healthy options..


yes!..
i'm introducing to you a very good vegetable..

OKRA

Okra is a powerhouse of valuable nutrients,
nearly half of which is soluble fiber in the form of gums and pectins.
Soluble fiber helps to lower serum cholesterol,
reducing the risk of heart disease.
The other half is insoluble fiber which helps to keep the intestinal tract healthy,
decreasing the risk of some forms of cancer,
especially colon-rectal cancer.

So, let's consider okra as part of our dietary supplement..
Stay healthy..
