Not only are cucumbers refreshing and tasty, they provide beneficial hydrating properties. Cucumbers consist mostly of water and contains important electrolytes (including potassium) along with other vitamin and minerals like Vitamin K, B1, B5, B7, magnesium, sodium, phosphorus, silica, and calcium.
I consider cucumbers as a superfood as they may not only help prevent dehydration, they are also a natural diuretic, which helps the body pass toxins through urine.
Plus, cucumbers are an alkaline food known for other health benefits such as:
Lowering blood pressure
Improving digestive health
Lowering blood sugar
Protecting nerve cells
Improving memory
Decreasing the risk of Alzheimer’s
Reducing redness and blemishes.
