HealthRe: 15 Health Benefits Of Cucumber by 2pence(op): 10:34pm On May 13, 2013
[quote author=Xb4Real]Wat abt me dat eat it raw wit groundnuts sumtyms? Is it gud or harmful to my health @OP
Some more tips that might help:

Cucumber and tomatoes cannot be eaten together

Cucumber contains a vitamin C enzyme, which will destroy the vitamin C in the other vegetables. The more vitamin C content the food has, the more severe the damage level caused by decomposing enzyme in cucumber. The tomato is a model of vegetables rich in vitamin C. If they are eaten together, the vitamin C we get from tomatoes will then be destructed by enzymes in cucumber, thus basically being not able to have the effects of supplementing nutrients.

Cucumber cannot be eaten together with peanuts

This cold dish can be found in many families and restaurants. The combination of cucumbersand peanuts, however, is very unscientific. Cucumber is cold in nature and sweet in taste, commonly eaten raw by people; while peanut contains more oil. Generally speaking, if cold food and grease encounter, it will increase its sliding profits, thus causing diarrhea. So they should not be eaten together. Especially for friends with not very good gastrointestinal function, it is best not to eat together. Even if you eat them together, the amount should not be too much.

Do not throw away the “cucumber head”

The tail part of the cucumber contains more bitter elements, so do not do not throw away the “cucumber head”. The bitter element has a unique effect for gastrointestinal inflammation. It can stimulate the secretion of digestive juices and produce large amounts of digestive enzymes, thus making a good appetite. Bitter elements are beneficial to the stomach, increasing gastrointestinal power and helping digestion. Besides, it can prevent the flu.

Should not add alkali or cook with high temperature to eat

Dietary alkali is not a commonly used spice. It’s just a food bulking agent and meat tenderizer. Cooking cucumber does not need using alkali. In addition, it is inappropriate to heat cucumber with high temperature. Heating with high temperature will make the taste become bad and simultaneously will reduce the nutritional value of the cucumber.
Health15 Health Benefits Of Cucumber by 2pence(op): 9:15pm On May 12, 2013
Cucumber is often regarded as a healthy food because it is low in calories and fat. Cucumber also contains many vitamins and minerals that make them a healthy choice for cooking and snacking. Here are 15 health benefits of cucumber:

Facial masks containing cucumber juice can be used for skin tightening. Ascorbic acid and caffeic acid present in cucumbers can bring down the water retention rate which in turn diminishes the puffiness and swelling under the eyes. Cucumber skin also can bring relief to the skin caused by sunburn or windburn.

3.Fight cancers
Cucumber are known to contain lariciresinol, pinoresinol, and secoisolariciresinol – three lignans that have a strong history of research in connection with reduced risk of several cancer types, including breast cancer, prostate cancer, uterine cancer, and ovarian cancer.

Cucumber juice contains a lot of potassium, magnesium and fiber that work effectively for regulating blood pressure. This makes cucumber good for treating both low blood pressure and high blood pressure.

5.Beneficial for teeth and gums
Cucumber juice is also beneficial for people with teeth and gums problems, especially in cases of pyorrhea. Cucumber is a good source of dietary fiber and this fiber massage in the teeth and gums.

6.Aid digestion
Digestive disorders like acidity, heartburn, gastritis and even ulcers can be cured by the daily consumption of fresh cucumber juice. The high water content and dietary fiber in cucumber are very effective in driving away the toxins from the digestive system and hence aid digestion. Daily consumption of cucumbers can be regarded as a remedy for chronic constipation.

7.Promotes Joint health
Cucumber is an excellent source of silica, which known to help promotes joint health by strengthening the connective tissues.

8.Treat tapeworms
Cucumber seeds are used as a natural remedy for treating tapeworms. Bruised cucumber seeds mixed with water are also effective in the treatment of swellings of the mucous membranes of the nose and the throat.

9.Nail care
The high silica content of cucumber also helps to prevent splitting and spoiling of nails of the fingers and toes.

10.Relieve gout and arthritis pain
Cucumber is rich in vitamin A, B1, B6, C & D, Folate, Calcium, Magnesium, and Potassium, when mixed with carrot juice, they can relieve gout and arthritis pain by lowering the uric acid levels.

11.Cures diabetes
The cucumber juice has been found to be beneficial for the diabetic patients. This vegetable contains a hormone needed by the cells of the pancreas for producing insulin.

12.Reduces cholesterol
Researchers found that some compound called sterols in cucumber may help reduce cholesterol levels.

13.Stimulate hair growth
Cucumber contains silicon and sulphur and thus a regular intake of cucumber can help promote healthy hair growth. For best results, mix cucumber juice with the juices of carrot, lettuce or spinach.

14.Acts as a diuretic
The water content of Cucumber acts as a diuretic. It encourages the elimination of waste products from the body through urination. Regular intake of cucumber helps to dissolve bladder or kidney stones.

15.Aid in weight loss

When buying cucumbers, choose the ones that are firm to touch and dark green in color. Do not buy overly matured or yellow colored as they are prone to contain more insoluble fiber and mature seeds. Go for organically grown cucumbers to get a rich taste and nutritients content.

ayox2003: *sighs*

This is where I hate you- death.

Death, if you could kill Chime, Azazi and Yakowa on the same day, what is Ibori, IBB, Lucky Igbinedion, Uba, Alameiseghia, Bode George, Gbenga Daniel, Farook Lawan, OBJ, Dariye and others still doing on earth? Ehn?

All these names have killed millions of people indirectly by stacking billions meant for the masses into their personal accounts.

Maybe you are saving the best for the last. Please this time next year, let them be gone. Why? Because the carcass of those children who have died of hunger is begging for revenge, the blood of those who have died on bad roads is clamouring for justice, the souls of those who have been killed by randy policemen cos of N20 is hankering for revenge, the spirit of those mothers who died during child-birth cos of the poor state of our hospitals is crying out loud for justice (while the politicians go abroad for medical attention), the family of those who died from carbon mono-oxide emitted from generators are in sorrow.

Death, you got have enough reasons to act!

Just do the Ghana thing and let's have peace.
