Eye on Beauty - Aloe vera & your inner health

WELL THE HOLIDAYS ARE HERE AND THE NEW YEAR IS JUST A FEW DAYS AWAY. AND FOR MANY OF US THAT MEANS MAKING NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS. AMONG THE MOST POPULAR ARE: STOP OVERSPENDING. THEY MUST HAVE BEEN TALKING TO MY HUSBAND ABOUT THAT ONE. GET BETTER ORGANIZED. AND OR COURSE GET HEALTHIER. NOW, THAT LAST ONE COVERS SO MUCH GROUND AND THIS MORNING WE ARE DISCUSSING A PLANT THAT CAN HELP GET YOU THERE. THAT PLANT IS ALOE VERA. JOINING US WITH DETAILS ON THIS INCREDIBLE PLANT ARE ALLISON KUSENBERGER AND ERV TERWILLIGER FROM THE ALOE SOURCE. WELCOME BACK TO THE SHOW. THANK YOU FOR HAVING US. ALWAYS SO HAPPY TO HAVE YOU GUYS HERE. BECAUSE I LEARN SUCH GREAT INFORMATION AND HERE'S THE THING. YOU KNOW, THIS SHOW IS BASED HERE IN SOUTH FLORIDA. ALOE VERA GROWS WILD HERE AND OF COURSE YOU CAN BUY IN STORES ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY. BUT IT IS, I HAVE TO TELL YOU, ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE PLANTS. WELL, A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW ALOE VERA FOR IT'S SOOTHING AND HEALING BENEFITS BUT THEY DON'T KNOW THAT YOU CAN ACTUALLY INJEST ALOE VERA. AND DRINKING ALOE VERA JUICE DOES THINGS LIKE BOOST YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM, AID IN DIGESTION, REDUCES INFLAMMATION. WHICH IS GREAT FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE ARTHRITIS. AND IT CAN ALSO HELP WITH ULCERS AND ACID REFLUX. AND ONE OTHER THING ABOUT ALOE VERA IS IT CONTAINS LIGNANTS. AND LIGNANTS ACTUALLY BIND WITH OTHER VITAMINS AND MINERALS. SO, IF YOU TAKE YOUR DAILY VITAMINS WITH ALOE VERA JUICE IT ACTUALLY WILL INCREASE THE ABSORPTION OF THEM. THAT'S INTERESTING. I DIDN'T KNOW THAT. BUT I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT ALOE VERA ITSELF IS RICH IN VITAMINS AND MINERALS. IT'S REALLY AN UNDERSTATEMENT. THE PLANT IS PACKED FULL OF VITAMIN C, E, B1, B2, B3, B6, B12 JUST TO NAME A FEW. IT'S RICH IN ENZYMES, MINERALS. IT'S PRETTY IMPRESSIVE. BUT WHEN YOU'RE GOING TO DRINK ALOE VERA IT'S ABOUT WHAT'S IN THE PLANT AND IT'S ABOUT WHAT WE TAKE OUT OF THE PLANT. OK. A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T KNOW THAT ALOE CONTAINS SOMETHING CALLED ALOIN. ALOIN IS A TOXIN IN THE PLANT TO HELP IT DEFEND ITSELF IN NATURE. AT THE ALOE SOURCE WE MAKE SURE THAT ALL THE ALOE WE USE FOR DRINKING HAS BEEN FILTERED TO REMOVE 100% OF THE STUFF YOU DON'T WANT. THE ALOIN. AND KEEP AS MANY OF THE NUTRIENTS IN AS POSSIBLE. OK, SO YOU TOLD ME SOMETHING THAT I DIDN'T KNOW. SO, IF I'M GOING TO THE STORE AND I WANT TO BUY ALOE VERA. HOW DO I KNOW I'M BUYING ALOE VERA THAT'S BEEN PROPERLY PROCESSED TO REMOVE ALL THE POTENTIAL TOXINS? GO BACK TO WHAT MOM TAUGHT YOU. READ THE PACKAGING. READ THOSE PACKAGES. IT'S TRUE. I'TS A GREAT POINT. READ IT. IT WILL TELL YOU. IF THEY FILTERED THE ALOIN OUT, THEY WILL BRAG ABOUT IT. IT