Okra! Who knew....!!!

Subject: Okra! Who knew

Here's something new... A guy has been suffering from constipation for the past 20 years
and recently from acid reflux. He didn't realize that the treatment could be so simple -- OKRA!
He started eating okra within the last 2 months and since then has never taken medication
again. All he did was consume 6 pieces of OKRA everyday. He's now regular and his blood sugar
has dropped from 135 to 98, with his cholesterol and acid reflux also under control.

Here are some facts on okra (from the research of University of Illinois. "Okra is a powerhouse
of valuable nutrients, nearly half of which is soluble fiber in the form of gums and pectins. Soluble
fiber helps to lower serum cholesterol, reducing the risk of heart disease. The other half is insoluble
fiber which helps to keep the intestinal tract healthy, decreasing the risk of some forms of cancer,
especially colorectal cancer..

Nearly 10% of the recommended levels of vitamin B6 and folic acid is also present in a half cup of
cooked okra. Okra is a rich source of many nutrients, including fiber, vitamin B6 and folic acid.

He got the following numbers from the University of Illinois Extension Okra Page.. Please check there
for more details.

Okra Nutrition (half-cup cooked okra)

* Calories = 25
* Dietary Fiber = 2 grams
* Protein = 1.5 grams
* Carbohydrates = 5.8 grams
* Vitamin A = 460 IU
* Vitamin C = 13 mg
* Folic acid = 36.5 micrograms
* Calcium = 50 mg
* Iron = 0.4 mg
* Potassium = 256 mg
* Magnesium = 46 mg

These numbers should be used as a guideline only, and if you are on a medically-restricted diet
please consult your physician and/or dietician..

1. The superior fiber found in okra helps to stabilize blood sugar as it curbs the rate at which sugar
is absorbed from the intestinal tract.

2. Okra's mucilage not only binds cholesterol but bile acid carrying toxins dumped into it by the
filtering liver. But it doesn't stop there..

3. Many alternative health practitioners believe all disease begins in the colon. The okra fiber,
absorbing water and ensuring bulk in stools, helps prevent constipation. Fiber in general is helpful
for this but okra is one of the best, along with ground flax seed and psyllium.

Unlike harsh wheat bran, which can irritate or injure the intestinal tract, okra's mucilage soothes,
and okra facilitates elimination more comfortably by its slippery characteristic many people abhor.
In other words, this incredibly valuable vegetable not only binds excess cholesterol and toxins
(in bile acids) which cause numerous health problems, if not evacuated, but also assures their easy
passage from the body. The veggie is completely non-toxic, non-habit forming (except for the many
who greatly enjoy eating it), has no adverse side effects, is full of nutrients, and is economically
within reach of most.

4.. Further contributing to the health of the tract, okra fiber (as well as flax and psyllium) has no equal
among fibers for feeding the good bacteria (probiotics).

5. To retain most of okra's nutrients and self-digesting enzymes! , it should be cooked as little as
possible, e.g. with low heat or lightly steamed. Some eat it raw.

SHE took the same shrimp/prawn..!!! However at the same time the deceased also took'vitamin C', that is where the problem is.!!!

Bas Baskaran.......Chicago,USA

Better safe than sorry.
YOU MAY POISON YOURSELF ACCIDENTALLY

In Taiwan , a woman suddenly died unexpectedly with signs of bleeding from her ears, nose, mouth & eyes. After a preliminary autopsy it was diagnosed death due to arsenic poisoning death. Where did the arsenic come from?

The police launched an in-depth and extensive investigation. A medical school professor was invited to come to solve the case.

The professor carefully looked at the contents from the deceased's stomach, in less than half an hour, the mystery was solved... The professor said: 'The deceased did not commit suicide and neither was she murdered, she died of accidental death due to ignorance!'

Everyone was puzzled, why accidental death? The arsenic is of the U.S. military for carrying rice seedlings H Gao. The professor said:
'The arsenic is produced in the stomach of the deceased.' The deceased used to take 'Vitamin C' everyday, which in itself is not a problem. The problem was that she ate a large portion ofshrimp/prawn during dinner.
Eating shrimp/prawn is not the problem that's why nothing happened to her family ever though they took the same shrimp/prawn. However at the same time the deceased also took'vitamin C', that is where the problem is!

Researchers at the University of Chicago in the United States , found through experiments, food such as soft-shell shrimp/prawn contains a much higher concentration of - five potassium arsenic compounds...

Such fresh food by itself has no toxic effects on the human body. However, in taking 'vitamin C', due to the chemical reaction, the original non-toxic - five potassium arsenic (As anhydride, also known as arsenic oxide, the chemical formula for As205) changed to a three potassium toxic arsenic (ADB arsenic anhydride), also known as arsenic trioxide, a chemical formula (As203), which is commonly known as arsenic to the public!

Arsenic poisoning have magma role and can cause paralysis to the small blood vessels, "mercapto Jimei"??, inhibits the activity of the liver and fat necrosis change Hepatic Lobules Centre, heart, liver, kidney, intestine congestion, epithelial cell necrosis, telangiectasia. Therefore, a person who dies of arsenic poisoning will show signs of bleeding from the ears, nose, mouth & eyes.

Therefore; as a precautionary measure, DO NOT take shrimp/prawn when taking 'vitamin C'.

After reading this; please do not be stingy. Forward to your friends and family!!

A mechanism in the body that causes high blood pressure has been uncovered by British scientists in a breakthrough that could lead to new treatments!

High blood pressure switch could one day be turned off

A mechanism in the body that causes high blood pressure has been uncovered by British scientists in a breakthrough that could lead to new treatments for the condition.





By Richard Alleyne, Science Correspondent


Researchers have found for the first time a key step in how the body controls blood pressure and so how the process sometimes goes wrong.



By targeting the mechanism they can stop it from malfunctioning and so prevent the condition, known as hypertension, that affects millions of people in Britain and is a major cause of heart disease and stroke.



The researchers at Cambridge University and Nottingham University discovered the mechanism while studying pre-eclampsia, a potentially deadly form of high blood pressure which occurs in women during pregnancy.



Blood pressure is controlled by hormones called angiotensin which in too high a dose forces blood vessels to constrict, increasing blood pressure.



The scientists, who have spent 20 years researching the hormones, have discovered the very first stage in their development. They now believe they could develop a way of inhibiting the "switch" that allows the hormones to overproduce and prevent the onset of high blood pressure.



Professor Robin Carrell at the University of Cambridge, said: "We have found the first step in the main process that controls blood pressure.



"We are excited by what we have found because of the potential insights it provides us. Knowledge of what causes a disease is the number one factor needed for its eventual management and treatment.



"By getting a step earlier and looking at an earlier change we are opening up new strategies and coming closer to the reason why some people develop hypertension."



Dr Aiwu Zhou, a British Heart Foundation (BHF) Fellow at the University of Cambridge, said: "Although we primarily focused on pre-eclampsia, the research also opens new leads for future research into the causes of hypertension in general."



Millions of people in Britain suffer from hypertension, one of the major causes of heart disease and stroke and drugs that treat it make up six per cent of all prescriptions.



Drugs currently used to treat high blood pressure – such as ACE inhibitors – focus on the later stages of the mechanism that controls blood pressure.



The study, which was published in Nature, hopes to lead to new inhibitors that nip the condition in the bud before it has caused any damage.



High blood pressure frequently affects pregnancy. However, in two to seven per cent of pregnancies this develops into pre-eclampsia, which threatens the health and survival of both the mother and child.



Around 55,000 women a year die from the condition.
