The video discusses the benefits and preparation of aloe vera juice. Aloe vera has been shown to have medicinal properties, including reducing blood sugar levels in people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes, and having an anti-cancer effect. However, it's not suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding women due to the presence of a substance called aloin, which can stimulate the muscles of the large intestine.
To prepare aloe vera juice, the video recommends removing the outer skin and soaking the gel in water for four hours to remove the aloin. The gel can then be blended with fruit or coconut water to make a juice. Two recipes are provided: one with mango and one with coconut water. The video also mentions that aloe vera juice can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
