00:00I bet you did not know that okra originated in Ethiopia and is a staple in African cuisines
00:06and among the black population worldwide. Also, in ancient times, people used to eat
00:12okra to increase their sexual desire and have beautiful skin. Historically, okra,
00:17also known as lady's finger or gumbo, has indeed been used as a natural aphrodisiac in some
00:23cultures. The gummy texture of okra was believed to have a beneficial effect on sexual function
00:29and desire. This was likely due to the high nutrient content, including vitamins A and C,
00:35as well as minerals like magnesium and zinc, all of which can support hormone regulation
00:41and sexual health. Not only that okra is also beneficial for your digestive health,
00:46heart health, weight management, for your hair, and many other things.
00:49Before we start, let me tell you in advance, pay 100% attention until the end because the
00:55information you will get here has not been available until now on the whole of YouTube.
01:00If you leave after this, well, it's your loss. Let's dig out the hidden and miraculous health
01:05benefits of okra. Benefit number 1. Helps in weight loss by stimulating your appetite.
01:11If you are on a weight loss journey, including okra water in your diet will help you keep feeling
01:16full, and this happens because it is an excellent source of fiber, amino acids, vitamins, and
01:21minerals. Not just that, it also includes both soluble and insoluble fiber. The latter cannot be
01:28dissolved by water and helps the food move through the gastrointestinal system easily.
01:33However, both types of fiber give the feeling of fullness in the stomach and hence,
01:38help to curb appetite. Benefit number 2. It controls your cholesterol level.
01:42Okra water can be quite helpful in controlling cholesterol levels. This happens because okra
01:47is rich in soluble fiber, and this is the key to its cholesterol-lowering benefits.
01:53The soluble fiber in okra binds to cholesterol in the digestive system before it can get absorbed
01:59into the bloodstream. In simple terms, when you drink okra water, the soluble fiber from
02:04the okra gets dissolved in the water. As this fiber-rich liquid moves through your gut,
02:09it traps cholesterol particles and escorts them out of the body before they can be used to form
02:14harmful plaque in your arteries, which in turn helps in reducing your levels of LDL, the bad
02:21cholesterol, while leaving your HDL, the good cholesterol, unaffected. Lower LDL levels mean
02:29less risk of developing heart disease and other cardiovascular problems. Additionally, okra
02:34contains antioxidants like vitamin C and K as well as compounds called polyphenols. These
02:41antioxidants help prevent the oxidation of cholesterol, which is another key step in the
02:47formation of artery-clogging plaque. Benefit number 3. Helps you with good hair and skin.
02:52In today's world with increased pollution, everything is getting worse, and our hair and
02:57skin take the most toll because of it. Thankfully, we have so many natural remedies available to at
03:03least reverse the damage caused by the pollution and harmful UV rays of the sun. So, if you want
03:10to promote healthy hair growth, you will need vitamins and minerals in like vitamins A, C,
03:15and K as well as iron and magnesium. All of these are present in okra. Additionally, okra is rich
03:22in antioxidants that can protect hair from damage caused by free radicals and environmental
03:28stressors. This helps prevent issues like hair thinning, breakage, and premature graying. Also,
03:34the mucilage, slimy component of okra, also acts as a natural conditioner. When used as a hair
03:41rinse or mask, it can deeply hydrate strands, reducing frizz and adding shine. Okra is also
03:47high in vitamin C, which is one of the key components essential to produce collagen,
03:52which keeps skin firm, elastic, and youthful-looking. The antioxidants in okra also
03:57work to neutralize damaging free radicals that can accelerate aging and wrinkle formation. This
04:02helps maintain an even, glowing complexion. Moreover, the mucilage in okra has soothing,
04:08moisturizing properties that can calm inflammation and hydrate dry skin. It may even help minimize
04:14the appearance of scars and blemishes. When consumed as okra water, these beneficial nutrients
04:20get absorbed systemically, benefiting the skin from the inside out. It is a simple way to nourish
04:25your complexion. Benefit number four. It helps in boosting menstrual and ovulatory health. By now,
04:31you should know that okra has high fiber content, and it is also rich in vitamin B6. So,
04:37the high fiber content and the soluble fiber in okra help regulate menstrual cycles and alleviate
04:44common period-related issues, such as it balances hormone levels, which can reduce cramping,
04:50bloating, and other PMS symptoms. And the vitamin B6 in okra helps in the production of progesterone,
04:56the hormone that helps control the menstrual cycle. So, if you have proper B6 intake,
05:02it will help a woman have their period consistently, which will result in less painful
05:07periods. Benefit number five. It helps in treating gonorrhea, STD, dysentery, and urinary tract
05:13infections. The high water content in okra, along with its anti-inflammatory properties,
05:19improves bladder function and flushes out toxins. And due to its antimicrobial properties,
05:24it can help fight the bacteria that cause STDs. The mucilage, gel-like substance, in okra,
05:31has been shown to have antibacterial effects. Hence, when you drink okra water, it will help
05:37in flushing out the urinary tract and reducing inflammation. Now, if you are suffering from
05:43dysentery, which is an infection of the intestines that causes diarrhea containing blood or mucus,
05:49well, okra water can help in treating dysentery due to its soothing and anti-inflammatory effects
05:55on the digestive system. Also, the slime in okra can help coat and protect the intestinal lining,
06:02which can provide relief from diarrhea, cramping, and inflammation associated with dysentery.
