Cucumbers to keep Cool

Summer is pretty much the best time to get out on long vacations and enjoy. But the summer heat does more damage to our skin as we enjoy our time off.

In summer our bodies lose a lot of water due to dehydration as we are constantly in some sort of activity throughout the whole day. Losing water makes our skin loose making it easy to get wrinkles and aging marks before we even hit that age.

To avoid loose skin, wrinkles and aging marks is to keep a good intake of water and fruit juices. Another little nature's gift to fight against these problems is 'Cucumber'.

Cucumber is 95% water and is a great way to stay hydrated. It can be added in salads, sandwiches, or even taken as a snack. They can be eaten throughout the whole year and not just in summers. Cucumbers are rich in copper, potassium, Vitamin B, K, C, and manganese.
