Cucumbers are 95 percent water, keeping the body hydrated while helping the body eliminate

 toxins. Cucumbers have 

most of the vitamins the body needs in a single day. Don't forget to leave the skin on because 

the skin contains a good 

amount of vitamin C, about 10 percent of the daily-recommended allowance.

. Skin and hair care -


 If you don't like to eat the skin, it can be used for skin irritations and sunburns as aloe would be 

used.

 Place a slice over

 puffy eyes and its anti-inflammatory properties help reduce puffiness. The silicon and sulfur in 

cucumbers help to stimulate hair growth.

. Fight cancers -

 Cucumber are known to contain lariciresinol, pinoresinol, and secoisolariciresinol. These 

lignans have a strong history of research in connection with reduced risk of several cancer 

types, including breast 

cancer, ovarian cancer, uterine cancer and prostate cancer.

Quick pick me-up - 



Cucumbers are a good source of B vitamins. Put down your sodas and coffee and eat a 

cucumber slice.

Cures    diabetes, reduces cholesterol and controls   

blood pressure - 

cucumber juice contains

a hormone which is needed by the cells of the pancreas for 

producing insulin which has been found to be beneficial to 

diabetic patients. Researchers found that a compound called

 sterols in cucumbers may help reduce cholesterol levels. 

Cucumbers contain a lot of potassium, magnesium and 

fiber. These work effectively for regulating blood pressure. 

This makes cucumbers good for treating both low blood 

pressure and high blood pressure.
