bhindi helps in reducing cholestrol

We’re quite sure you like lady’s fingers of the other kind, but what about the vegetable? We’ve found enough reasons for you to like the homely bhindi. This one is very rich in fibre, which regulates your blood sugar and reduces the absorption of dietary cholesterol. Okra is also fairly rich in folic acid, which plays an important role in red cell formation, cellular regeneration and nervous system. Defi ciency of this essential nutrient can cause anaemia, mental fatigue, depression and irritability. It is also a good source of antioxidant-rich carotenoids. Indian regional cuisines have plenty of recipes featuring bhindi.
