All about the Health Benefit of Aloe Vera Properties
Aloe Vera is Natures Gift.... Aloe vera is a rich source of over two hundred naturally occurring nutritional substances. Aloe Vera Properties include:-
Amino Acids - the building blocks of proteins. The human body requires 22 amino acids for metabolism but the body can only make 12 of them. Aloe Vera provides 20 of them. More importantly, it provides the 8 essential amino acids, that cannnot be manufactured by the body and which therefore have to be consumed as food. These are: Isoleucine, Leucine, Lysine, Methionine, Phenylalanine, Threonine, Valine, and Tryptophan.
Vitamins - it contains a wide range of vitamins - A, B, C, E and Folic Acid. The most important ones are the antioxidant Vitamins C and E and Beta-Carotene, the precursor of Vitamin A.
It is also one of the few plants in the world that contains most of the B Vitamins. B1, B2, B4, B6, and Vitamin B12. The Vitamin B's are a very important stress regulator for the body. Like vitamin C they are water soluble so they need to be ingested daily.
Vitamins are essential for a long and healthy life. Minerals - Many bodily functions depend on minerals to work properly, and some minerals are critical to the metabolism of vitamins; these include magnesium, manganese, zinc, phosphorous copper, chromium, calcium, sodium, potassium and iron. Unfortunately the western diet is mineral deficient, mainly due to intensive farming on mineral depleted soils.
