5. Cucumber peel: In most cases, cucumber peels are thrown away as we consider that the juicy part is rich in antioxidants and nutrients. However these peels are high in fibre and low in calories, which in turn aid in weight loss and prevent constipation. Apart from this, cucumber peel is loaded with beta-carotene, a type of vitamin A and Vitamin K, which improves bone health, prevents blood clots and improves vision.

6. Apple peel: Although eating an apple protects you from a wide range of infections, consuming its peel has no less health benefits. The peel contains flavonoids, a chemical present in apples that can help destroy cancer cells and also boost your immune system. One of the interesting facts about apple peel is that it is rich in ursolic acid, which reduces obesity and its associated health complications due to its calorie-burning property.

7. Lemon peel: Lemon peels are packed with beauty benefits. They act as a natural moisturiser and cleanser for the skin. These peels also aid in weight loss, prevent oral problems such as scurvy and gingivitis and improve bone health. They also contain salvestrol Q40 and limonene, cancer-fighting compounds and antioxidants that eliminate toxins and relieve stress.
