Thanks to my dad's recommendation, I’ll be adding cucumber to my weekly grocery list. Not only is it a low calorie snack (only 8 calories in half a cup), it’s filled with vitamins and minerals including Folic acid, Vitamin C, Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium and Zinc. It’s also a great source of B Vitamins and Carbohydrates that can give you a great pick-me-up when you’re feeling tired. Eating a few slices before bed is said to fight off evening binging and morning headaches.
Other interesting uses for Cucumber:
- Rub a freshly cut slice on your shoes…it will provide a quick and durable shine that looks great and will repel water.
- Use it to fight bad breath by pressing a slice to the roof of your mouth for 30 seconds.
- Remove an unwanted pen or crayon mark by slowly rub the outside of the skin on it.
- Try rubbing it on your skin to reduce inflammation.
