Be particular about eating aloe vera
Eating aloe vera is popular nowadays. Not only are aloe vera dishes served in restaurants, but many beauty-loving women also plant aloe vera on their balconies for themselves to use at any time. In this regard, nutritionists said: Although aloe vera is good, you must pay attention to the method and moderation when eating it.
Aloe vera contains a variety of carbohydrates, amino acids, vitamins, minerals and other ingredients, and has high nutritional value. After being consumed by the human body, it can not only supplement trace elements, but also play the role of clearing away heat, eliminating fire, detoxifying and nourishing the skin. There are many ways to consume aloe vera, such as making aloe vera into salads, cooking aloe vera with meat, and adding aloe vera as an ingredient in soups. These methods are mostly used in restaurants, but if you want to eat them at home, you can directly remove the thorns and peel the aloe vera, wash it with water, scald it with boiling water and eat it, which is relatively simple. If you are interested, you can also squeeze aloe vera and add sugar and juice to drink together. The prepared aloe vera juice can be stored in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 days.
However, the more aloe vera you eat, the better for your health. There is a problem of moderation. Aloe vera is cold in nature and eating too much can cause vomiting and diarrhea. The general standard limit is no more than 15 grams per person per day. Pregnant women, the elderly and children should be more cautious when consuming aloe vera.
Also, not all aloe vera is suitable for consumption. If you buy aloe vera at home and grow it for consumption, be sure to explain it to the supplier and they will introduce you to edible aloe vera.
