Okra for Diabetes

Okra has been used in many traditional cultures for generations to help stabilize blood sugar levels. Modern studies have also reported that it does actually provide a great deal of benefits for those with diabetes

In a 2011 study published in ISRN Pharmaceutics, researchers tested okra in rats with diabetes. Researchers soaked sliced okra pods in water and then gave the rats the solution through a gastric feeding tube. Results showed that the okra helped reduce the absorption of glucose, which in turn reduced blood sugar levels in the treated rats. The researchers noted that okra is a rich source of dietary fiber and has been traditionally used to manage or if not diabetes.

Maybe its Worth A Try!!!

All you need to do is sock sliced fresh okra pods in water over night and consume the liquid the next morning.
