Aloe contains dozens of nutrients, such as vitamins B 1, B6, B 12 and 8 essential amino acids and minerals. Sticking to eating aloe vera has the effects of clearing away heat, relaxing bowels, promoting granulation, treating injuries, resisting bacteria and diminishing inflammation. Not only that, eating aloe often has the effect of preventing cancer. In 1970s, the authoritative "C, A" (Chemical Abstracts) published an abstract, which shocked the whole world. Aloin A (also known as alomycin), a substance with strong anticancer activity, was first discovered from Aloe X, which has inhibitory activity on mouse sarcoma-180 and Ehrlich ascites carcinoma. The Japanese immediately conducted groundbreaking research. They extracted with methanol to obtain a powdery substance with excellent anticancer activity, and the effective dose was 1- 100 mg/kg. 1986 at the beginning, at the 39th annual meeting of Japanese medicine, Dr. Suzuki published more exact experimental data: the effective rate of aloin A in treating cancer was 50%-67%. What is particularly surprising is that it can also cure visceral injury caused by X-ray fluoroscopy. It can also induce NK cells to kill cancer cells in vivo, which is a rare plant "immune activator". Americans simply call aloin "Aloe antigen".
Nowadays, the fashion of eating aloe has risen. Experts say aloe can be eaten not only in food, but also in vegetables. Therefore, eating fresh aloe is a good way for family natural health care. The edible method is as follows:
1, chew fresh mesophyll raw: cut fresh aloe leaves into 3-4cm sections, wash and peel them before chewing. Daily 15g, divided into 2-3 times.
2, powder washing: that is, dry the leaves, grind them into powder, and wrap them in glutinous rice paper. One teaspoon a day, taken 2-3 times;
3, decoction: 40g aloe vera plus 200ml of water, boil with low fire, then simmer for 60 minutes (do not use an iron pot), filter. Pour half a cup of aloe juice every day and drink it 2-3 times.
4. Soaking wine: You can refer to other fruit soaking methods. Generally, the ratio with 50% liquor is 1: 1.2, which can be drunk after 3-4 weeks of storage.
In addition, there are edible methods such as soaking aloe in honey and making tea with fresh leaves.
The above methods can prevent any swelling and cancer if you insist on eating them. Decocting is the best application, because the antidiarrheal component emodin contained in aloe can be destroyed by heating, so there will be no side effects of diarrhea.
It should be pointed out that aloe vera is good, but it must be carefully eaten. Different people should analyze and apply it according to their own sunshine conditions. Generally speaking, adults should take 1.5g fresh leaves every day, and children and the elderly should reduce it by 20%-50%. If you are a constipation patient, you can eat more to help it play its role; If your spleen and stomach are deficient in cold, eat as little as possible. Special reminder is that pregnant women and menstruating women are absolutely forbidden to eat aloe, because aloe can dilate peripheral capillaries and promote uterine movement, which will cause congestion in the inner wall of uterus, leading to massive bleeding or abortion.
