Aloe is very popular now. Not only do restaurants have aloe dishes, but many women who love beauty also plant aloe on their balconies for their own use at any time. In this regard, nutritionists said: although aloe is good, we should pay attention to the method and amount when eating.
Aloe contains a variety of carbohydrates, amino acids, vitamins, minerals and other ingredients, with high nutritional value. After the human body eats it, it can not only supplement trace elements, but also play the role of clearing away heat, expelling toxin and caring skin. There are many ways to eat aloe, such as making aloe into salad, cooking aloe with meat, and adding aloe as raw material to soup. These practices are widely used in restaurants, but if you eat at home, you can peel aloe directly, wash it with clear water, and then blanch it with boiling water, which is relatively simple. If you are interested, you can also juice aloe, add sugar and drink it together. The prepared aloe juice can be stored in the refrigerator 1 to 2 days.

The general standard limit is no more than 15g per person per day. Pregnant women, the elderly and children should be more cautious when eating aloe.

Aloe vera used to be thought to have a cosmetic effect, but it is actually an external herbal medicine, not an edible food. In recent years, aloe is considered to have anti-inflammatory and bactericidal effects, so it is advocated to list aloe as a healthy food with cosmetic and external use functions. The so-called aloe meal and aloe juice are very popular with consumers.
Because emodin contained in aloe skin will cause diarrhea, some people regard it as a holy product to lose weight. It should be noted that, according to an animal study done by the medical community, mice taking aloe vera for a long time, especially emodin in aloe vera skin, will cause gastric cancer. Therefore, it is recommended to eat aloe peel.
