Ignorance of the "Health benefits" of cucumber is what make you
hate what could have kept your doctors very faraway from you...
Do you know spicing up your 8 water glasses per day with a slice
or two of cucumber. It's wonderfully refreshing, but there are
amazing benefits to cucumber as well. Cucumbers are cooler
than you think ...
Let me give you 16 benefits of cucumber
1. Fat busting: Do you ever wonder why women put cucumbers
on their eyes to relieve puffiness? The photochemical in
cucumbers makes the collagen in your skin tighten, thus the lack
of puffiness. Did you know that you can rub a cucumber on a problematic spot of cellulite anywhere on your body to lessen the visibility of it? Did you also know that it has the same effect on wrinkles? Wow, it makes purchasing those fifty dollar creams
seem a little silly, doesn’t it? You can also rub a little bit under
your kiddo’s eyes after a long bout of crying to avoid that puffy ‘I
cried for an hour straight’ look.
2. Defogger: Do you get annoyed when you get out of the shower
and you have to fight the fog on the mirror? Who has time for
that when the kids will be awake at any moment? Try rubbing a
slice of cucumber on the mirror before you hop in and not only
will you get a fog-free mirror, but you’ll have a nice smell that will
boost your mood.
3. Headaches: If you suffer from headaches from chasing your
babies all day (or pets or your husband), or had a little too much
wine with dinner and want to avoid a hangover, eat half of a
cucumber before bed. Cucumbers are high in B vitamins, sugar,
and electrolytes, and they replenish the nutrients missing in your
body to help you avoid a hang over or to beat that headache
that’s been threatening to take over.
4. WD-40 replacement: Did you know you can get rid of a squeak
by rubbing a cucumber on the hinge? Wow, now you don’t have
to tear your garage apart looking for that little can with the red
straw, and the baby won’t wake up when you slowly open the
nursery door to check on him.
5. Crayon on the walls: Take an unpeeled cucumber and rub the
crayon off of the walls in the event that your kiddo left you some
art. You can also use this technique to erase a pen mistake.
6. Halitosis killer: Take a slice of cucumber and put it on the roof
of your mouth. Hold it there with your tongue for 30 seconds.
The photochemical that you love for cellulite and puff reduction
will also kill the bacteria that is causing your bad breath.
7. Tarnish remover: If you’re finding tarnish on your stainless steel
kitchen faucets and appliances? Rub it off with a cucumber slice.
Not only will it remove years of tarnish, it will leave it streak free
and your hands will thank you, and your kids won’t be put at risk
from a dangerous chemical.
8. Energy booster: If you’re feeling tired in the afternoon, don’t
give Starbucks your five bucks. Instead, grab a cucumber. There
are just enough carbohydrates and B vitamins to give you a
longer-lasting and healthier boost of energy than soda, coffee, or
those health hazard energy drinks.
9. Munchy madness: Did you know that European trappers ate
cucumbers for energy and to keep from starving to death? If
those big burly manly men can eat a cucumber to keep from
starving, you can eat one as a healthy choice when the munchies
hit. Slice some up and take them in a small plastic container to
the movies if your theater doesn’t offer healthy alternatives to
munching on butter soaked popcorn.
10. Frugal facial: Slice up a cucumber and boil it in a pot of
water. The chemicals inside of the cucumber will mix with the
steam. Remove the pot from heat and lean over it, letting the
steam hit you. Your skin will be more radiant and healthy, and you will feel relaxed and rejuvenated.
11. Shoe polish: Cut a slice off of your cucumber and rub it on
your shoe. It will not only shine it up, but it will repel water.
12. Pest control: Put three or four slices of cucumber in a small
pie tin and place them in your garden. The chemicals in the
cucumber have a reaction that pests hate. You won’t smell it, but
it will drive them from your garden all year long. Replace them
periodically.
13. Sunburn: Sometimes sun block doesn’t always protect your
little ones from sunburn. If you have burnt little kiddos you don’t
have any aloe, rub some cucumber on them. Many doctors even
use cucumber to treat patients with irritated skin and sunburns.
14. Blood pressure: Cucumber has been long used to treat high
blood pressure. If you have it, add cucumbers to your daily diet.
There is also ongoing research into the use of cucumbers for
lowering cholesterol.
15. Constipation remedy: The seeds of a cucumber are a
diuretic. If you’re constipated, try eating a cucumber. If you suffer
from chronic constipation, add cucumber to your daily diet
16. Lastly before I forget. Cucumber can be very helpful for
women that their husbands stuffs are very small, lazy or very
weak or he was not readily available to perform his duty..
