Drinking okra water with ginger has surprising benefits
The Benefits of Ginger
According to EDH, ginger has various health benefits. It can promote blood circulation, improve cold hands and feet, act as an antibacterial agent, boost immunity, alleviate cold symptoms, and may also help relieve menstrual pain. Gingerol is the main bioactive compound in ginger, known for its strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
A clinical trial conducted by the University of Miami found that ginger effectively alleviates knee pain. The trial involved 261 patients with osteoarthritis, divided into two groups: one group consumed ginger extract daily, while the other did not. After six weeks, the researchers found that the group taking ginger extract experienced a 40% reduction in knee pain due to osteoarthritis.
The Benefits of Okra
Okra, native to West Africa, is often referred to as “green ginseng” due to its amazing health benefits. It is rich in vitamin C, which helps boost the immune system and protect against illnesses and infections. The mucilage in okra, composed of mucin and pectin, helps retain moisture in the digestive tract. Pectin is a water-soluble fiber that helps lower cholesterol and prevent constipation.
Li Wanping, a nutrition expert from Taiwan (China), notes that okra contains several important nutrients necessary for the human body, including carbohydrates, fiber, unsaturated fatty acids, vitamins, phytochemicals, and minerals like potassium and calcium.
The vitamins and antioxidants in okra help fade dark spots, improve skin texture, and promote healthy, smooth skin. Okra is also high in fiber, which helps you feel full longer, reducing unnecessary snacking and thus aiding in weight loss. Additionally, okra helps control blood sugar levels and improves eyesight.
