Experts say that Aloe Vera has more than a hundred nutritional compounds, which work in synergy. To begin with, let us highlight the top ten chemicals present: amino acids, anthraquinones, enzymes, minerals, lignins, monosaccharide, polysaccharides, salicylic acid, saponins, sterols and vitamins.
The top three in the list has the most direct effect on weight loss activities.
First, amino acids are the building blocks of protein, that is very necessary for our nervous system to function well. Specifically, Aloe Vera has leucine, which regulate cell growth and even instructs our brain to decrease food intake especially in situations that are not stimulating even though the food is delectable. Another amino acid would be glutamic acid, which is again responsible for metabolic processes particularly transamination or the transfer of amino acids.
Furthermore, there are other protein builders present in Aloe Vera: alanine, arginine, cysteine, asparagines, glycine, histidine, proline, serine, tyrosine and aspartic acid. All of which contribute in reducing body mass either as fat burner, metabolism activator, transportation of essential nutrients, psycho-biological agent (like leucine), etc.
Second, the phenolic compounds known as anthraquinones help in achieving good digestion and excretion of wastes. This effect is much evident if one consumes Aloe Vera in great proportions; its purgative effect however, helps flush out toxins and excess fats within our body. Moreover, it has a microbial and anti-parasitic effect which kills hookworms, ascaris and other pests inside our body. The most visible anthraquinones in Aloe Vera are aloin and emodin. These facilitate removal of pus, blood from the wounds and into the anus.
Third are enzymes. These compounds are responsible for breaking down consumed foods in order for our food to absorb the nutrients within it turning them into fuel or store them for emergency cases.
