Cucumbers

     This is one of my favorite vegetables. I have grown it many times in the past and currently am growing another vine. I never realized what benefits it had to an individual. Who would know that a simple veggie could be so good for you. Before I only used them in chunks in my salads. Now I cut up slices and eat them as a snack. Luckily for me, I don't have any of the medical issues listed above, but that may be because I have always loved them. My hubby never liked cucumbers until we started growing them ourselves. Something about a fresh veggie that is just amazing. Now he is a lover too. There are other benefits besides what is listed here. I have heard that cucumbers are great for tired eyes, ya know the whole slice of cucumber on your eyes bit. Yep it really works. It regenerates your skin, while hydrating it. I love to put a slice of it in my tea. It gives it such a refreshing taste. Cucumber has become part of our daily diet. I just got a juicer for Christmas and I can't wait to see what I can get out of a fresh cucumber. I bet it's going to taste great, plus it will be 100% nutritious. If you have any of the ailments listed above, take time to eat a cucumber. In fact, add it to your diet. You will be happy with the results, I know I am. Have a healthy day!
