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.

 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!

Want to avoid a hangover or a 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 the body lost, keeping everything in 
equilibrium, avoiding both a hangover 
and headache!!

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.

Have an important meeting or job interview and 
you realize that you don't have enough time to 
polish your shoes?

 and durable shine that not only looks 
great but also repels water.
