Okra : Health Benefits
I got this from a post in Raw Food Rehab in the "kitchen" room and thought I'd pass it on... If you haven't checked out Raw Food Rehab be sure to click link above they offer great support,recipes,how to's, etc!!!!
Health Benefits of Okra
1.The superior fiber found in okra helps to stabilize the blood sugar by curbing the rate at which sugar is absorbed from the intestinal tract.
2.Okra's mucilage binds cholesterol and bile acid carrying toxins dumped into it by the filtering liver.
3.Okra helps lubricate the large intestines due to its bulk laxative qualities. The okra fiber absorbs water and ensures bulk in stools. This helps prevent and improve constipation. Unlike harsh wheat bran, which can irritate or injure the intestinal tract, okra's mucilage soothes, and okra facilitates elimination more comfortably by its slippery characteristic. Okra binds excess cholesterol and toxins (in bile acids). These, if not evacuated, will cause numerous health problems. Okra also assures easy passage out of waste from the body. Okra is completely non-toxic, non-habit forming, has no adverse side effects, is full of nutrients, and is economically within reach of most individuals unlike over-the-counter drugs.
4.Okra fiber is excellent for feeding the good bacteria (probiotics). This contributes to the health of the intestinal tract.
5.Okra is a supreme vegetable for those feeling weak, exhausted, and suffering from depression.
6.Okra is used for healing ulcers and to keep joints limber. It helps to neutralize acids, being very alkaline, and provides a temporary protective coating for the digestive tract.
7.Okra treats lung inflammation, sore throat, and irritable bowel syndrome.
8.Okra has been used successfully in experimental blood plasma replacements.
9.Okra is good for summer heat treatment.
10.Okra is good for constipation.
11.Okra is good in normalizing the blood sugar and cholesterol level.
12.Okra is good for asthma. Okra's vitamin C is an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, which curtail the development of asthma symptoms.
13.Okra is good for atherosclerosis.
14.Okra is believed to protect some forms of cancer expansion, especially colorectal cancer.
15.Eating okra helps to support the structure of capillaries.
16.Some information shows that eating okra lowers the risk of cataracts.
17.Okra is good for preventing diabetes.
18.Okra protects you from pimples and maintains smooth and beautiful skin. We understand the reason why Cleopatra and Yang Guifei loved to eat okra.
There are other medicinal uses of okra, like its protection against trans fats.

ASIAN COLESLAW
I just made my own version of an ASIAN COLESLAW and it was really good !! so thought I'd post it here..
Sorry no picture by time I thought of that it was eaten up hahaha)
ok my measurements are estimates you may need taste as ya go)
ASIAN COLESLAW
this makes about 2 servings (I made it as a "side salad")
DRESSING:
2 Tbsp tahini
3 or 4 sprays Bragg's liquid amino's (can use soy sauce of choice)
(4 sprays is about 1/2 tsp maybe?)
4 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
grated ginger (or can use powder) to taste
1 clove garlic (or can use powder to taste)
about 4 tablespoons olive oil (I try not to use much oil)
1/4 to 1/2 tsp honey (or agave)
black pepper to taste
**if you like a little kick add some cayenne pepper to taste (OPTIONAL)
then add water until at consistency you like ( I added maybe 5 tbsp water)
Also if dressing seems too strong for you try adding more tahini ( or whatever nut butter you use) and thin with water if needed to get consistency you like ...
SALAD:
1/4 purple cabbage shredded (you can use reg green cabbage or mix them together - I just like the color of purple haha)
1 grated carrot
one green onion (I snip mine with scissors)
add some raw almonds chopped or your favorite nut
and some raw sunflower seeds
I hand tossed everything together and massaged dressing in real well and my Mom thinks it tastes better if let sit overnight haha (thats her 2 cents haha) if to salty use less soy sauce (or less Bragg's) you can also try using any mild nut butter you have on hand if you don't have tahini...
I was just getting a bit tired of the same old coleslaw and this turned out to be very tasty!!!
Til next time ,
Keep on RAWKIN !!!
