I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes over 10 years ago, and have miraculously defeated it with a no meat fast and a strict vegetarian diet and lots of exercise.Now everythings normal without medication. Thank the Lord.🎉
Diet consisted of green leafy vegetables steamed and raw salads, peas and beans, okra in every way, young morenga including the leaves, cook with plenty of garlic,Ginger , tumeric and cayean pepper with various other herbs and spices. Cinnamon sticks and leave. No flour, minimal amounts of sugar, l use brown sugar or molasses or ripe fruits in moderation especially in cereals. The nuts of choice, almonds , raw peanuts, walnut s. Plenty of flaxseeds in all meals including root vegetables, carrots, beetroots etc
I grew up eating okra, my aunt planted them in her garden , it's delicious, we had smothered okra, with rice and pork chops, , fried okra also okra gumbo , just delicious , ( yes I'm from Louisiana 😂) 6
Okras are among the cheapest and available veg in my region, I tend to have them several times a week in stir fries consisting of mushrooms, flavour (mild) peppers, evoo, sea salt, broccoli, red or green cabbage, red onion, garlic, crispy lettuce, English cucumber (yup), chilli and paprika powder, christophene/chayote, spring onion/green onion, fresh thyme, celery. I like the same combination of veg each time, nothing too starchy. ThanQ for sharing this interesting and useful video.
my favorite ...Okra ! i love okra i love it steamed and dipped in soy sauce with garlic and lemon sauce ,loved mushrooms too i add mushrooms in my spaghetti sauce,with bell peppers ,onions and its great in soups, shitake and bella mushrooms my always additions in soups and spaghetti sauces and stir fry...and for bitter greens i love bitter melon in my garden i get a lot of bitter melons so bitter but i love it because its health benefits are plenty,,i even juice it and freeze for later use.
Three years ago, I started experiencing gut issues and decided to dive deep into improving my diet. I added more okra, mushrooms, and dark leafy greens as recommended here, and wow - the difference is incredible! My digestion feels better, energy levels are up, and even my skin has improved. These changes, along with regular exercise, have truly transformed my health. I used to rely on supplements, but now I'm getting so much naturally from food. So grateful for this advice and definitely recommending it to friends!
Wow, what an inspiring story! It's amazing to hear how adding nutrient-rich foods like okra, mushrooms, and leafy greens made such a positive difference for your digestion and overall well-being. Thank you for sharing your experience-it’s proof that dietary changes can truly transform health. Keep up the great work, and thanks for recommending this to others!
Blanching 3min with salt, very crunchy sauteed,here my country we cook many kinds of veggies in one pot with liquid we put squash mushroom taro sweet goured moringa pechay then okra very tasty flavor with lemon grass nice
Thanks for all your great advice. I really enjoy watching your videos, they provide a lot of knowledge and are very helpful on a daily basis in choosing food when shopping, etc. Thank you ❤✨
Thank you for sharing. It's much appreciated. By the way, okra can be cooked as a curry dish or as a stir fry. Recipes for these alternative dishes can be found on the internet or in cook books. 😊
@@anne-liseteissedre3559 Jamaicans love okra. You can steam it like a vegetable and have it with meals and other veggies with yam, dumplings, steamed green bananas, etc. Another common way is to steam it with fish and again having it with what we call 'ground provisions' which again would be yams, green bananas, possibly cassava, or whatever is available, even rice. Cooking in soup is also another way, but maybe not as popular as with steamed fish. One Love. 🇯🇲🌍❤️

You’re very welcome! 🌺 We’re glad you found the information helpful. Vegetables truly are wonderful for health, and we’re happy you’re enjoying the content. Thank you for your kind support!
When you believe this, I am sorry. In every food item there is something good. But good means in the West, that you eat it the whole year around simply because it is healthy. Nature gives you the vegetables and fruit you need at the time of year. So most vegetables are healthy, when eaten in the right season they promote health, while eaten in the wrong season it creates dis-ease.
No. Some veggies are harmful unless used with a fasting AND diet protocol. Oxalates, phytic acid, and lectins are harmful when the gut bacteria cannot control these.
Hello Sir i have things to tell you here in the philippines mon of october more lightning thunderstorm in our farm we harvest mushroom very tasty mushroom from nature only mos of october then mix with okra so nice .
Thank you for this video. In Nigeria we sometimes combine Okra, mushrooms and dark green vegetables like pumpkin leaves in the same soup especially with little or no oil. It is so so yummy 😂 And yes you can add fish or prawns to the soup😊
Okra is a favorite for many with its unique taste and health benefits! Enjoy cooking it tomorrow, and feel free to share how you prepared it. Happy cooking!
