Cucumbers contain most of the vitamins, which a person need everyday. Cucumbers are a good source of B vitamins and carbohydrates.
Cucumber acts as a remedy. Eat a few cucumber slices before going to the bed and wake up refreshed and headache free.

Cucumbers are the most wonderful and natural eye pads you can find for yourself. The puffiness and the tiredness in your eyes may just leave you, if you do this in a relaxed fashion. These natural eye pads do wonders after a long days work.
If you want a happy skin, then cucumber is the answer. As cucumber and the skin share the same level of hydrogen, it becomes easier for cucumber to mask all the problem areas. It helps in soothing and softening your skin which can get you relaxed in no time.

First off, I would like to say that I like cucumber a lot and you can see my refrigerator loaded with cucumber these days especially in summer. It gives an instant relief. You can use cucumbers to pickle or to eat raw in salads. Cucumber is a fruit that came from the same family as pumpkin, zucchini and other squashes. It has a dark green rind and white succulent flesh. Today we see the cucumber as a provider of a very healthy juice beneficial for its properties as an increaser of the flow of urine and as a complement to the effects of celery and carrot juice for rheumatic conditions, while at the same time being a soothing skin lotion.
Thanks.

Cucumbers are also a negative calorie food, which means that it takes more calories for your body to break them down than there are in it. So for example if there is 10 calories in the amount of food you eat and and say it eats 20 to digest it - you have burned 10 calroies by consuming the food - which makes it a negative calorie food.
There are quite a few out there but cucumnbers are one of them.

It is a diuretic, which promote increase urine flow... meaning it flushes out more toxins in our body system.

Cucumber feels good over the eyes, it somehow relieves the stress. It tastes good in a salad. Sometimes, I put a couple of cucumber slices with cold water in a clean empty transparent spray container and use it as facial spritz when the weather is really humid and I want to feel refreshed.
