-Okra contains also reasonable quantities of the elements Potassium and calcium, implying 1/2 cup of okra contains 200 mg of Potassium, 50 mg of Calcium.
Therefore, in conclusion okra is a complementary remedy for both anemia and bone problems in patients, along side those with eye problems.
The folic acids found in okra are equally used by the body in the formation of red blood cells, than vitamins A acids and also improves vision while Calcium and Potassium acids are very good in bone formation.
Therefore please kindly endeavour to develop interest in the consumption of Okra and should be frequent. It can also be cultivated on our free spaces in the yards as only a handful of it can produce a great deal of soup. Always remember that a healthy man is a wealthy man as we need to live healthy and strong.
Thanks for reading and support.