I wasnt raised with okra, mushrooms, or arugula etc. Raised on farm in Ky. Have no idea how t cook these things. At the store mushrooms look dirty & i dont know how t eash them. Trief arugula ,& was bitter 😢
Wow, it sounds like you have a lot of variety in your cooking! Blanching, adding okra to rice, and sautéing are all delicious ways to bring out its flavor. Thanks for sharing your creative cooking ideas with us!
Nobody is forcing white Americans to eat okra. The rest of humanity have been eating okra forever in its whole state and enjoying it. Because we know how to cook and we appreciate good food.
Such a great video! I never knew how much of an impact vegetables like okra, mushrooms, and bitter greens could have on gut health and longevity. The tip about roasting okra to eliminate the slimy texture is a game-changer for me. I’ll definitely be incorporating more of these veggies into my diet!
Thanks so much for your kind words! 😊 We’re glad the video opened up new ways for you to enjoy veggies like okra, mushrooms, and bitter greens. Roasting okra really is a game-changer for that texture-hope you love it! Let us know how it goes when you try incorporating more of these into your diet!
Collards are definitely a powerhouse veggie! They often have slightly different nutrients compared to kale, so both have their own strengths. Great choice for your greens!
Boiling is such a simple and nutritious way to enjoy vegetables! Mushrooms and okra are great choices for gut health and overall well-being. Keep it up, and thanks for sharing your method!
Great point! Thank you for mentioning that mushrooms can be high in purines, which is important for those who are gout-sensitive. It's always crucial to consider individual health conditions when adding foods to your diet. Appreciate you highlighting this for our viewers!
Great question! While okra is generally safe and nutritious, eating too much can lead to digestive issues for some, like bloating or gas. It's also high in oxalates, which could be a concern for people prone to kidney stones. Moderation and a balanced diet are key. Thanks for bringing this up!
Yes, mushrooms can be a beneficial part of a diet for individuals with diabetes. They are low in carbohydrates, which is crucial for managing blood sugar levels. Here are some reasons why mushrooms are considered safe and even beneficial for those managing diabetes: Low in Carbohydrates: Mushrooms have a very low carbohydrate content, which helps in preventing blood sugar spikes. High in Fiber: Some varieties of mushrooms are good sources of dietary fiber, which can help in managing blood glucose levels more effectively. Rich in Nutrients: Mushrooms are rich in vitamins and minerals, including selenium, potassium, and vitamin D, without adding excess calories or sugars to the diet. These nutrients support overall health and can help manage or prevent complications associated with diabetes. Antioxidant Properties: They contain antioxidants, which can help reduce oxidative stress and inflammation, factors that are important in managing chronic conditions like diabetes. Low Glycemic Index: Foods with a low glycemic index are beneficial for people with diabetes because they cause a slower increase in blood glucose levels. Mushrooms have a low glycemic index. Versatility in Diet: Mushrooms can be a versatile addition to a diabetic diet, as they can be used in various dishes, providing flavor and texture without adding unhealthy fats or excessive calories. However, while mushrooms can be a healthy part of a diabetes-friendly diet, it's essential to consider the overall balance of the diet and monitor blood sugar levels as part of comprehensive diabetes management. It's also advisable to consult with a healthcare provider or a dietitian to create a diet plan that meets individual health needs and goals.
Thank you for sharing! It's interesting how certain foods, like okra (ladyfinger), vary in popularity around the world. Even if it's not a regular part of your diet, it's always great to know more about the nutritional benefits and options available. Have you tried cooking it in any specific way that you enjoyed?
@thebalancedhealthchannel my mom makes it but she can't make it dry , she do not roast it , but I will try your method and thank you for giving such a response .
You're correct-chard does contain oxalates, which can affect people with certain health concerns like kidney stones. It's important to enjoy it in moderation and pair it with a varied diet. Thanks for pointing that out!
Finding organic okra can be a challenge, especially in certain areas. Farmers' markets or local co-ops might have organic options, and some grocery stores carry it frozen. Have you had any luck sourcing it locally?
Yes, you’re right-okra does contain oxalates. For those sensitive to oxalates or managing specific health conditions, it’s wise to enjoy okra in moderation. Thanks for adding this important note!

GREAT VIDEO THANKS YOU GOODNESS 🌟 DAPHNE COTTON ALWAYS 💜,
I live in the San Francisco Peninsula have tried over the years to find Okra either fresh or frozen or canned no such luck
Grow a small patch garden Your own
Go to Oriental market
Go to any Asian store or grocery They have it at Safeway already cut in the freezer section. Sometimes they have it whole also frozen
Indian grocery store must have them fresh and frozen for sure
Just grow it in your garden or in flower pots.
