The
vegetable okra (okro) is a popular one and it is included in many diets. Being
a vegetable, it is obvious that okro is healthy and should be included in your
menu. Here are a few specific health benefits of okro:

allowing the organ to work at a higher rate of efficiency and reduce the risk
of colon cancer.

presence of Eugenol in Okra helps fight against diabetes. The fibre also helps
stabilize blood sugar level by delaying sugar absorption from the intestines.
03)
Prevents Constipation: – Okra
is one of the best vegetable sources of dietary fibre essential for the
digestive system. Dietary fibres in okra help prevent and relieve constipation.
The soluble fibre in okra absorbs water and adds bulk to the stool thus
preventing constipation.
04)
Prevents Anaemia: – The
iron content of okra forms haemoglobin in the blood and prevents anaemia.
Vitamin K helps in blood coagulation.
05)
Aids Weight Loss: – The
dietary fibres contained in this vegetable helps people who are on weight loss
programs. Okro has a very low caloric value so it is a great addition when
losing weight.

and thus reduces the risk of heart disease. Eating okra is an effective way to
control the body’s cholesterol level. Okra is also high in pectin that helps in
lowering high blood cholesterol by altering the production of bile in the
intestines.

Improves Hair Problems: – Okra
can help you get healthy hair and be free from dandruff. For bouncy hair, boil
water with horizontally cut okra, strain on cooling, squeeze half a lemon and
use as a hair rinse. Experts say that it can even get rid of lice too.
08)
Improves Immunity: – The high Vitamin C content in okro helps fight cold and cough
by encouraging a healthy immune system. The Vitamin C and many essential
minerals like magnesium, manganese, calcium and iron in okra also fight against
harmful free radicals and therefore promote an overall healthy immune system.
09)
Improves Eyesight: – Vitamin A and beta carotene found in okro are essential
nutrients for maintaining good eyesight. In addition, these essential nutrients
also help prevent eye related diseases such as cataracts. The Vitamin A
promotes good eye health and protects against age related eye disorders.
10)
Contributes to a Healthy Pregnancy: – The high amount of folate contained in the okra is beneficial
for the foetus during pregnancy. Folate is an essential nutrient which improves
the development of the foetus’ brain. The high amount of folic acid in okra
plays an important role in the neural tube formation of the foetus from the
fourth to the twelfth week of pregnancy
