Defy Age Naturally

Today I went to one of my favourite cafes in Brighton called Iydea with Christopher and randomly bumped into our cool Shamanic friends. I ordered a fresh cucumber celery and apple juice which was near divinity. I have recently heard and read a lot about the benefits of cucumber juice, so I decided that today would be an excellent day to investigate them further in celebration of my morning juice.

My initial interest in natural health care was a result of acne and horrible skin. I spent many years slowly but surely sorting out my skin. From food intolerances (mainly dairy) to switching to totally natural and organic beauty products, zinc deficiency to hormone issues, I have seriously worked on my skin. These days I get the very occasional spot and am very happy with my skin.

In addition to everything else I have done, I think that my lifelong love of cucumbers has probably had an incredibly positive effect on my skin. Cucumber is possible the world’s most powerful diuretic so it is highly detoxifying and promotes a healthy kidney and bladder.

As cucumber and the skin share the same level of hydrogen, they can mask problem areas including puffiness around the eyes. They help in soothing and softening the skin. The cleansing properties leave the skin balanced and supple.

This is why so salons across the globe have used cucumbers on the eyes during facials.

Another reason why cucumbers are a popular beauty vegetable is that they are extremely high in sulphur, which is the beauty mineral. This is why people flock to sulphur springs to look and feel their best.

Other benefits of Cucumbers Include:

• Cleanses the liver and balances
• Balances blood sugar levels and promotes a healthy pancreas. This makes it one of the best vegetable juices for people who have diabetes.Lowers blood pressure naturally
• Cucumber contains erepsin, the enzyme that helps to digest protein.
• In addition to the magic they give to the skin, cucumbers promote hair growth, and strong healthy nails.
• Beneficial for rheumatic conditions resulting from excessive uric acid in the body.
• Cucumber juice is also valuable for helping diseases of the teeth and gums.
