Cucumbers also regulate blood pressure, soothe bronchi, can even treat cough, one of the most important properties of cucumbers is that they improve oxygen supply.
The temperamental nature of cucumbers is best seen when they are mixed with tomatoes, which can cause bloating, cramps, digestive problems... Therefore, never mix both in the same salad. Actually, cucumbers are healthiest and most beneficial when eaten alone, without any additions.
This means that you will get the most out of cucumbers if you season them with oil and vinegar, lightly salt and add onion, which you soaked in ice-cold water for at least 20 minutes (add some ice cubes to the cold water). This way, you reduce the sharpness of the onion, as well as the smell that remains after eating such a salad.
This salad will impress you with its fresh taste, especially with its side effects. If instead of your daily lunch (which is a meal after lunch and at least 2 hours before dinner) for at least one week you eat cucumber salad (you should eat at least 200 grams of cucumbers a day), you will notice a reduction in cellulite within a few days, and the fat on your thighs and in the belly area will visibly start melting).
But if you have a glass of kefir instead of dinner, the results will be even better.
Have fun with cucumbers. It's worth it.
