Cucumber Lemonade Juice is your thirst quencher to beat the summer heat.
Why cucumber is healthy?
“Cucumbers are extremely beneficial for overall health, especially during the summer or dry season since it is mostly made of water and important nutrients that are essential for the human body.
The flesh of cucumbers is rich in vitamin A, vitamin C, and folic acid while the hard skin of cucumbers is rich in fiber and a range of minerals include magnesium, molybdenum, and potassium.
Additionally, cucumber contains silica, a trace mineral that contributes greatly to strengthening our connective tissues.
Cucumbers are known to heal many skin problems, under eye swelling and sunburn. Cucumbers also contain ascorbic and Caffeic acids which prevent water loss, therefore cucumber is frequently applied topically to burns and dermatitis.” – Health Digest
