THE AMAZING CUCUMBER


hai friends.........

Here are some uses of cucumber that you probably did not know of:

1. Feeling tired in the afternoon, put down the soda and pick up a cucumber it keeps cool. Cucumber is a good source of B vitamins and carbohydrates that can provide that quick pick-me-up that can last for hours.
2. Tired of your bathroom mirror fogging up after a shower? Try rubbing a cucumber slice along the mirror, it will eliminate the fog and provide a soothing.
3. Are grubs and slugs running your flower beds? Place a few slices in an aluminum foil and your garden will be free of pests all season long.
4. Looking for a fast and easy way to remove cellulite before going out or to the pool? Try rubbing a slice or two of cucumber along your problem area for a few minutes.
5. Want to avoid a hangover or terrible headache? Eat few cucumbers slices before going to bed and you will be re-freshed.
6. Looking to fight off that afternoon or evening snacking binge? Cucumbers have been used for centuries and often used for quick meals to thwart off starvation.
7. Have an important meeting or job interview and you realize that you don’t have enough time to polish your shoes? Rub a freshly cut cucumber over the shoe.
8. Looking for a green way to clean your sinks or stainless steel? Take a slice of cucumber and rub it on the surface you want to clean.
9. Using a pen and made a mistake? Take the outside of cucumber and slowly use it to erase the pen writing. Also works great on crayons and markers that the kids have used to decorate the walls.
10. Just finished a business lunch and realize you do not have gum or mints? Take a slice of cucumber and press it to the roof of your mouth with your tongue for thirty seconds to eliminate bad breath.
