Cucumbers are one of my favorite veggies because they contain little sugar and are very good for the body. Here are some of their wonderful qualities:
1. Beauty and Aesthetics:
Cucumber is used to prepare a lot of the face cleansers and creams which we use because it is very good for the skin. Cucumbers are readily available and you may apply the juice on the face to clear pimples etc just like a face cleanser. Or you may mix the juice with your cream for some cucumber effects.
2. Great for the stomach
Cucumbers help to soothe the stomach. For example if you are feeling bloated or feeling some stomach upset, a little cucumber could soothe and relieve your tummy.
3. Healthy snack
Instead of munching on sugar laden, fattening snacks, why not go for some healthier snacks that will make you feel healthier, trimmer and stronger.
4. For Trimmer body
Cucumbers when eaten will fill your tummy up so you won’t need to eat the in between meals that could make you fat. So they are great for a person who is watching their weight.
5. Acts as roughage.
The body needs a lot of fiber and roughage for good bowel movement .
Cucumber is a good source of fiber and roughage.
6. Cucumbers in drinks.
Cucumbers are healthy and good for the body. They are put in drinks like Chap man for a fun, healthy and natural flavour.
7. Cucumbers for puffy eyes.
Cucumbers may be placed on the eyes as part of a beauty treatment and can also be used to reduce puffiness of the eyes.
Or relieve irritations in the eye.
So whether you are interested in its aesthetic effects or the natural health qualities of the cucumber, the cucumber vegetable is a wonderful vegetable .
