According to the book, 'Healing Foods' by DK Publishing House, "Aloe vera has a cooling, anti-inflammatory effect on the gut; it helps relieve constipation and can help clear intestinal parasites. Turmeric has a similarly soothing effect on the gut, relieving pain and tension, and also helps improve circulation. Fresh ginger tones and stimulates the digestive tract, but it can raise blood pressure; if you suffer from high blood pressure, omit the ginger."

Foods For Digestion: Here's How You Can Make Apple And Aloe Vera Juice At Home:

Ingredients Required:

Apple - 1
Aloe Vera - 1 large leaf
Turmeric Root - 1 cm
Ginger Root - 1 cm

How To Make:

To begin with, peel the ginger and turmeric root and wash them thoroughly. Chop them into two halves. Cut the apple into two halves as well.
Now with the help of a sharp knife, discard the yellow part from the aloe vera leaf and scrape off the gel after slicing the leaf lengthwise.
Add all the ingredients in a juice and blend well. Once a juice-like consistency is attained, pour it in a glass and drink.

Note: If you feel that the juice has become too thick, you may dilute it by adding a little bit of water in the juicer while blending.

So go ahead and make this juice a part of your diet to steer clear of digestive issues. However, we recommend you to consult an expert nutritionist before you make any major alternations in your diet.