WILL BE IN BIG LETTERS. IF IT'S NOT ON THERE, YOU DON'T KNOW AND I'D PROBABLY STEER TOWARD A PRODUCT THAT SPECIFICALLY SAYS IT'S BEEN FILTERED. ALRIGHT, SO TELL ME MORE ABOUT YOURS. LET'S TALK WATER. WE TALK ABOUT HAVING ORGANIC ALOE. HOW DO WE WATER THE PLANT? WELL, WE USE OUR TEJON SPRING WATER. WE DON'T USE THE RIVER'S. A LOT OF FARMS USE RIVER WATER, WHICH UNFORTUNATELY SOMETIMES CONTAINS POLLUTANTS OR HEAVY METALS. WE DON'T WANT THAT STUFF IN OUR ALOE. AND DEFINITELY DON'T WANT IT IN OUR BODIES. SO, WE MAKE SURE WE FILTER IT OUT. THEN ONCE WE ARE SURE WE HAVE THE PUREST, CLEANEST ALOE WE DON'T OVERHEAT IT. WE DON'T OVER-PROCESS IT BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO KILL OFF ALL THOSE ACTIVES THAT GIVE ALL THE BENEFITS THAT ALLISON TOLD US ABOUT. OK. NOW HERE'S THE THING. AND I TOLD YOU. AND IT IS THE TRUTH. I DO USE ALOE VERA. I LOVE ALOE VERA. BUT I'M LOOKING AT THIS BIG OLD BOTTLE. AND THIS FIRST THING THAT CAME TO MIND WAS, OK DO I HAVE TO DRINK THIS WHOLE THING TO GET THE BENEFITS? HOW MUCH OF THIS DO I NEED TO DRINK GUYS? YOU REALLY ONLY NEED TO DRINK 4-8 OZ PER DAY. OK, THAT'S NOT BAD. AND IT COMES IN STRAWBERRY KIWI SO IT TASTES GREAT. AND I PERSONALLY LIKE TO DRINK IT BY ITSELF. BUT YOU CAN ALSO MIX IT IN WITH OTHER THINGS OR PUT IT IN YOUR SMOOTHIE FOR EXTRA NUTRITION. I LOVE THE SMOOTHIE. THAT'S A GREAT IDEA. OK, BUT HERE'S THE THING. I HAVE SEEN SO MANY JUICES, SO MANY GELS ON THE MARKET. THAT SOMETIMES FOR ME, IT GETS CONFUSING. AND YOU EDUCATED ME A LITTLE BIT IN TERMS OF WHAT TO LOOK FOR. BUT WHAT ELSE SHOULD WE BE LOOKING FOR IN TERMS OF CHOOSING THE RIGHT ALOE VERA. SO, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT MAKING SURE WE HAVE ORGANIC ALOE. WE'VE TALKED ABOUT MAKING SURE IT'S PROCESSED CORRECTLY. THE THIRD AND FINAL ONE IS CONCENTRATION. YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE AT LEAST 20% CONCENTRATED ALOE VERA JUICE IN THE PRODUCT TO REALLY GET ALL THE BENEFITS THAT YOU'RE SEEKING. SO, MANY SURPRISING BENEFITS FROM ALOE VERA. AND I KNOW THAT YOU'VE GOT PRODUCTS NOT JUST THAT YOU CAN DRINK BUT THAT LITERALLY FROM HEAD TO TOE .. RIGHT. CAN HELP YOU. TELL ME ABOUT THAT. YES, WELL AT THE ALOESOURCE.COM WE HAVE A VARIETY OF PRODUCTS FOR YOUR FACE, YOUR BODY, AND INNER HEALTH. FOR WHATEVER YOU NEED. BECAUSE WE REALLY WANTED TO CREATE A HOLISTIC LINE OF PRODUCTS FOR YOUR INNNER HEALTH AND OUTER BEAUTY. SO, WHETHER YOU'RE TRYING TO RECOVER FROM TOO MANY HOLIDAY PARTIES. YOU JUST WANT TO GET HEALTHY FOR THE NEW YEAR. WE HAVE SOMETHING FOR EVERYTHING. ALRIGHT, SO ONE OF THOSE NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS FOLKS SHOULD BE DRINK MORE ALOE VERA! THERE YOU GO! EXACTLY. WHENEVER YOU GUYS COME I LEARN SO MUCH. YOU MIND IF I TAKE THIS HOME? NO, PLEASE. PLEASE DO! I'M GOING TO OPEN THIS UP AND DRINK IT NOW. I ENJOY HAVING YOU GUYS. THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU!
