Have you ever shopped for fruits and intentionally ignored the cucumber section probably because it's not as sweet as other fruits? Then, you'll have a rethink after going through this list. I'll be brief and straight to the point.
1. Cooling Effects: Just like the saying, "as cool as a cucumber," Cucumber serves as a coolant to the body. It helps regulate the body temperature when eaten. Research shows that Cucumber has high alkaline levels which helps in regulating the body's blood pH as well as neutralizes acidity .
2. Reduces Puffiness: Have you been crying or studying that your eyes are so puffy? No need for those dark shades. Just a little slice of cucumber placed on the eyes will make the puffiness disappear. Facial treatment experts make use of Cucumber a lot in this regard.
3. Pest Control: Yes, this surprised me too. But the truth is, Cucumbers are natural insect repellants. Are you being constantly plagued by pests in your house or garden? Be they cockroaches, flies, moths, bugs, ants, etc? Placinh slices of cucumber at strategic places will drive them away, as pests detest cucumber. But be sure to change the slices regularly.
3. Removes Eye Bags: Placing a slice of cucumber under your eyes removes eye bags. This is so because cucumbers release substances that tighten the lose skin around your eyes.
4. Removes Ink and Crayon Stains: Those drawings your child do on the walls of the sitting room can be erased by merely rubbing the green back of a cucumber on the stains.
5. Eating Cucumber helps in hydrating your body, keeping you fresh and wrinkle-free. It also clears pimples and acnes.
So my dears, why not shop for cucumbers today?
