Cucumber
DIURETIC
The first and foremost use of cucumbers is as a diuretic. As such it helps
cleanse the body of its toxins and can do great things for the figure.
DIETING
It is an excellent practice to eat a good dish of
cucumbers every evening. Slice them but do not peel them; season them with
garlic and parsley, olive
oil and lemon juice and watch yourself grow slimmer.
Women troubled by cellulite will find their spongy tissues firm up wonderfully, for cucumber dissolves uric acid and superfluous fat.
FACIAL
When preparing a cucumber salad, press a little of the juice from the cucumber
and apply the liquid to your face with a wad of cotton. Skin will look dewy
and fresh, especially good in hot weather.
You will find cucumber juice or slices a soothing treatment for burns and sunburn.
