Cucumbers, even pickled ones, have many benefits and useful properties for our health. It's true that pickled cucumbers contain a lot of salt, but it's primarily the vinegar in which the pickles float that is full of minerals and other nutrients. In certain cases, there are even more minerals in the juice than in the cucumbers themselves!

What's the deal?

Many athletes, especially cyclists and runners, are familiar with muscle cramps. Especially professionals who prefer not to use expensive dietary supplements choose to drink pickled cucumber juice. The effect is immediate, although the cramps don't completely disappear. They just become more bearable, and health remains a top priority.

The brine of pickled cucumbers effectively prevents dehydration. Just drink 50 to 60 ml one hour before exercising, and the body's hydration will be maintained. This has been proven to reduce epileptic seizures, and there is also a lower risk of injury when the body is well hydrated.

Many also drink cucumber brine to alleviate a hangover after a night of excess drinking. The fact is that alcohol depletes the body of a lot of salts and electrolytes, all of which are contained in cucumber brine. Just make sure to drink plenty of water alongside the brine.

Cucumber brine can also help get rid of hiccups. Just take a sip or two, and you will be relieved of this nuisance.

The brine also alleviates menstrual cramps and soothes discomfort during PMS.

Of course, we must mention that just taking a sip of this juice every morning will make you feel rejuvenated after one week. Remember that this is one of the most nutritious juices among all pickled vegetables.
