What are the dangers of eating aloe vera during pregnancy?

Pregnant women should not eat messy foods often to avoid affecting the fetus in the womb. Even plant foods such as aloe vera should be eaten as little as possible, otherwise it will have a counterproductive effect. In addition, patients with weak constitutions will also suffer from some adverse reactions if they consume excessively. In severe cases, it can even induce acute nephritis. Therefore, aloe vera must be consumed with caution.

Aloe vera is not suitable for everyone. People with different physiques will experience different effects when eating aloe vera. Pregnant women and infants should not eat it. If people with weak constitutions and children consume excessive amounts, they are prone to allergic reactions, such as redness, swelling, and rough skin. In mild cases, they may experience nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, while in severe cases, it may cause acute nephritis. The edible safety of aloe vera has attracted widespread attention from scholars and managers. One of the active ingredients of aloe vera is aloin, which is the representative component of aloesin and exists in the yellow mucus near the inner surface of the leaf bark. The products of aloin oxidation have the risk of causing cancer and kidney damage. [1]

Aloe vera contains 75 elements, which are almost completely consistent with the substances required by human cells. It has obvious health value and is honored as a "magic plant" and "family medicine box".

Anti-aging

The mucin (protein) in aloe vera is based on polysaccharides such as arboran A Baloe mannanaloetin. Mucus is an important ingredient in preventing cell aging and treating chronic allergies. Mucin exists in the muscles and gastrointestinal mucosa of the human body, making the tissues elastic. If there is insufficient mucin, the muscles and mucosa will lose their elasticity and become stiff and aged. If the cells that make up the human body lack mucin, the cells will gradually weaken and lose the ability to defend against bacteria and viruses. In addition, mucin has the effect of strengthening the body and sperm.

Promotes healing

Aloe vera can promote the healing of artificial wounds on rat backs, and can shorten the healing time for artificial conjunctival edema in rabbits. Aloe vera juice preparations have a protective effect on skin trauma, burns and local X-ray exposure.

Strengthens the heart and promotes blood circulation

Calcium isocitrate in aloe vera has the effects of strengthening the heart, promoting blood circulation, softening hardened arteries, lowering cholesterol levels, and dilating capillaries, thereby unblocking blood circulation, reducing cholesterol levels, alleviating the burden on the heart, maintaining normal blood pressure, and removing "toxins" from the blood.

Immunity and Regeneration

Aloe vera, trauma hormone and polyglycopeptide mannoside (Ke-2) have the effects of resisting viral infection and promoting wound healing and recovery. They have the functions of anti-inflammatory and bactericidal, absorbing heat and reducing swelling, softening the skin, and maintaining cell vitality. The combination of gelatin and callus acid also has wound healing activity.
