When it's hot or after you exercise, we might not think about cucumber juice as a drink. But cucumber juice is actually really good for us. It can do many things to make our body healthier. Let's learn why cucumber juice is important and how it can help us.
1. Keeps us Hydrated
Staying wet inside is important for our body to work right. Cucumber juice has a lot of water in it – about 95%! This helps us stay wet, especially on hot days or after us play a lot.
2. Gives us Good Stuff
Cucumber juice looks plain, but it has good things inside. Vitamins like vitamin K, vitamin C, and B vitamins are in cucumber juice. They help our bones, keep us from getting sick, and give us energy. Cucumbers also have stuff like potassium and magnesium that help our heart and blood pressure.
3. Helps us Not Get Too Big
If you're trying to not get too big, cucumber juice can help. It doesn't have many calories, and it has lots of water and fiber. This makes us not want to eat too much. The fiber also helps us go to the bathroom, which is good for our tummy.
4. Makes our Skin Nice
Cucumber juice is like magic for your skin. It has something called silica that makes your skin stretchy and stops wrinkles. Drinking cucumber juice can make our skin look good and shiny.
5. Cleans our Body
Our body works hard to get rid of bad stuff. Cucumber juice can help our body do this better. Cucumbers make us pee more and get rid of waste. This makes you feel good and fresh.
6. Helps our Body Use Good Stuff
When we eat food, our body takes good stuff from it. Cucumbers can help our body take more good stuff, like calcium for strong bones. If we drink cucumber juice with our food, our body can use the good stuff better.
7. Makes our Tummy Happy
Cucumber juice can stop tummy problems. It has lots of water and fiber that help us poop regularly. This is good for our tummy and makes us feel nice.
8. Fights Bad Things
Cucumber juice has things that fight bad stuff in our body. These things are like heroes that protect our cells. They stop bad things from hurting our body and making us sick.
9. Gives us Energy
Instead of sugary drinks that can make us crash later, try cucumber juice. It has water, vitamins, and good stuff that can give us energy without making us tired later.
