Compared with common vegetables, okra is rich in protein, carbohydrates, polysaccharides, vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber, flavonoids and other nutrients.

Because of these nutrients, eating okra in moderation has many health functions:

1. Anti-fatigue: Okra can eliminate lactic acid accumulation after exercise, which has a significant effect on fatigue recovery and improving anti-fatigue ability. Because of this, okra has been designated as the first choice vegetable for athletes in many countries.

2. Okra contains a lot of mucus and is rich in water-soluble dietary fiber, which can slow down the absorption of carbohydrates in the intestine, promote intestinal peristalsis, help defecation and prevent constipation.

3. Okra is also rich in vitamin C and trace elements such as zinc and selenium, which can supplement the nutrients needed by the human body and enhance immunity.

4. Okra is also rich in calcium, which is suitable for patients who need calcium supplementation.

In addition, okra has low calories, high fiber content and strong satiety, which is conducive to maintaining a healthy weight.
