Aloe Vera Helps Reduce Arteriosclerosis

As a person ages, hardening of arteries is among the major and often inevitable consequences. Luckily, these days there are various things, which help to prevent and sometimes cure the hardening of arteries or arteriosclerosis.

How can it (Aloe Vera) Help?

Aloe, Aloeride is good for the circulatory system, as Aloe reduces amount of triglycerides and LDL [The “bad cholesterol”] and increases amount of HDL [The “good cholesterol”].

Many scientific studies have shown that when someone’s diet is supplemented with Aloe, signs and symptoms of coronary artery disease went away. The people involved in the studies never experienced heart problems again.           

These studies also noted that the patients could afford to stop taking pills, which they used to take before the study for blood pressure, chest pain as well as blood sugar control.

A 1985 study conducted prior to the discovery of the effectiveness of Aloe Vera and Aloeride, involved 5,000 people with Angina Pectoris [chest pain resulting from physical exertion] and acknowledged coronary artery disease, which shows a deficit of blood circulation to the muscles of the heart, who started taking Aloe Vera regularly.

What resulted was that the signs of angina pectoris ceased and no lethal heart attacks developed. Also prescription drugs weren’t needed anymore to control symptoms, although they didn’t cure them.

Heart Attack

Arteriosclerosis is a complicated disease and microscopic damage to both large and small arteries alike is involved. Hardened plaque lines the arteries. A plaque build-up occurs in the small arteries and the passageway through the arteries becomes smaller and blood circulation is made difficult.

This deprives the tissues and organs which need the oxygen and the blood, resulting in damage to tissue and organs because of the lack of blood and oxygen. Build up toxic waste like carbon dioxide occurs as these aren’t taken away by the arteries normally.

As there is blockage in the coronary arteries, the free flow of blood stops.When there is physical exertion, the heart muscle requires more oxygen. When a heart muscle requires a larger amount of oxygen and blood isn’t delivered, that heart muscle dies. When this happens, it is known as a heart attack. This may even result in instant death of the person.

Blood clotting

By lowering the stickiness of the platelet, Aloe Vera eases the coronary syndrome just as well as Aspirin and Plavex.

The normal function of the platelet is to stop bleeding in the case of injury of blood vessels [Blood clotting].

When the platelets are more sticky than normal, they will create a clot in those blood vessels which have lots of plaque lining their walls, often resulting in permanent shut off of the flow of blood through that blood vessel or artery.

This clotting can damage the brain tissue by leading to a stroke in people with Arteriosclerosis or diabetes. Diabetes, if present, will accelerate small vessel disease as well as the resultant damage to various tissues and organs.

Aloe Vera possesses the power to reduce the stickiness of platelets and thus lower the inflammation resulting from microvascular injury.

Aloeride thus reduces the accumulation of plaque and has the power to help prevent Arteriosclerosis and sometimes even reverse it.
