Many of you know what is a Lady Finger and how it look like. Do you know the other name of Lady Finger? Yes? No? It is alright if you don't cos I am going to tell you now :-)
Lady Finger is also known as Okra. You can easily buy them from the market or any supermarket. It is easily accessible and maybe because of that, I have miss out the very valuable source of it's nutrition.

Last 2 weeks, I attended Delia's Church Wedding and I happened to be place seated together with Josie,David, Evon & Suat Ngoh. As usual, we eat and chat. I cannot remember what is the topic about but somehow or rather, we started to talk about food. It was during this time Evon began to share with me the Goodness of Lady Fingers. She asked if I did receive her email about this, I did but I was like holding that "Don't bother to read" attitude, thinking it was just another ordinary email. I told her honestly and I thank God that she wasn't unhappy with my reply but instead kindly told me, "oh..since we are here, let me tell you about it again."

She shared with us her testimony and soon...the whole table of us were all ears listening to her. You know what follow after that...all the "Wow", " REALLY!", " I GOT TO TRY IT" response were floating around the table.

Hubby and my mom began to try out and just last Monday, when my mom went for her routine check up, her blood pressure dropped from a high point of 150 to 106. A good sign!
Her sharing blessed us and so I hope to share this with you here so that you will be bless too.
Here is what you do...

1) Prepare an empty cup.
2) Take 2 Ladyfingers, Wash clean, cut both the head & tail off, leaving only the middle body.
3) Now you have got 2 pieces of middle body.
4) Further divide the middle body into 2. Now, you should have 4 smaller parts.
5) Place these 4 parts into your cup.
6) Fill it up with normal (room temperature) drinking water.
7) Make sure the water cover the entire lady fingers cos the fingers will kind of float after water is added.
8) Cover the cup & let it overnight. (It is the best to do it at night before you go to bed)
9) Drink the water the next morning when you wake up. (No need to eat the Lady Fingers, only consume the water.)

*Repeat the above steps daily.
