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!

[@thebalancedhealthchannel]

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!

Try and steam it and then apply a healthy salad dressing. It's beautiful. It was a good alternative to the traditional way we cook it in Nigeria..

[@anne-liseteissedre3559]

​@@bizhope007Wooo, i did not know Jamaican eat okra. How do you cook it?

[@bizhope007]

@@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. 🇯🇲🌍❤️

[@richardfarley7956]

I asked this in another video like this. Are the microwaveable veggies good for you? They are so easy…..

[@thebalancedhealthchannel]

Great question! Microwaveable veggies can be a convenient and nutritious option. In most cases, microwaving helps retain more nutrients compared to boiling, as it uses less water and shorter cooking times. Just be mindful of pre-packaged options that may contain added preservatives, sauces, or sodium. If you're using plain frozen veggies, they’re a great choice for an easy and healthy meal! 😊🥦

Praise God

[@irmabronder]

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.

[@Shiv1971]

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.

[@thebalancedhealthchannel]

Great question! 🍄 While all mushrooms have health benefits, some stand out for specific reasons. For example, shiitake and maitake are excellent for immunity, while lion’s mane is great for brain health. Button mushrooms are also a great everyday choice. Variety is key for the best benefits! ✨

Are mushrooms safe for diabetes.

[@thebalancedhealthchannel]

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.

What about the side effects of using too much okra?

[@thebalancedhealthchannel]

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!

[@steve-r-collier]
