FEEL TOP NOTCH WITH AN ALOE VERA DETOX
You may swear by your trusted aloe vera for sunburn after a day spent way too long in the sun. But did you know aloe vera is the oldest medicinal plant used for other health benefits?
We can trace aloe vera as far back as 3500-4000 BC, when the Egyptians, and many generations after them, used it for its various healing and health properties.
To this day, aloe vera is still used for its anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, soothing, and detoxifying properties. It is also packed with vitamins and antioxidants.
Due to all these powerful properties, many are using aloe vera for detox purposes. A combination of these properties, minerals, vitamins, antioxidants, and beneficial plant compounds, aids the body in cleansing itself by getting rid of toxins, improving immunity, and aiding digestion.
But first, we must know why the body needs to detoxify itself, what causes toxins, and how you can assist the body in detoxing with aloe vera.
Why Detox?
Why does the body need to detox?
------Detoxification is a crucial process in the human body as it eliminates a build-up of toxins in your body.
Toxins that accumulate over time can lead to health issues and significantly affect your health in the long run. Toxins can cause constipation; poor digestion; bloating; fatigue; joint pain; muscle ache; skin problems; bad breath; heart disease; cancer; arthritis; food allergies.
By removing toxins, or detoxifying, you are cleansing your body of waste on both a cellular and deep tissue level.
The body can detoxify itself, mainly through the liver, kidneys, bowels, lymph, and skin. Unfortunately, we live in a time where our food, water, sleep, exercise, and environmental quality could be better—making it extremely hard for the liver to do an outstanding job all by itself.
And this is where our bodies need some extra help from our actions to improve the detoxifying process.
Causes of toxins in the body
------Quite a few lifestyle factors and poor bodily functions can increase toxins in the body. These are some leading culprits:
Constipation can cause the accumulation of harmful bacteria, yeast, and parasites in the body, increasing toxins and an underperforming immune system.
Poor digestion of complex foods like animal protein, dairy, complex carbs, fiber-rich foods, and sugar leads to the accumulation of waste and toxins in the body.
The build-up of mercury, lead, arsenic, and plastic particles in the body initiates toxicity and can lead to chronic poisoning.
Lifestyle factors including alcohol, smoking, sugar-laden foods, and foods high in saturated fats.
HOW CAN YOU USE ALOE VERA FOR DETOX?
The body can eliminate harmful toxins by itself. Still, sometimes the toxic load is too much, and the liver needs some help.
Aloe vera contains many vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and triterpenoid saponins (natural plant products that defend against pathogenic microbes) that can assist the detox process.
This combination of compounds in aloe vera help with:
- Cleansing the colon
- Cell regeneration
- Supporting the immune system
- Increasing energy levels
- Detoxifying the blood
- Reduces sugar in the blood
- Promotes healthy digestive functioning
- Break down contaminated food residues
- Neutralizes harmful toxins.
Many benefits aloe vera offers work together to help the body detoxify itself optimally, making aloe vera a powerful detox agent.
Improving constipation and digestive comfort
Aloe vera can improve digestive comfort, bowel movement, reduce bloating, help relieve constipation and prevent diarrhea - all these are essential for detoxification and avoiding the build-up of toxins.
Aloe vera also offers healing and soothing properties that benefit other digestive issues like IBS, heartburn, and leaky gut.
Antibacterial and Antioxidant Properties
Aloe vera juice contains powerful antioxidants, polyphenols, which are essential for health and inhibits the growth of infection-causing bacteria in the body. It also has antibacterial, antiviral, and antiseptic properties that may help heal wounds and treat skin problems.
Aloe Vera Alkalizes the Body
Aloe vera is alkaline in nature that neutralizes harmful toxins. Maintaining a good acid-alkaline balance can reduce inflammation and bring balance to your body.
Aloe Vera Improves the Immune System
With all of its antioxidants, amino acids, vitamins, and minerals, aloe vera assists the immune system in fighting diseases and eliminating toxins.
