Aloe vera plant is considered very beneficial for health. Generally, people consume aloe vera juice in the morning. It is believed that drinking aloe vera juice not only helps in losing weight but also has a positive effect on your digestion system.

Aloe vera juice is a hydrating drink, which contains vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants. It is also helpful in strengthening the immune system. However, these benefits of aloe vera juice are available only when it is consumed properly. Generally, people make some small mistakes while drinking aloe vera juice. So, today in this article, RituPuri, Dietitian of ESIC Hospital, Central Government Hospital, is telling you what mistakes you should avoid while consuming aloe vera juice-

Overindulge

Some people, to remain healthy, start consuming aloe vera juice in large quantities. But you should avoid doing this. Although aloe vera juice is considered good for the digestion system, when it is taken in excess quantity, you may have diarrhoea problems due to its laxative effect. Not only this, but due to this you may also have to face other stomach-related problems.

Not diluting properly

Many times people do not consume aloe vera juice properly. Its taste can be bitter and when you do not dilute it with water or any other juice, it becomes very difficult to consume it. Not only has this, by doing this the possibility of negative effects on the body also increased a lot.

Drinking at the wrong time

Aloe vera juice works like a medicine for the body. But if it is taken at the wrong time, it may cause you to lose instead of benefit. Some people drink aloe vera juice just before or after meals. But by doing this you are not able to get the nutrients from food and aloe vera juice. Not only this, it can also cause digestion problems. Try to consume aloe vera juice on an empty stomach. However, you can drink aloe vera juice at least 30 minutes before having a meal.

Ignoring your medical condition

Aloe vera juice is considered very good for health, but not everyone benefits from it. Especially, if you have any health issues and are already taking medicine for it, then you may face problems by drinking aloe vera juice. For example, if you are taking diabetes medicine or any kind of laxative medicine, then aloe vera juice can have negative effects. Therefore, in any such condition, it is very important to first consult a doctor.
