Mostly Okra water is going viral because of it’s potential usefulness in regulating the blood sugar levels. Considering the global burden of Diabetes, it has started to become viral everywhere. What research has indicated is, maybe the mucilage that’s attached to the surface of Okra helps in lowering the absorption of excess glucose in the intestine. In addition, Okra has polysaccharides in them along with ample polyphenolic compounds like important flavonoids and they are good fiber sources too. So, all of these can be helpful against many other diseases too inclusive of Diabetes. Talking about okra water, not much evidence-based research studies have emerged up until now and the inferences still exist at the preliminary level. So, we need to wait till more research has been taken up in this area to know the real clinical benefits of okra water.

I think okra water is good if we use it in the right way.
I feel it’s a simple and natural way to improve digestion and boost immunity.
But it’s important to remember it’s not a cure and should be taken along with a balanced diet.
