Cucumber Natural Beauty Treatment

When I was little I used to hate eating cucumbers.  
Now I love them and eat them as much as I can. Especially in the summer. I love cucumbers plain, pickled or in salad.  

Cucumbers are a good source of B vitamins. Just one cucumber contains Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B5, Vitamin B6, Folic Acid, Vitamin C, Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium and Zinc. Theay are also a perfect beauty treatment.
The regular intake of cucumber juice is very useful both internally and externally.
Feed your body what it needs and you can keep your strong bones and the glow of youth.

Do you like to party a lot? 
Are you prone to hangovers and headaches after a few drinks? 
Another surprising fact I learned was that Cucumbers are an amazing hangover cure. What you have to do is to eat a few cucumber slices before going to bed. It will stop you waking up with a  headache. The sugar, vitamin B and electrolytes in the cucumber will replace any vital nutrients the body may have lost. It will  keep your system balanced and prevent hangovers.