06:09Now, it also has mild astringent properties that can help reduce fluid loss from diarrhea.
06:14For urinary tract infections, the antimicrobial compounds in okra may also help in fighting the
06:21bacterial infections that cause UTIs, and its diuretic properties help in flushing out bacteria
06:28from the urinary tract. So, men who suffer from STDs can benefit from it as it will reduce the
06:34burning sensation while urinating. Benefit number six helps in higher sexual stimulation. Studies
06:40have shown that okra water can be a great asset for stimulating female sexual pleasure. This is
06:46because glycogen-rich okra helps to raise the level of estrogen in women, leading to higher
06:52sexual stimulation. It can increase lubrication during intercourse and make it easier to reach
06:57orgasm. Now, it also has compounds that can act as an aphrodisiac, but it also helps regulate
07:03blood flow and hormone production. By drinking okra water daily as part of a balanced diet,
07:08women can increase genital sensitivity and clitoral stimulation to amplify pleasure during
07:13arousal. Furthermore, research shows that okra has anti-inflammatory benefits, which can reduce
07:19discomfort during intercourse often caused by gynecological issues such as yeast infections
07:25or bacterial vaginosis. In short, the benefits of okra water to females sexually remain vast
07:32and should not be overlooked when thinking of ways to restore vitality and well-being.
07:37Benefit No. 7. Good During Pregnancy During pregnancy, a balanced and healthy diet
07:42is one of the keys to delivering a healthy baby. One beneficial food option for pregnant women to
07:47consider is okra water. Okra's benefits come from its high levels of vitamin B, calcium, and iron,
07:54all essential nutrients needed during pregnancy to keep the expecting mother and baby healthy.
08:00Additionally, this vegetable has benefits unique to pregnant women such as reducing
08:05morning sickness and easing labor pains as it softens the cervix walls.
08:10Benefit No. 8. It Helps in Controlling Blood Sugar Levels
08:14Because okra contains soluble fiber which slows the absorption of sugar from your intestines,
08:19it helps to prevent blood sugar spikes and promotes more stable blood sugar levels
08:24as well as preventing diabetes. However, further research is necessary to fully
08:30comprehend the effects of okra water on blood sugar regulation.
08:33Benefit No. 9. Promote Eye Health Okra is high in vitamin A and beta-carotene,
08:39both of which are antioxidants that can help prevent age-related vision problems like macular
08:45degeneration and cataracts. The presence of vitamins A and C in okra also helps to support
08:51healthy tissues in the eyes and mucous membranes, protecting against health problems associated with
08:57eye infections. Benefit No. 10. Helps in Strengthen Your Bones
09:01Okra is a great source of calcium and vitamin K which can protect against osteoporosis and slow
09:08down bone loss. In fact, according to reports, okra hydrocolloids have the potential to serve
09:14as a foundation for the development of prosthetics and scaffolds for bone and cartilage engineering.
09:19Now you might be wondering how to make it. Well, it's very simple. Just take 4-6 okra pods
09:24and clean them. You can cut the okra tips or leave the okra pods whole,
09:28it's a matter of personal preference. But keep in mind that if you choose to
09:32cut the okra down the middle or chop it into slices, it may have a more bitter taste.
09:37Place the okra pods into a mason jar or any container you would use to store drinks,
09:42a bottle, jug, etc. Now, pour 8 oz of water into the container with the okra and let it sit
09:49overnight. In the morning, remove the okra from the water and strain the water just in case there
09:54are any seeds. That's it. You can now drink the magical okra water. Now keep in mind that
09:59anything in excess can be bad for your health. When consumed in large quantities, okra water
10:04can contribute to digestive issues. Also, if you have existing digestive issues, it can exacerbate
10:10the condition. Some people may also not like the taste of it. Therefore, start with smaller
10:15quantities and consult with a healthcare professional if you have any health issues
10:19before consuming it. Please don't forget to subscribe, like, comment, and share my channel.
