Bhindi: As soon as green vegetables are mentioned, the most favorite name that comes to our mind in our kitchen and plate is Bhindi. This vegetable, which is loved in almost every household in India, is not only famous for its unique taste and quick preparation, but it is also an excellent option from health point of view. Be it the crispy ‘Bharwa Bhindi’, the simple ‘Bhindi Do Pyaza’ made with onions, or the dry roasted vegetable with peanuts and spices – Bhindi tastes delicious in every form. The combination of dry spicy ladyfinger with dal and rice is considered the pride of Indian food. But perhaps you do not know how beneficial ladyfinger is for health. According to Dr. Shubham Vats, ladyfinger is a treasure of nutrients. Vitamin C, A, K, B-complex, magnesium, potassium, calcium and abundant fiber are found in it. If you consume ladyfinger regularly, it can protect you from many serious diseases. Let us know what are the benefits of Ladyfinger.
For the digestive system
Okra is rich in both soluble and insoluble fibre. Doctor Shubham Vats explains that the ‘mucilage’ present in ladyfinger lubricates the digestive tract and helps in cleaning the intestines. This provides immediate relief from problems like constipation, gas and acidity.
Bloating and gas
Due to wrong digestion, problems like gas and heaviness in the stomach start occurring. The fiber in okra improves intestinal motility, which makes food easily digested and reduces the problem of gas or flatulence.
Bad gut microbiome
Lady finger works as an excellent ‘prebiotic’. It nourishes the good bacteria present in the intestines. When the balance of gut bacteria improves, many digestive problems begin to resolve on their own.
For heart health
Lady’s finger contains an element called ‘pectin’, which helps in reducing bad cholesterol in the body. Its regular consumption reduces the risk of blockage in the arteries, which keeps blood pressure under control and prevents heart diseases.
