Cool Cucumbers

Aside from its internal uses, cucumber can help control constipation, stomach disorders, arthritis, cholera, and acne. The high water content, combined with its ability to balance acid, helps to reduce disorders and ailments that may be a cause of overproduction of various acidic compounds.
Juicing a cucumber is, perhaps, the best way to consume it for maximum nutritional benefit. Juicing helps to preserve all minerals, natural-occurring vitamins, and nutrition value; cucumber juice can be combined with other vegetables such as carrot and beets for a detoxifying drink or smoothie.
Not to mention, its coolness effect.. slice it and place it on your eyes!!
