Since ancient times, people have been looking for the elixir of youth and life without disease. I'm looking for it too 🙂 I haven't found it yet, but that doesn't mean I give up looking. Recently I came across some information that I found to be very interesting and very easy to check. Let's see what it's all about!
Scientists have found that drinking cucumber juice rejuvenates the entire human body. Cucumber is 95-97% water, but this is not ordinary tap water, but "living" water, structured by nature itself and has healing powers.
Here are some of the properties of cucumber juice that scientists are talking about:
- It cleanses the blood of toxins. This natural elixir has the ability to dissolve and remove harmful substances that have accumulated over the years in the body – the gastrointestinal tract, liver, kidneys, bladder, etc.
- The use of cucumber juice as a diuretic, unlike others, does not lead to the loss of potassium, sulfur, silicon and other microelements by the body.
- Cucumber juice restores acid-base balance, strengthens and improves hair growth.
- It also has a good effect on memory, the condition of nails and teeth.
- Cucumber juice is an excellent prevention of atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease, and normalizes blood pressure.
- With tuberculosis, cucumber juice promotes the absorption of proteins from food by the body.
- The iodine contained in this juice is almost completely absorbed by the body, which makes cucumber useful for the prevention of thyroid diseases.
- With gastritis, cucumber juice can cure heartburn. It can be caused by high acidity, and fresh cucumber will "extinguish" this fire. But it is worth remembering that during the period of exacerbation of peptic ulcer disease, no fruit and vegetable juices are prescribed – and cucumber is no exception!
- Drinking cucumber juice with honey in small portions (2-3 tablespoons) several times a day will help get rid of chronic bronchitis.
I don't know how for you, but for me there are enough reasons to prepare a glass of cucumber juice. In this regard, I have some tips on how to prepare and use this miraculous juice.
Cucumber juice can be obtained using a juicer or by squeezing a grated cucumber. For cucumber juice, you should take fresh unripe fruits. You should not cut off the peel from them: there are many useful substances in it. Drinking cucumber healing juice should be within 30 minutes from the moment of its preparation, then the juice begins to lose its beneficial properties. You can drink up to 1 liter of cucumber juice per day, but not more than 100 ml at a time.
This drink itself is practically tasteless, it has a light and pleasant smell and goes well with any other ingredients. That is why cucumber juice in a blender can be mixed not only with fruit or vegetable fresh juice, but even with yogurt. In the latter case, an amazing cocktail is obtained, which is often used in dietetics. It is quite possible to drink it at night or in the morning, for general tone.
Reading more about the properties of cucumber juice, I came across a drink recipe that caught my attention and that I want to share with you.
Tomato and cucumber juice. I love the combination of tomatoes and cucumbers in salads. In the drink, cucumber is practically not felt, but it has undoubted benefits. Usually, to make a cocktail, take 1 cucumber to 3 tomatoes, add a grated celery root, a few sprigs of dill or sweet bell pepper.
I intend to try it. But you?
Enjoy your elixir!
