Aloe Vera Gel and My Grandpa’s Secrets for Health and Anti-Aging

When I was a little girl, I watched my Grandfather chug down a big bottle of pure organic Aloe Vera Gel every week. He would add it to his morning juice or drink a swig of it straight out of the bottle throughout the day. He swore many times to me that Aloe was a truly healing, miracle plant with incredible health and even curative, preventative, and Anti-Aging properties. My Grandpa lived to be 96 by the way and was very active and healthy right up until the end of his life.

To be honest, other factors (many of which I will be sharing here on The Detox Zone) also contributed to his amazing health and longevity. He and my Grandmother both ate fresh fruits and vegetables from their very own garden on a daily basis and rarely ate processed food. They stayed active and worked hard and lived a very satisfying life together for nearly 75 years. Many people have marveled at my Grandpa’s quality of life and his health and longevity.

Recently, I personally decided to start juicing more often (I’m shooting for 3-5 times per week about 2 glasses a day to start) and as I was walking around my local Whole Foods Market, smelling and squeezing veggies and getting ready for my juicing adventure, I stumbled across a bottle of my Grandpa’s swear by health secret. A bottle of pure, organic, aloe vera. I started adding a swig of it to each glass of my juice during the day. It’s been about a week and I am feeling great! It’s only been a week so I’ll keep you updated and maybe post some of my juicing recipes here on The Detox Zone in the near future.

I’m grateful for those days with Grandpa and that he shared his secrets for health and anti-aging with me all those years ago. I’m also glad that I was reminded about Aloe Vera, that miracle plant that many cultures throughout history have touted as a secret for health, longevity, disease prevention, and anti-aging. There is so much more I could say about Aloe Vera but I’ll save it for another day. Stay tuned here on the Detox Zone for more Detox, Anti-Aging, and Health Secrets.
