Eat More Okra!

Okra may send shivers down some people's spine while other people's mouths begin to water. People seem to either really enjoy the okra benefits or really hate it.  There doesn't seem to be much middle ground. Okra recipes are much more common fair in the southern part of the United States. This doesn’t mean that it can’t be enjoyed in all aspects of the States.

It is possible to find the vegetable in your local market's frozen food section if you are unable to locate it fresh. Eating veggie is very healthy for you, and there are many reasons for this. One benefit of eating it is that it can be used as a demulcent. This is a compound that can coat and ultimately soothe inflammation and pain of membranes. The demulcent in okra is mucilage.
