Yes, I am referring to the vegetable and am not using cucumber as a metaphor.
The cucumber is a virtual cornucopia of benefits waiting to be had, allow me to go over several of them for you consideration.
Eating a cucumber each day provides an incredible boost of what your normal daily vitamin intake ought to be.
Folic acid, B1, 2, 3, 5, 6, iron and calcium are just a handful of the nutrients that are provided in this fine veggie.
Now go ahead and consume a cucumber when you start feeling lethargic.
Couple it with a glass of water and let your body feel refreshed the natural way thanks to the plethora of vitamins your body will intake.
Having a cucumber for a snack instead of a cookie or chips is also a great way to reduce your waistline.
Due to the minimal fat involved in this munchie your body will naturally lose the paunch.
Would you believe that a slice of cucumber held to the roof of your mouth will eliminate bad breath and give you a fresh feeling that lasts for hours in your mouth? Try it, if not for yourself than for the people you share close quarters with.
Cleaning just became green thanks to the power of the cuke.
Produce a great shine all over by scrubbing with a cucumber and do away with all of the harmful chemicals.
And hey, would you not feel better with the toddlers getting a hold of a cucumber as opposed to your corrosive cleaning product? No more squeaky hinges as the usage of a cucumber goes a long way.
By rubbing it over the infected hinge you will eliminate the squeak and produce that smooth operation that you once knew.
It is proven that steamed cucumbers can relieve stress and anxiety so give yourself a cucumber steaming and make your own spa.
Cucumbers on the eyelids and the aroma of steamed cukes can put a smile back on your face.
These are just a handful of the many amazing, helpful and bizarre uses of our friend, the cucumber.
