CURES CONSTIPATION: Aloe shots

When mild dehydration, long road trips or changes in your daily routine cause that “backed up” feeling, sipping 2 Tbs. of aloe vera juice at bedtime could provide relief by morning. That’s the word from University of Sydney scientists, who say aloe contains a gentle, natural laxative (anthraquinone) that improves regularity for 80% of women studied, making it more effective than OTC meds. Tip: Mix aloe juice into a fruit smoothie or any chilled juice to mask its bitterness.
