Recently I watched a program '' The question for breakfast '. 'I like it because I often can learn many interesting things. Today cucumbers attracted my attention :)

Cucumber is a vegetable whose properties and nutritional value we should appreciate- especially in hot weather. Cucumber has almost 97 percent of water, so it will quench your thirst. At the same time it is low in calories, so it can be incorporated into a weight-loss diet people.

Cucumbers have anticancer properties. Scientists whose research results were published in "Cancer Research" are of the opinion that cucurbitacin can protect against the development of pancreatic cancer.

Cucumbers are recommended for people with bad breath and struggling with the odor of sweat(<--there are signs of excessive amounts of harmful substances in the body).

Cucumber should be included in the diet of people struggling with heartburn.

Cucumber is widely used in cosmetics. We know a lot of tonics, lotions, masks and creams with extracts of cucumber. They are especially recommended for people with oily skin and with acne.
