Wow, what a little gem the cucumber is, I will look at it differently now
...
1. Cucumbers contain most of the vitamins you need every day, just one cucumber contains Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B5, Vitamin B6, Folic Acid, Vitamin C, Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium and Zinc.
.
2. Feeling tired in the afternoon, put down the caffeinated soda and pick up a cucumber. Cucumbers are a good source of B Vitamins and Carbohydrates that can provide that quick pick-me-up that can last for hours.
.
3. 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, spa-like fragrance.
.
4. Are grubs and slugs ruining your planting beds? Place a few slices in a small pie tin and your garden will be free of pests all season long. The chemicals in the cucumber react with the aluminum to give off a scent undetectable to humans but drive garden pests crazy and make them flee the area.
.
5 Looking for a fast and easy way to remove cellulite before going out or to the pool? Try rubbing a slice or two of cucumbers along your problem area for a few minutes, the phytochemicals in the cucumber cause the collagen in your skin to tighten, firming up the outer layer and reducing the visibility of cellulite. Works great on wrinkles too!!!
.
6.. Want to avoid a hangover or terrible headache? Eat a few cucumber slices before going to bed and wake up refreshed and headache free. Cucumbers contain enough sugar, B vitamins and electrolytes to replenish essential nutrients
.7. Looking to fight off that afternoon or evening snacking binge? Cucumbers have been used for centuries and often used by European trappers, traders and explores for quick meals to thwart off starvation
.
.8. 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, its chemicals will provide a quick and durable shine that not only looks great but also repels water
.
9. Out of WD 40 and need to fix a squeaky hinge? Take a cucumber slice and rub it along the problematic hinge, and voila, the squeak is gone!
.
10. Stressed out and don't have time for massage, facial or visit to the spa? Cut up an entire cucumber and place it in a boiling pot of water, the chemicals and nutrients from the cucumber with react with the boiling water and be released in the steam, creating a soothing, relaxing aroma that has been shown the reduce stress in new mothers and college students during final exams.
.
11. Just finish a business lunch and realize you don't have gum or mints? Take a slice of cucumber and press it to the roof of your mouth with your tongue for 30 seconds to eliminate bad breath, the phytochemcials will kill the bacteria in your mouth responsible for causing bad breath.
.
12. Looking for a 'green' way to clean your faucets, sinks or stainless steel? Take a slice of cucumber and rub it on the surface you want to clean, not only will it remove years of tarnish and bring back the shine, but is won't leave streaks and won't harm you fingers or fingernails while you clean.
.
13. Using a pen and made a mistake? Take the outside of the 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!!


Pass this along to everybody you know who is looking for better and safer ways to solve life's everyday problems.

Wow! I didnt know that information all about Cucumbers! They really are versatile!! I havent had cucumber for ages. Over here in England a cucumber sandwich is a traditional thing to have at an English garden tea! Hope you are well Dad. Happy 1st May! x

Becky said...

Morning Dad, thanks for sharing all the info on cucumbers, that was very interesting.

So did you get some more tomato plants into the ground? I was very busy today and wasn't able to look the webcam.

Have a wonderful weekend! Love to you and Mary.

Sara said...

Who knew cucumbers could do all that? I thought they were mostly water!

Hope you and Mary have a lovely weekend. The weather here is supposed to be very warm. Tempting to plant some tomatoes, but I know this weather is just a tease.

Good Morning DAD..

I came by for coffee and now I know what I am having for lunch...the rest of a cucumber that is in my refrigerator. I really enjoy the coolness of cucumbers in the summer and serve them almost everyday without realizing all the benefits of eating them. I am going to try that trick for keeping slugs and grubs out of my yard. Thanks for sharing this with all of us.

Hope you and Mary have a very wonderful, peaceful weekend. ...Sara's Mom

Dear Dad and Ms. Mary:

Wow! I've always loved cucumbers and knew they were good for the health, but who knew all of THOSE uses? Now you and Ms. Mary will be making sure to plant cucumbers every season, won't you? My favorites are the Persian ones, very small and they don't put that wax on them like they do the european ones. They taste much better, too! Wishing you both a wonderful weekend and much love from Jamaka and fams

Aloha, DAD,
Today is Lei Day in Hawaii. It is a day to wear flowers and dance hula. There are festivals on all of the islands. The air is sweet and the mood glorious.
I'm off to the super to buy cucumbers. My favorite are the Japanese ones. They, too, are small, very crisp, crunchy and delicious.
Thinking of cucumbers, DAD, you are cool as a cucumber. Wishing you and Mary a blessed Sunday. Sara's aunt
