Okra is just a kind of food. It contains cellulose, some vitamins and some trace elements, but the supplement is still unreliable.
Okra is an invasive species in plants. Its origin is India. In India, it was not attached too much value, and it was rejected by Indian foodies because of too much mucus. Later, it was introduced to China as an ornamental plant. After a period of research, it began to be popularized with various functions.
When I first came into contact with Baidu a few years ago, there were many answers about the "aphrodisiac" effect of brushing okra, but it got off to a bad start as soon as it went online. Another group of people are pushing waistcoats, so these two species, both exotic plants, are locked in the question of who is more "aphrodisiac" As a result, the Maca team was obviously better. Okra lost and its "aphrodisiac" plan was put on hold.
As the "three highs" became more and more serious, and the pectin content of okra was higher than other vegetables, the okra team had a brainwave and crowned it with the effect of lowering blood sugar. However, some popular science tips suggest that pectin is not higher than many kinds of fruits, so the plan to lower blood sugar is stillborn.
After the two plans failed, another "anti-cancer" effect appeared, which can be regarded as the latest version of okra. This version has just begun, and all kinds of media are spreading it, but to be clear, if cancer was solved so well, so many people would not die in the world. It is a vegetable, not a medicine, so if you think about fighting cancer, you will know that you are talking nonsense.
Since several functional versions of okra have been changed when it was promoted, this cancer version is just for viewing. There is no need to eat more to fight cancer. It's just a civilian vegetable.
