Pick a handful of firm, dark green cucumbers and pop them into your shopping basket.

Congratulations! You have just bought yourself a fruit (yes, the cool cuke is fruit, not a vegetable) full of good health!

Here is a short list of the impressive health benefits that a cucumber carries:

- **Keeps you hydrated.**If you are too busy to drink enough water, munch on the cool cucumber, which is 96 percent water. It will cheerfully compensate!
- **Fights heat, both inside and out.** Eat cucumber, and your body gets relief from heartburn. Apply cucumber on your skin, and you get relief from sunburn.
- **Flushes out toxins.**All that water in cucumber acts as a virtual broom, sweeping waste products out of your system. With regular use, cucumber is known to dissolve kidney stones.
- **Lavishes you with vitamins.** A B and C, which boost immunity, give you energy, and keep you radiant. Give it more power by juicing cucumber with carrot and spinach.
- **Supplies skin-friendly minerals: magnesium, potassium, silicon.**That’s why cucumber-based treatments abound in spas.
- **Aids in weight loss.**Enjoy cucumbers in your salads and soups. My favorite snack? Crunchy cucumber sticks with creamy low-fat yogurt dip.
- **Revives the eyes.** Placing chilled slices of cucumber on the eyes is a clichéd beauty visual, but it really helps reduce under-eye bags and puffiness.
- **Cuts cancer.** Cut down your risk of several cancers by including cucumber in your diet. [Several studies](http://www.lynneshealth.com/resources/Cancer/3%5Fnutition%20effects%20on%20cancer.pdf?ref=blog.nestict.com)show its cancer-fighting potential.
- **Stabilizes blood pressure.** Patients of blood pressure, both high and low, often find that eating cucumber brings relief.
- **Refreshes the mouth.** Cucumber juice refreshes and heals diseased gums, leaving your mouth smelling good.
- **Helps digestion.** Chewing cucumber gives the jaws a good workout, and the fiber in it is great for digestion.
- **Smooths hair and nails.**Silica, the wonder mineral in cucumber makes your hair and nails stronger and shinier.
- **Soothes muscle and joint pain.** All those vitamins and minerals in cucumber make it a powerful enemy of muscle and joint pain.
- **Keeps kidneys in shape.** Cucumber lowers uric acid levels in your system, keeping the kidneys happy.
- **Good for diabetics.** Patients of diabetes can enjoy cucumber while also reaping its health benefits: cucumber contains a hormone needed by the cells of the pancreas for producing insulin.
- **Reduces cholesterol.**A compound called sterols in cucumber helps reduce bad cholesterol.
