The Health Benefits of Cucumber
We’re used to seeing them in various
salads, but cucumbers can also add a wonderful flavor to drinks like the
one you’ll learn to make. The significant advantage of this vegetable
that makes it a perfect ingredient for summer smoothies is its high
water content. Cucumbers contain 95% water, so they can quench thirst
and fill your body with essential fluids to prevent dehydration.
Additionally, this beloved vegetable helps eliminate bad breath, thereby
refreshing your breath every time you consume it. If that’s not enough,
the sterols found in cucumbers help reduce levels of bad cholesterol in
the blood, thereby lowering the risk of heart and cardiovascular
diseases. This wonderful vegetable is also an excellent source of
carbohydrates and vitamin B, which provide the body with energy and
allow you to continue your day with renewed strength.
