Problems with the Digestive System People are becoming increasingly concerned about the quality of their food and the
impact of a polluted environment upon the body. Much of the food we eat contains chemicals, insecticides and additives as well as saturated fats. When ingested, these
pollutants have an adverse effect on the cells of the gut, thereby slowing digestion. The waste then begins to putrefy and the nutrients in the food are not absorbed.
Elimination of the waste slows down, causing bowel problems to set in. Consequently, Irritable Bowel Syndrome and intestinal problems such as Ulcers, Colitis, Diverticulitis,
Chronic Diarrhoea and Constipation have become big problems in the UK. How Does Aloe Vera Work?
- Saponins in Aloe Vera gently cleanse the intestines, softening and moisturising them.
- Polysaccharides in Aloe Vera protect the lining of the gastrointestinal tract whilst facilitating the absorption of nutrients, resulting in healthier cellsand increased energy.
- It reduces abnormal putrefaction in the bowel which can cause toxic and cancer producing substances to form.
- It improves gastrointestinal function and bowel flora composition.
- It improves stool density.
- It eliminates bloating in the stomach.
- The natural anti-inflammatory effect of Aloe Vera reduces inflammation without the side effects of steroids and anti-inflammatory drugs.
- It protects the oesophagus from acid reflux.
- Aloe Vera is a natural antibiotic.
- Aloe Vera is very effective in warding off viral infections.
- The yeast count in stool cultures is markedly diminished when taking Aloe Vera on a regular basis.
- It eliminates bulging and sagging of the gut.
- It improves muscle tone within the digestive system.
- There are many vitamins present in Aloe Vera which act as anti-oxidants helping to prevent damage to the gut lining.
- Many minerals are found in Aloe Vera including Potassium which stimulates the kidneys and liver to get rid of waste.
- Aloe contains 7 of the 8 essential amino acids and 11 of the 14 secondary amino acids. They are the building blocks of life.
- There are many enzymes found in aloe Vera. Their function is to break down the food we eat to better facilitate the absorption of nutrients.
- The natural pain killing properties in Aloe Vera give relief without side effects.
- Maldigestion and digestive dysfunction can cause stress to the immune system, sometimes causing Immuno-Depressive conditions. The Acemannan
found in Aloe Vera normalises absorption of nutrients and increases tolerance of allergenic foods.
- The virucidal, bactericidal and fungicidal properties of Aloe Vera help control Candida overgrowth so that normal gastrointestinal bacterial flora can be
restored. Laboratory tests have found Aloe Vera to be 100% efficient against Candida Albicans.
- Tests have been conducted in various parts of the world for gastrointestinal function using the Aloe Vera Juice Morley's provide and the findings are excellent.
