Weight loss and diabetes
The benefits of aloe vera are many and its presence in juices, supplements and detox drinks help anyone to take advantage of them.
One of the benefits that help us lose weight is the power of Aloe vera to accelerate metabolism, according to Healthline studies, increasing metabolism also increases the daily amount of calories burned by the body.

Similarly, another study showed that people who drank 100ml of aloe vera juice for eight weeks reduced both their body fat and their weight. In addition, 79% improved the body’s ability to use the hormone insulin. And by improving blood sugar control, ups and downs that cause both increased hunger and cravings can be avoided.

Prevention of aging
The anti-aging effect of Aloe Vera can be obtained in its two forms: drinking its juice and applying it on the skin. Keep in mind that the skin is nourished by what we eat and drink, so the benefits of the drink can be as effective as those applied on the skin itself, and we can achieve better results as long as we have a healthy lifestyle and a balanced diet. That said, what does Aloe Vera do to our skin that makes it look young and glowing?
It is an excellent cellular regenerator, which acts by boosting the creation of cells that give shape and consistency to the skin, stimulating the synthesis of elastin and collagen and thus compensating for their loss with age.
It is also a powerful activator of the immune system, protecting our skin from bacteria (acne) and other pathogens. It is an excellent detoxifier and nourishes our body with vitamins, minerals, amino acids and enzymes.
Lowering LDL cholesterol
In recent years much progress has been made in the research of Aloe Vera as a treatment for cholesterol, especially in its effect on lowering LDL cholesterol levels (low density lipoprotein) and TG (triacylglycerides), as it has proven effective in reducing it and even replacing it with HDL (the so-called good cholesterol). They act as “cleaners” freeing the walls of blood vessels thanks to plant sterols, germanium, aloverose, vitamins, amino acids and enzymes.
High levels of LDL cholesterol are related to cardiovascular problems, since, if there is an excess of this fat in the blood, it accumulates on the walls of the arteries forming a plaque that narrows the lumen of the vessel. This narrowing is known as atherosclerosis.
