Water: The high water content in cucumbers helps flush out toxins and also helps hydrate skin and reduces puffiness and inflammation. Vitamin C and caffeic acid: These two nutrients — also found in abundance in zucchini and pumpkin — are thought to thwart water retention and soothe inflamed, irritated skin. Magnesium, potassium, and fiber: You’ll want to keep the peels on your cucumbers to get these nutrients, which may help lower blood pressure. And that’s good for your appearance, because high blood pressure can push fluid out of the blood and into other tissues, like your skin, leaving you with a puffy, inflamed face. The benefits of cucumber juice can also be found in the nails, hair and skin. Many women have tried or heard of the beauty regimen that involves applying cucumber slices to the eyes in order to reduce puffiness. The astringent properties that are found in cucumbers will draw out dirt, cleansing the pores. Cucumber is actually a popular ingredient in acne skincare products.
A cucumber also contains silica. Silica is a trace mineral which contributes to the strengthening of the body’s connective tissues. This will result in stronger nails and hair.
Silica: Also found in the peel, silica makes up an important part of connective tissue and can help tighten and firm loose, sagging skin.
You can enjoy the benefits of cucumber by applying the juice on your skin or by consuming twelve ounces of it on a daily basis.
Cucumbers contain a large amount of water, which is why they are an excellent food choice when it comes to cleansing the system of toxins. Toxins in the body are often stored in the fat cells and can cause inflammation. Aside from the water content, this veggie can also supply electrolytes that can help to restore hydration of the body’s cells as well as balance the fluid levels in the body. This is why cucumbers are often an essential part of weight loss detox programs.
The benefits of this juice also include aiding in the reduction of the inflammation that causes arthritis. Because cucumbers are so gentle on the digestive tract, they can be consumed several times a day, with no side effects.
