Why more physicians should take a holistic approach

The interpretation of "holistic" is looking at the whole rather than the individual parts, emphasizing that things are interconnected and can be understood only by considering their relationships to everything else. Therefore, a holistic approach to health would be considering a person's physical, mental, and emotional factors, not just the symptoms of their condition.

A holistic care approach emphasizes building a deeper connection with an individual; this helps provide a more complete picture of their health needs. In turn, fosters trust and respect, making the person feel more confident and engaged in their own care. Considering these factors, more physicians should adopt this approach when caring for their patients, as it addresses the root causes of their health complaints and encourages preventive, lifestyle-based changes that promote long-term wellness, thereby leading to better patient outcomes, improved patient satisfaction, and reduced healthcare costs. For example, a holistic approach to a headache complaint may involve examining a person's diet, stress levels, and sleep patterns, rather than focusing solely on the symptoms.

Holistic approaches aren't meant to replace traditional medical practices. Instead, they are protocols that complement it by combining the strengths of conventional treatments with the preventive and personalized focus of root-cause care. Therefore, during routing consultations, a physician may assess their patients' lifestyle habits alongside medical histories. By reviewing medication regimens, they may identify opportunities to combine holistic interventions with lifestyle changes, thereby integrating nutritional screenings and counseling into their patients' regular visits and recommending achievable, personalized physical activity goals to encourage consistency.

Advocates of holistic care stress that as holistic approach practices become more mainstream, the healthcare system needs to become more integrated. Doctor Mitchell Ghen, a Florida-based holistic health doctor, said in an article by RealClear on health, "People are waking up to the idea that health isn't just about treating symptoms, it's about understanding the body as a whole, addressing the underlying issues, and living a better, longer life." With that in mind, this approach is about enhancing care, therefore taking healthcare to the next level.

Okra water improves markers of diabetes

Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) is also known in many English-speaking countries as lady's fingers. A flowering plant in the mallow family (Malvaceae) that is native to East Africa, which has been used for thousands of years as a medicinal plant. Today, generally, okra is a high-value, multipurpose crop due to the varied uses of its leaves, buds, flowers, pods, stems, and seeds. Hence, its compounds — flavonoids, polysaccharides, and vitamins — play a significant role globally, particularly in the management and treatment of various chronic diseases due to their considerable biological activities.

Drinking okra water has become a social media trend due to its various health claims, indicating it has a positive effect on the body for women and men. Okra water is believed to boost reproductive health, improve skin appearance, support weight management, improve digestion, support immune function, support gut health, support bone health, support liver health, and support overall energy levels.

Many studies have shown that okra has properties that improve markers of diabetes. Tyagita et al.'s (2019) study demonstrated that okra infusion water (OIW) contains polysaccharides and viscous fiber that delay gastric emptying and help control glucose and HbA1C levels. Zuniawati's (2021) study determined that regularly drinking water infused with okra can help keep blood sugar levels normal in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Adjacent to the okra water. The present study by Tavakolizadeh et al. (2023) demonstrated that okra pod capsules (1000 mg, taken three times daily for 3 months) improve lipid profile, glycemic control, and chronic inflammation in type 2 diabetic patients without any adverse effects.

Okra Water

Okra water is either spring or distilled water infused with okra. Slice the okra pods, place them in a jar of water, and soak them overnight. Then strain out the okra and drink the water.

Considerations

Individuals who should not drink okra water include those with a history of kidney stones, a sensitive digestive system, or IBS, and people taking medication such as blood-thinners like warfarin. If you have diabetes, consult with your doctor as drinking okra water may interact with your medication or affect blood sugar levels.
