Being a vegetable, it is obvious that okro is healthy
and should be included in your menu. Here are a

improve colon health by allowing the organ to work
at a higher rate of efficiency and reduce the risk of
colon cancer.
02) Prevents Diabetes: -

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.

cholesterol 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.
07) 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
