Now Available in Stores: Fresh Aloe Vera
For over 6,000 years, aloe vera has been known for its health and beauty abilities as well as its healing properties. There are hundreds of species of the aloe plant but the most commonly known and used is the Aloe Barbadensis plant, aka aloe vera. There are many aspects of aloe vera- the outside fleshy leaves with serrated edges, the thin layer of aloe latex right beneath the skin, and the inside gooey gel and liquid.
The plant as a whole contains many vitamins and minerals that are helpful to us humans. It contains antioxidant vitamins (such as vitamins A, C, E, B12, and folic acid), enzymes, minerals (such as calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, and zinc), laxatives, and some hormones that help with its healing and anti-inflammatory properties.
There are many benefits from aloe vera. Some are listed in the picture below but there are even more than that!
When most people hear “aloe vera gel,” sunburns are the first thing that comes to mind. However, there are more uses than just that! Aloe vera can also be ingested as capsules and juice which are used as dietary supplements to help with digestion and boost immunity. People who are in love with the properties of aloe vera have made their own DIY videos for various reasons. Here is a link to a YouTube video where one person makes their own hair, scalp, skin moisturizer from the fresh aloe vera plant: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pu6aP_UIuxE
And lucky for us, Basil Bandwagon Natural Market not only has aloe vera supplements on our wellness shelves, but we now carry fresh aloe vera plants in our produce areas- but only for a limited time! Come in quick before it’s all gone!

It’s Non-GMO Month: Part 2
With the Keto diet and Non-GMO Month being noticed around the same time, why not feature them together!
So what exactly is the Keto diet?
The Keto diet is a low-carb, high-fat diet that offers numerous health benefits. With the drastic reduction is carbs, you put your body into a metabolic state called ketosis. When your body is in ketosis, your body becomes extremely efficient at using fat for energy. Some health benefits from the keto diet are lower blood sugar and insulin levels, as well as switching the body’s metabolism from carbs to fat. Another health benefit that strikes a lot of consumers’ attention is losing body weight and lowering the risk factors for diseases.
What foods should I avoid on the Keto diet?
Foods that are high in carbs should be very limited or even eliminated. The list of foods that should be avoided are: sugary foods, grains or starches, fruit, beans or legumes, root vegetables and tubers, low-fat or diet products, certain condiments or sauces, unhealthy fats, alcohol, & sugar-free diet foods.
What foods should I eat on the Keto diet?
Your plate should be based with the majority of these foods: meat, fatty fish, eggs, butter and cream, cheese, nuts and seeds, healthy oils, avocados, low-carb veggies, & condiments and spices.
Are there any side effects from being on the Keto diet?
Even though the keto diet is safe, there are some initial side effects that your body goes through as you adapt to your new diet. Each individual body is different and unique- so you should be more aware of how you feel and balance accordingly.
At Basil Bandwagon, we carry numerous Keto diet friendly products that are also Non-GMO Project verified! Some of our products are featured below!
