Aloe Vera - Nature's Own Sports Drink!


Did you know Aloe Vera functions as nature's own "sports drink" for electrolyte balance, making common sports drinks obsolete?  Neither did I until I read this article that was posted today on Melissa's Produce blog.  The article is fascinating!  Digging a bit further, Mark Adams explains in greater detail the health benefits while sharing an aloe vera smoothie.

I don't normally copy an article but thought this was worth sharing, especially since this is all new news to me.

Health Benefits of Aloe Vera
When I say aloe vera is the most impressive medicinal herb invented by nature, I don't make that statement lightly.

(Garlic would be a close second.) There is nothing on this planet that offers the amazing variety of healing benefits granted by aloe vera.
