Instructions:
– Step 1: Wash the okra pods thoroughly to remove any dirt or pesticides. Trim off the ends of the pods.
– Step 2: Cut the pods into thin slices. This increases the surface area and allows more nutrients to leach into the water.
– Step 3: Place the sliced okra in a large mason jar or pitcher and fill it with water. Let it soak overnight at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
– Step 4: In the morning, strain the water to remove the okra slices. Your okra water is ready to drink!
Taking the Challenge:
– Drink okra water every morning for 30 days.
What to Expect: Certain people might find the texture of the water a bit slimy because of the natural mucilage in okra. If the texture is off-putting, you can add a squeeze of lemon or lime to enhance the flavor and cut through the sliminess.
– Keep track of any changes in your digestion, energy levels, or other aspects of your health. Okra water may have a stabilizing effect on blood sugar and digestion.
Tips for Success:
-The key to any health challenge is consistency. Make sure to prepare your okra water each night for the next day.
– For the best results, combine the Okra Water Challenge with a balanced diet rich in vegetables, fruits, lean proteins, and whole grains.
– Continue to drink plenty of regular water throughout the day to stay well-hydrated.
