Allow me to take some attention off apple cider vinegar (http://www.popsugar.com/fitness/5-Things-Uses-Apple-Cider-Vinegar-124361) for a moment and shed light on a**ther drink that's been popping in conversations and is even included in some of our favorite cold-pressed juice blends (https://www.pressedjuicery.com/products/juices): aloe vera.
As a topical agent, aloe vera can alleviate general discomfort (http://www.popsugar.com/beauty/DIY-Aloe-Vera-Mist-37944938) from a bad sunburn (and has also shown some promise as a treatment for psoriasis), but imbibing this plant is a whole different story. Researchers believe that the complex carbohydrates (http://www.vegetariantimes.com/article/healing-foods-aloe/?src=v1t2fs) found in the juice are where this plant's powers truly reside - it also contains a number of digestive enzymes, antioxidants, and a natural form of aspirin. With all this said, there are some promised benefits - with some having more merit than others - so get the facts and drink with care.

Digestion: Historically, aloe vera has been used as an effective natural laxative (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK92765/), since the juice of the plant encourages the bowels to move and helps with elimination (http://nccam.nih.gov/health/aloevera). After sipping the juice, it takes about 10 hours for aloe to get things going. Be careful about relying on this as a long-term cure, since using aloe regularly can affect the lining of the intestines.
Blood sugar: Early research suggests that aloe vera juice can help lower blood sugar levels (http://www.med.nyu.edu/content?ChunkIID=21470) in people with type 2 diabetes. However, more thorough testing is needed to determine how beneficial aloe is in the situation, since studies have had conflicting results.
Cholesterol: Although the data is considered insufficient to support this claim, there is a small amount of evidence that suggests taking aloe orally can lower cholesterol (http://www.vegetariantimes.com/article/healing-foods-aloe/?src=v1t2fs). Once again, more studies are needed to see if aloe fulfills this promise!
You should be forewarned, aloe vera juice has a strong, pungent taste. If you can't cope with taking it straight, blend it in a smoothie or juice. Try this fruity strawberry, banana, and aloe vera smoothie (http://www.yumsugar.com/Cooking-Aloe-Vera-22722397) or our avocado, spinach, and aloe smoothie (http://www.fitsugar.com/Vegan-Detox-Avocado-Smoothie-30649872), which is perfect for a day of detox. The recommended serving size for aloe one tablespoon (http://www.med.nyu.edu/content?ChunkIID=21470) up to two times a day.
