Filled with tons of vitamins, cucumbers are one of the most versatile veggies out there.
- Adding sliced cucumbers to ice water provides a refreshing alternative to soda, without the bloat caused from extra sodium and sugar. Sipping on this can help guarantee you get your eight daily glasses.
- Contains vitamins A, B, C; potassium, iron, & calcium.
- Cucumber water is a natural diuretic. Drinking a glass a day fights against water retention, which can help you to shed those few extra pounds when you’ve reached a plateau.
- The silica and antioxidants found in this veggie can keep your skin stay clear and supple, while a few slices on your face can help reduce puffiness.
- If you’re feeling low come mid-afternoon, the vitamin B & healthy carbohydrates found in cucumbers can boost your energy up the same way your coffee or soda can.
Cut up a cucumber into small chunks, cover in the amount of water you want to drink and let it soak in the fridge overnight. In the morning, strain the mixture and discard the cukes.
