Why you should take a shot of Aloe Vera every day

Lotte and Aloe vera plant and TikTok trend

We are all familiar with aloe vera, right? You often find it in an aftersun because it cools and restores your skin after a day in the sun. For the best results, by the way, you don't need to buy an expensive cream, or better yet: buy a fresh leaf. Check this out to see all the benefits of such a fresh specimen. Besides applying the gel and all its benefits, it is now also the TikTok trend to drink it. Bria Lemirande posted a video less than two weeks ago that has already been viewed almost five million times. She drinks a shot of aloe vera every morning and evening; her skin has never looked so glowy and she feels much less bloated after eating. In a short time, the drink that perhaps had a bit of a dull image has suddenly become a must-have: everyone wants to drink it.

All the pros and cons of drinking aloe vera
The gel you extract from the plant is packed with bioactive substances: substances found in foods that are good for your health, but are not scientifically proven to be truly necessary on a daily basis like carbohydrates and fats. But hey, that little extra can't hurt, right? Additionally, it is also full of important ingredients like vitamin B12, which is exceptional because you won't find it in any other plant. If you are deficient in this vitamin, you may feel very weak and tired, or even lightheaded. It is therefore important to have enough of this. Furthermore, it is also good for your immune system, and for a better metabolism, so if you suffer from allergies, it could also help and promote healthy skin. If you are going to drink the juice, make sure to check the packaging, because in many of these ready-made juices, the aloe vera is heated, which can have a laxative effect. It is also not wise to drink it if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. If you want to do it right, go for a fresh specimen and make a smoothie with fruit and vegetables. Just be careful not to use it for too long, as it can have a laxative effect. This trend has its pros and cons, but if TikTok has its way, we should all start.
