SO DELICIOUS!
Chris referred to the texture as "touching

A for Aloe
ALOE
also known by the Egyptians as
"the plant of immortality"
you know…
that green slimy gel your mom
used to always make you put on after you
had a little too much fun in the sun?
Okay, now that we're on the same page.
Chris and I discovered this drink "Alo"
It comes in MANY different flavors and with a variety of ingredients.
We chose the Aloe, Cucumber, and Cantaloupe combination.
TOTALLY taken back by the chunks of gelly Aloe, the texture took
a little getting use to but I HAD to look up what this Aloe ingredient
was all about.
Let me tell you why you should
jump on the Aloe bandwagon.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BENEFITS OF ALOE
Vitamins & Minerals
"Over 200 active components including vitamins, minerals,
amino acids, enzymes, polysaccharide, and fatty acids. "
- Vitamins include:
Vitamin A, C, E, folic acid, choline, B1, B2, B3 (niacin), B6.
- Minerals include:
calcium, magnesium, zinc, chromium, selenium,
sodium, iron, potassium, copper, manganese.
- Also:
Aloe Vera has a range from 18-20 amino acids, with all
8 essential amino acids.
Fatty Acids
- Aloe contains three plant sterols, which are important fatty acids
HCL cholesterol (which lowers fats in the blood), campesterol, and B-sitosterol.
- All are helpful in reducing symptoms of allergies and acid indigestion.
Lower Sugar Levels
Accroding to Marie Claire, a study in Thailand found that 2tbsp of Aloe Vera juice per day causes blood sugar levels to drop in type 2 diabetics. A study later on in Turkey confirmed these results as well using pulp extract.
Digestion
- Aloe is known to soothe and cleanse the digestive tract and help improve digestion.
Aloe is also an adaptogen, which means it helps with constipation and diarrhea,
helping to regulate waste elimination in the body.
Detox
- Aloe Vera is a gelatinous plant food, just like seaweeds and chia seeds. The main benefit to consuming gelatinous plant foods in your diet is that these gels move through the intestinal tract absorbing toxins along the way and get eliminated through the colon. This will help proper elimination of waste and detoxification of your body.
Mouthwash
According to Marie Claire, a 2014 study found Aloe Vera extract to be a safe and effective alternative to mouthwashes. The natural ingredients include doses of Vitamin C which can block plaque and provide relief from bleeding and swelling.
Immune System
- Aloe vera juice contains polysaccharides which stimulate macrophages (the white blood cells of your immune system that fight against viruses).
- Aloe is also an immune enhancer because of its high level of anti-oxidants
- Aloe vera’s active ingredients prevent the growth of disease-causing microorganisms: sulphur, lupeol, salicylic acid, cinnamic acid, urea nitrogen and phenol
Lose Weight
- en you improve your digestive system and detoxify your body, you are promoting weight loss because of your bodies ability to naturally eliminate more efficiently. This is a primary way the EVERYONE detoxifies- through our bowels.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HOW TO GET YOUR
DOSE OF ALOE:
I recommend SMALL quantities daily.
Everyone's body ill react differently, so depending on age/weight
your tolerance can be anywhere from 2-8oz of Aloe Vera gel a day.
Strictly Aloe Vera extract to
fulfill your antioxidant, amino acid,
vitamin and mineral fix.
(Take NO MORE than 2-3 capsules at once)
Reduce waistline, eliminate bloating, & cleanse
your lungs, liver, and blood.
INGREDIENTS:
Flax Seed, Aloe Leaf, Raspberry Leaf, Rhubarb, Fennel
seed, Ginger root, and Peppermint
(For maintenance take ONCE a week, for intense detoxification
take for up to THREE days consistently. 2 CAPSULES after evening meal)
*** After discovering the fascinating benefits of Aloe,
I plan to being experimenting with this magical plant. POSTS SOON TO COME!! ***

GRUB ON-THE-GO
I've put my Paleo practice to the test
quite a few times already at multiple restaurants.
I'm sure most of you have either heard of
or visited these chains before : )
My experience was a lot easier than I had presumed!
When looking at the menu (BEFORE HAND: Always look at the menu before you decide/arrive to prepare yourself and have options already laid out), I knew I would not be able to order any type of "wrap" "burrito/taco" "crepe" "pancake" "BBQ" ...you get the point. My acquired plan of action became looking at the "ENTREE PLATE" sections along with side options and possible substitutes.
TAKE A LOOK!
