5 REASONS YOU NEED AN ALOE PLANT

 Aloe succulent 
leaves store a gel-like 
juice with powerful 
protective and healing 
properties which have 
been recognized for 
many centuries. The 
only thing you need 
to do is break off a 
leaf, scrap out the gel 
and the aloe will do its 
magic all on its own.

Aloe is anti-
inflammatory and has 
a cooling effect so it 
works wonders on bug 
bites. You may want 
to break off a leaf and 
place it in you fridge 
for several minutes. 
The extra cold will enhance its cooling effect and 
help to reduce the itch.

 My favorite use of aloe is for burns. If you have 
never burned your hand cooking or suffered a sun 
burn you are lucky. Aloe not only soothes a burn 
but it also heals and moisturizes the skin. The only 
thing you need to do is open up a leaf and rub the 
inside over your skin to get instant relief. 

 Aloe is great as a skin moisturizer as it hydrates 
and provides nutrients for the skin. It is full of 
vitamins C, E, and beta carotene which are all 
known to help prevent premature aging. 

 Aloe is not only anti-inflammatory but it is also 
anti-microbial. These two properties make aloe a 
great choice to treat a wide range of skin problems 
such as eczema, rashes, psoriasis, and acne. It 
reduces inflammation, cools and moisturizes the 
skin all while promoting cell renewal 

 Lastly is you have stretch marks either from 
weight gain or from pregnancy, applying aloe gel 
on a daily basis helps to reduce their visibility. 
Stretch marks are the result of minor tears that 
appear in the top layer of our skin. Aloe can help 
to heal those tears when applied early to stretch 
marks. 

 Aloe is so easy to grow… everyone should have a 
plant somewhere in their yard. It can even grow in 
a planter on a balcony.

AGING

MONROVIA – SET for LIFE, in partnership with City of Hope, City of Duarte, City of Monrovia 
and Second Baptist Church, is hosting its 10th Annual Healthy Living for LIFE Expo 50+, 
Saturday, September 13 at the Fannie Ms. Goodwin Education Center on the campus of Second 
Baptist Church, 925 South Shamrock Avenue, Monrovia.

By providing health education and opportunities for prevention screenings, SET for LIFE hopes 
to make an impact in the health disparities among ethnic minorities in the local community. 
The Commission on Social Determinants of Health, World Health Organization 2008, describes 
health disparities as, “Health inequalities that are considered unnecessary, avoidable and unfair/
unjust.”

This annual event from 10:00am – 2:00pm, is free and is geared to ethnic minorities 50 and older; 
people with diabetes and their caregivers; as well as those seeking health screenings. Everyone 
is welcomed. This year’s theme is “Dispelling Myths about Healthy Aging.” Plenty of parking is 
available at the wheelchair-accessible facility. A free healthy lunch is provided while supplies last.
