As kids, we were constantly advised by our parents to eat more vegetables. But, obviously, we never did that simply because we felt veggies were not as tasty as chips or chocolates.

When we grew up, we've now realised how nutritious vegetables can be, so we're making an effort every day to make veggies a part of our daily diets. This is true in most people's cases.
Vegetables and fruits contain numerous nutrients that are very essential to keep us healthy. They are rich in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals that can improve our health to a great extent.
During the ancient times, people used extracts from vegetables to prepare remedies that could cure various disorders.
Even today, the medicinal system of Ayurveda uses extracts of different vegetables to help ease away symptoms of certain ailments.
Research studies put in millions of dollars every year to conduct studies on the health benefits of different vegetables.
Recently, it has been found that okra, more popularly known as the lady's finger, is one such vegetable that comes with numerous health benefits.
Read on to learn more about some of the lesser known health benefits of okra!
