Abstract

Increasing the community’s welfare affects lifestyle changes, especially patterns of food consumption in a negative direction on the increase of degenerative diseases. The community then realized that the magnitude of the relationship between food and the risk of disease. Fact, the primary function of food is not just to provide a feeling of fullness, but more than that. Foods that have varied nutritional content will have an impact on health maintenance. Digestive organs that function correctly cause the body’s metabolism to work correctly so that ultimately the primary purpose of food is to maintain survival for a healthier life that is better and free from disease. The concept of food as ‘medicine’ is what is currently known as a functional food. Aloe Vera is a plant with a variety of nutritional content that can maintain health and prevent disease. Science learning is very closely related to daily life, so integrating Aloe vera content as functional food into science material is certainly very beneficial for students. The integration can be carried out on the material of the Human Digestive System. The research result as an alternative teaching material to realize and train students’ thinking skills about understanding the importance of consuming functional food to maintain health and prevent diseases, especially those related to the digestive canal as immunity to the body.
