In all my reading I learned that Aloe Vera juice is very good for you. In trying to help Den feel better I suggest to him that he needed to start drinking this stuff. Well he was less than enthused. With Den in tow we ventured to "Mr Nutrition Market" in Van Buren Ar a very knowledgable health food store. They were so helpful in pointing us in the right direction with Enzymes to aid in food digestine. The best find was Georges Aloe Vera Juice. Tasteless and colorless. Looks and tastes like water but 4oz a day packs a health filled punch.
Health benefits include Essential Ammino Acids, Anti Inflamitory agent, Collegen and Elastin repair, Daily dose of vitamins, daily dose of minerals, regulates weight and energy levels, immune support and function, and aids in healthy digestion. At $24 a gallon it is pretty cost effective. I figure it can't hurt. If it does only half of what it claims I will be happy. After making Den aware of what his diet is doing to his over all energy or lack of and just what is in his food, he is getting more receptive to changing gradually. None the less some change is good.
I am usually not a big vitamin and supplement fan. I read a long time ago that your body doesn't adsorb very much of the tablet form supplements, and that if you eat right your body will get enough of what you really need. Well I am not too sure of that now. Still not a fan of tablet form supplements, however there are liquid vitamins and powder greens that are better absorbed. In all my studies I have learned a lot about food, additives and preservatives. Not really liking what I am reading. That is a whole other topic. I wish I had a Trader Joes or a Whole Foods here. I am happy that I do have a local market that has some items. A Dr told me that if you can't "Hunt it, Fish it, Pick it from a tree or bush" you shouldn't eat it. I am thinking that is a good rule. A lifetime of convenience has given way to common like-minded eating habits that die hard.
Join me in the 30 day Aloe Vera juice challenge, in doing so Keep Moving!
