You already know the many benefits of aloe vera. It is one of the most suitable plants to treat irritable bowel thanks to its  anti-inflammatory properties.

On the other hand, aloe, when decomposed, does not emit gas like other foods. This allows it to exert a moisturizing and healing action for the walls of the intestine, which in turn, allows other compounds to be better synthesized.

Combining it with kiwi juice, you will get a smoothie full of vitamins and very smooth  and  digestive. It is easy to prepare: you just have to heat a glass of water and dilute the tablespoon of aloe vera in it.

Once dissolved, add the kiwi smoothie. You can include a tablespoon of honey, which will make it much more pleasant. As a final tip, keep one fact in mind: take these shakes warm, neither cold nor hot. You will digest it better.
