Bone Density

Cancer

Cucumbers contain a unique compound called cucurbitacin, which acts as a powerful antioxidant in the body.  In recent years, this compound has been the subject of a great deal of research, and it has been found that drinking cucumber water can lower your risk of prostate cancer, among others.


Detoxifying

Drinking cucumber water means drinking a great deal of water, which can help to flush the body and increase urination. [7] This means the toxins in your body will be eliminated faster, reducing the strain on your metabolic system.

Muscle Strength
