe Vera can support your gut health regiment. Lily of the Desert aloe brand is clinically proven to help increase antioxidant support!
