A Post About......Cucumbers?

Today's post is a little different because I am going to tell you how eating cucumbers can be beneficial to your overall health! I think I'm going to start doing occasional posts about the benefits of certain foods.  :)

First of all, cucumbers are a great source of Vitamin B, which is a metabolism-boosting vitamin that also helps prevent heart disease and cancer. If you leave the skin on, cucumbers are also a great source of Vitamin C (click here to learn more about Vitamin C). There is also silicon and sulfur in cucumbers, which will help stimulate hair growth. The phytochemicals in cucumbers will help fight bad breath. Cucumbers are also very effective when it comes to ridding the body of toxins from the digestive system, thanks to their high water and dietary fiber content. Cucumbers are often used to cure joint pain, regulate blood pressure, and reduce cholesterol. Probably the most well known benefit of eating cucumbers is that they help clean your liver! Those are just a few benefits of eating cucumbers; there are so many more, but I will end it there so I don't bore you!
I recommend adding fresh cucumber slices to your water bottle. Carry it around & drink it all day. When you drink all the water, simply refill it & use the same cucumber slices you were using before. At the end of the day, go ahead and eat the cucumber slices :) This will make one cucumber go much further than it normally would.
