10 Benefits of Aloe Vera
Benefit #6: Lowers Blood Sugar Levels
Diabetes is one of the most common chronic diseases. Its prevalence in the United States is daunting and its prevalence is even growing in underdeveloped countries as well. In the past, aloe vera has been used as a traditional natural remedy for diabetes; however, very little research was done to see if it had a significant effect. Recently, researchers have begun to study the plant and its effect on insulin sensitivity.
Several animal and human studies in Type 2 diabetics have found results in consuming aloe vera extract. These results are premature for now; however, researchers believe further inquiry on the topic will lead to promising results. In addition, talking to your doctor about using aloe vera is also recommended as some studies have linked overconsumption of aloe vera to liver damage.
