6. Relieve pain

Flavonoids, which are anti-inflammatory substances, and tannins in cucumbers have both been shown to limit the release of free radicals in the body and to reduce pain.

As explained in the Journal of Young Pharmacists, “traditionally, this plant is used for headaches; the seeds are cooling and diuretic, the fruit juice is used as a nutritive and as a demulcent in anti-acne lotions.”

7. Reduce bad breath

Bad breath is usually caused by bacteria in the mouth. Fiber and water-rich vegetables like cucumbers can boost your mouth’s saliva production, which in turn helps wash away the bacteria that cause the odor in the mouth.

8. Protect your bones

Cucumber are a good source of vitamin K: One cup contains 22 percent of the recommended daily intake of vitamin K. This vitamin is essential for bone health, as low vitamin K intakes have been associated with a higher risk for bone fracture. Vitamin K is also important for improving calcium absorption in the bones.

  1. This whole cucumber ish has gotten way too much than it should..
    The Miss Anambra saga would have been dead by now if these bloggers stopd posting about it…

    We live in a generation where people scream out ur failure and whisper your accomplishments..which is very bad..she made a mistake,that doesnt mean everyone here is better than her..

    If bloggers could make the word of God and the Quaran trend like this,most of us will make heaven..

  2. I wonder why this cucumber issue is still trending. This isn’t what we need at the moment. Is it because hers leaked? We have so many of them even in this platform that use cucumber in the other room. Let sleeping dog lies please. The last time I checked, this same girl has been nominated for another award. Yes! That’s the kind of society we find ourselves.

  5. I hate all these useless posts from bloggers. Like Bobby said, If the bloggers could make the word of God this trendy, the very incidence probably wouldn’t have occurred cos every1 would’ve repented by now. This is getting too much.
    Imagine, the girl was A WHOLE MISS in her state and I didn’t even know her or hear about it but bcos of a mistake she made, the whole country/continent/world sings it like a song. No Facebook post now without mentioning cucumber. Too bad.
