“I heard that drinking lady’s fingers/okra water is effective in treating diabetes, so I have been drinking it every day
Are you practicing this as well? Is that true? Let Dietitian90 explains to you!
1. Do you know that okra has large amount of mucilage which contains soluble fiber? It is
effective in slowing down the absorption of sugar into the blood vessels.
Tip 1: We suggest you to steam or blanch the lady’s fingers first before chopping off
the head and tail.
2. Soluble fiber in okra helps to slow down the absorption of sugar but it does not mean that it
cures diabetes!
Tip 2: Instead of drinking okra water, we encourage you to eat whole okra to obtain a
more complete nutrient profile.
