How Okra Can Help Against Diabetes?

What we eat is how healthy we are.

It's better to better to eat vegetable.

But do you like okra?

Okra is one of the not so popular vegetable in the Philippines. Not popular because kids and some adults just don’t like it because of its slippery juice or extract and the taste just so ordinary.  Okay, maybe this is one of many reasons why okra or lady finger vegetable or English term—is  seldom served in the table. 

However there are some dishes that okra is must, for instance, pinakbet (vegetable mixes). Pinakbet will not be complete without this elongated green veggie.   

Another popular dish is the grilled okra which is easy to do because, well, it’s grilling. One famous dish is the Okra Salad.

Now let’s talk how okra can help you with your diabetes.

Hmm, can it really help to cure the diabetes?  Well, not everybody know this fact but based from an article I read in one magazine, okra or the lady finger can be a good medicine against this one of the most feared disease in the world.

If so, what should we do with okra?  Should we eat the vegetable not cook?  Or could be it the boiled roots or leaves that can heal the disease.  The answer is not.  But yes, it’s the vegetable fruit that can become the medicine.

How? To lower the blood sugar in our body, you need to harvest the fresh okra fruit.  Sliced the fruit and soak it overnight in a glass of water.  In the next morning, drink the water where the lady finger was soaked.  Do this every morning and with the prayer, this maybe the answer of your diabetes.
