Okra offers many health benefits such as aiding digestion, boosting immunity, reducing inflammation and relieving allergy symptoms. The natural mucus in okra helps soothe the intestines and improve nutrient absorption. At the same time, okra is rich in antioxidants, helping to protect the body from harmful agents and slow down the aging process. In particular, the high vitamin C content also helps reduce coughs, increase resistance and help the body adapt better to environmental allergens.
