Among all the health benefits of aloe vera juice, perhaps none are more promising than the benefits of aloe vera juice on the cardiovascular system.
Results of a study published in the Journal of Nutritional Science and Vitamin ology showed that aloe administration lowered liver production of cholesterol by about 30 percent.
Additional research has shown that consuming aloe vera decreases LDL “bad” cholesterol levels and reduces triglyceride levels while increasing blood HDL, or “good” cholesterol.[3,4] This is very significant, as many natural remedies for cholesterol control work effectively at lowering LDL levels but do not always increase HDL levels. Therefore, using aloe vera juice to balance your total cholesterol ratio is uniquely beneficial.
Aloe Vera and High Blood Pressure
It is hypothesized that aloe vera juice is one of the key home remedies for high blood pressure and improve overall heart health in a number of ways: Because aloe vera juice contains a high amount of vitamin C, it enhances circulation and strengthens veins and arteries.
Other nutrients in aloe vera juice help to dilate the capillaries and boost blood oxygenation, thereby offering therapeutic benefits on the cardiovascular system.
In one study of more than 5,000 patients over five years, successful results were reported after administering aloe vera combined with psyllium fiber to participants. Aside from reductions in total cholesterol, triglycerides, and blood sugar levels, the following results were noted:
There was a decrease in frequency of angina attacks during the study period and patients had their drug dosages gradually reduced over time.
By the end of the study, 85 percent of the patients had their heart rhythm return to normal on an ECG.
A total of 2,151 of the patients were originally diagnosed with hypertension (high blood pressure); all of the patients taking beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, or diurectic medications to treat their hypertension and angina had to have their medication reduced to at least half their prescribed dosages.[4]
The Bottom Line
Here’s a summary of the six aloe vera benefits for your heart, based on the cited research reports:
1. Lowers LDL cholesterol
2. Increases HDL cholesterol
3. Reduces triglycerides
4. Lowers blood pressure
5. Stabilizes heart rhythm
6. Reduces occurrence of chest pain (angina) attacks
