Cucumbers contain cucumber acid, which can promote human metabolism and expel toxins; they are also rich in vitamin C, which can whiten the skin and inhibit the formation of melanin... The cucumber's flesh is crisp and tender, making it a rare food for detoxification and beauty. If eaten raw, it is best to eat the cucumber with its skin on to speed up the detoxification "pace".
The cucumber peel contains more bitter substances, which are the essence of the cucumber's nutrition. The nutritional advantages of cucumbers are mainly determined by the nature of the cucumber peel being "sweet in taste and neutral in nature," so it can clear heat and detoxify, promote fluid production to quench thirst, and especially detoxify, cleanse the intestines, and nourish the skin.
Therefore, it is best to eat raw cucumbers with the skin on, which not only has the above benefits but also allows for the full absorption of vitamin C and promotes human metabolism, thereby speeding up the detoxification "pace". However, when eating with the skin, be sure to wash it thoroughly with salt water. Because cucumbers are high in vitamin C, it is best not to eat them raw with other vegetables to avoid a decrease in their nutritional value.
In addition, cucumbers also have the effect of lowering blood sugar, making them a good food that is both a vegetable and a fruit for diabetics, but people with a weak spleen and stomach, abdominal pain and diarrhea, or a cold cough should not eat too much.
