What are the benefits of cucumber??

Question

i have been eating a lot of them.

Answer 1

Cucumber is a natural diuretic, which means that it makes you urinate more.  It is popular in the fitness world with bodybuilders and people who are trying to lose weight.

Answer 2

They can keep you alive! I remember one period of my life where I was out of work for about 3 months and I lived on nothing but cucumber sandwiches. I had to steal them out of gardens at night!

Answer 3

Cucumbers are mostly water. They have little nutritional value. But I found this for you:

''Although less nutritious than most fruit and vegetables, the fresh cucumber is still a very good source of the vitamin C and the mineral molybdenum. It is also a good source of vitamin A, potassium, manganese, folate, dietary fiber and magnesium. What you may not know is that this crisp, refreshing fruit also contains compounds called sterols, which have been shown to lower cholesterol in animals. The heaviest concentration of sterols is in the skin of the cucumber, so you shouldn't remove the peel before eating. Cucumbers are a great digestive aid and have a cleansing effect on the bowel. With just a handful of calories per cup, cucumbers have always been the dieter's dream''.

I hope I helped. :D
