Elevate Summer Entertaining with Aloe Vera Juice

Elevate Summer Entertaining with Aloe Vera Juice

Aloe vera gel is a well-known summer staple as its moisturizing, soothing and cooling properties are fantastic at treating skin burns and irritations. Did you know keeping liquid aloe on hand all year round can also help soothe the digestive tract? Just as the gel soothes our skin, the liquid has a comparable action on our digestive tract.

Often referred to as our gut, our digestive tract is one of our first lines of defense when it comes to foreign invaders like viruses. If our digestive tract isn’t functioning optimally, we can be more susceptible to illness. Supporting our gut health thus helps prime our immune response.

With social gatherings now widely embraced, many people welcome the opportunity to engage in various forms of entertainment and hospitality. Let’s remember to not only relish these gatherings but also to prioritize our physical well-being and ensure we’re nourishing ourselves and our guests.

Aloe vera is a digestive tonic high in vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and seven essential amino acids. Because it’s rich in antioxidants, aloe vera is an effective anti-inflammatory for the entire digestive tract. Health First Aloe Vera Juice contains only the inner fillet of the aloe plant and acts by coating an inflamed and irritated gut to provide fast relief.

Take the opportunity to support gut and immune health by incorporating health-promoting aloe into your smoothies and favourite beverage recipes, such as the delightful Health First Pom-Aloe Punch below. Not only will your guests thank you for such delightful and refreshing elixirs, but their digestive systems will as well!
