I present this soup with a lot vegetables, the okro shouldn’t be cooked for long time. It shouldn’t be cooked at most ten minutes,just like the vegetable.

Knowing that food can be medicinal at the same time poison,so I researched on the health benefits of okro.went online and found a great piece which we would be sharing with you . Natural Society an online think thank site make us to know that :

While the “amount of nutrition” from okra varies based on how it’s consumed (pods, grams, etc), some of the key substances in the vegetable remain the same. Here are some prominent vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients found in okra that deserve some spotlight. Each figure is based on 1 cup (100g) of okra.

As mentioned, Okra is rich in numerous vitamins, minerals, and nutrients that are responsible for the health benefits the plant has to offer. Here are some of okra’s health benefits:

Okra Promotes a Healthy Pregnancy – An extremely important B vitamin for producing and maintaining new cells, folate is an essential compound for optimal pregnancy. The vitamin helps prevent birth defects like spina bifida and helps the baby to grow sufficiently. Vitamin C is also essential for fetal development. Okra is rich in both folate and vitamin C.Helps Prevent Diabetes – Thanks to fiber and other nutrients, okra proves beneficial in normalising blood sugar in the body, helping with diabetes.Helps with Kidney Disease – One studypublished in the October 2005 Jilin Medical Journal found that regular consumption of okra can help prevent kidney disease. In the study, “those who ate okra daily reduced clinical signs of kidney damage more than those that simply ate a diabetic diet.” This also ties in with diabetes, as nearly 50% of kidney disease cases are caused by diabetes.Supports Colon Health
