I had been hearing about the benefits of okra specially for diabetics like me. I then googled about it because I was not sure how to take this. There are many references which discussed using two pcs of okra, cut in the middle and placed in a glass of water overnight. I want to quote this piece from Diabetic Life which explains some of the benefits clearly as well as the 'recipe".
I had been drinking this for two days now and will try to check on my sugar again after two weeks if it really works.
Half of okra's nutrients are soluble fiber which reduce serum cholesterol and reduce risk of heart diseases. To retain the nutrients you should cook it as little as possible. The best thing is to eat it raw, 2 in the morning, 2 in the afternoon and 2 at night. If you can't eat it raw, follow this regimen every day.
