Cucumber water can help soothe your skin from the inside out. Staying hydrated helps your body to flush out toxins and maintain a healthy complexion.

Cucumbers are also high in pantothenic acid or vitamin B-5, which has been used to treat acne.

WHAT’S CUCUMBER WATER?

Cucumber water is water that has been infused or blended with the flavor of fresh cucumber and other healthy ingredients. It is like a refreshing agua fresca so popular in Mexico!

You may call it whatever you want: infused water, flavored water, detox water, spa water, weight loss water, detox water for weight loss, and so on.

There is more than one way to make it: 

By soaking cucumber slices in fresh water with other added ingredients such as lemon and mint. As it steeps in the fridge, the cucumber flavor gets stronger;

By blending cucumber and water with other ingredients in a blender (our preferred way).

There are no hard and fast rules when it comes to making cucumber water or any other detox drinks for weight loss!

Just choose your ingredients and create variations with them such as cucumber lemon water, cucumber lemon mint water, lemon mint water, and so on!

I prefer to use low calorie, anti-inflammatory ingredients (cucumber, lemon, ginger, cayenne, turmeric, mint, berries, and green leafy veggies), and detox ingredients (citric fruits such as lemon, lime, orange, and grapefruit) to make detox water for weight loss.

It boosts bone health.

One cup of sliced cucumbers has about 19 % of the recommended daily value. Your body needs vitamin K to help form proteins that are needed to make healthy bones and tissues as well as to help your blood clot properly.

What better way to get this vitamin than through refreshing cucumber water?

Your body can’t function properly without water. Most people should aim to drink six to eight glasses of water per day. We know we’re supposed to drink water throughout the day, but sometimes plain water gets boring. Adding cucumber gives it some extra flavor, encouraging you to drink more.

If you are thinking or are already trying to lose weight, you must change your drinking habit.

Replacing sugary sodas and soft drinks like Coca-Cola and Pepsi with cucumber water can quickly help you cut extra calories to lose weight.

Cucumber water is low in calories and fiber, making it an excellent combination for your diet during weight loss.

An average size cucumber contains only 45 calories with skin and 34 without skin.

And again, if you make the beverage with the entire cucumber, it would still cover less than 50 calories. Cucumber water will fill you up and aid you to feel more satisfied.

Did you ever notice?

Sometimes we feel hungry when we’re just thirsty. This is because your body gets confused between the feeling of thirst and hunger.

To solve this problem, drink a tall glass of cucumber water. After drinking, if you don’t feel hungry, then you are thirsty.

This way, cucumber water removes your hunger and keeps you from taking extra calories.

Thank you …Antioxidants may be able to reverse or stop this damage. This is why you should each fruits and vegetables high in antioxidants. Cucumbers  fall into this category. They’re rich in:

Vitamin C

Beta carotene

Manganese

Molybdenum

Several flavonoid antioxidants

Some early research suggests that cucumbers may help in the fight against cancer.

Along with antioxidants, cucumbers also have compounds called cucurbitaceous and a group of nutrients called lignants, which may have a role in protecting us from cancer.

One study in suggested that the dietary flavonoid fisetin, which is found in cucumbers, might help to slow the progression of prostate cancer.

One contributing factor to high blood pressure is having too much salt (sodium) and too little potassium in your diet.

The excess salt causes your body to hold fluids, which raises blood pressure. Potassium is an electrolyte that helps regulate the amount of sodium retained by the kidneys.

Cucumbers are a good source of potassium. Drinking cucumber water helps your body get more potassium, potentially helping to lower your blood pressure.

Do you want to add a word or two?….

Refreshing cucumber drinks will help you feel as cool as a, well … you know. Whether you’re in the mood for a cocktail (try this Summertime Mule or this ), a cocktail (people of all ages will love this Virgin Cucumber Mojito and this Cucumber Punch), or a fresh and healthy sipper and this Cucumber Pear Smoothie is deliciously nutritious), you’re sure to find a new favorite in this collection of our best cucumber drinks.

The best time to drink cucumber juice is an hour or two before bed. Drinking cucumber juice then provides your body with many health benefits and can help you sleep more soundly throughout the night. It can also provide antioxidants and vitamins to help you feel refreshed in the morning.
