4 common questions about [Okra water]

Q1. Do I have to drink okra water in the morning?

A: "It is better to drink it in the morning." Because okra needs to be soaked in water for more than 8 hours, if it is soaked at night, it can be drunk when you wake up the next morning. However, okra water does not have to be drunk in the morning. Drinking it before or after meals has the same effect. You can adjust the time of drinking according to your purpose. If you want to slow down the rise of blood sugar, you can drink it before meals; if you want to prevent leg cramps during sleep, you can drink it before going to bed!

Q2. Why can’t okra water be heated or frozen?

A: "It may be related to the action of enzymes." Because it is still unknown what other active ingredients are in okra water, it is speculated that enzymes are one of the key factors. The activity of enzymes is highest at 35-45℃. In a frozen state, the enzymes will not work, and high temperatures will cause their activity to disappear.

Q3.Are there any other effective ways to drink okra water?

A: Soaking okra in Rooibos tea and drinking it can prevent capillary ghosting and improve microcirculation flow. Because "Rooibos Tea" can activate the Iron 2 substance in the microvessels and strengthen the microvessel cells. Simply replace the water used to soak okra with South African tea that has been cooled to room temperature. The flavor of the tea can make you ignore the taste of the dish and make it easier to eat.

Q4. How to make okra water more palatable?

A: Add "black vinegar, African national treasure tea, broth, maple syrup, oligosaccharides, monk fruit extract, lemon, grapefruit, etc." It is also delicious in an iced state. If you don’t want to drink it iced, you can add warm water (body temperature is fine, overheating will inactivate the enzyme) and drink it. It should be noted that beverages containing sugar, caffeine, and dairy products can cause sympathetic nerve excitement and poor blood flow, so try to avoid drinking them together. Also, honey or apple cider vinegar are not recommended due to physical differences.
