This information was in The New York Times several weeks ago as
part of its series “Spotlight on the Home” section to emphasize the
creative and fantastic ways to solve common problems.

Cucumbers contain most of the vitamins you need
daily. Only one cucumber contains Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2,
Vitamin B3, Vitamin B5, Vitamin B6, Folic Acid, Vitamin C,
Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium and Zinc.

If you feel tired in the afternoon, do not drink a soda with caffeine change it for a cucumber. Cucumbers are a good source of Vitamins
B and Carbohydrates that can provide quick energy that can
last for hours.

Tired of your bathroom mirror fogging up after a shower?
Rub a slice of cucumber in the mirror, you will eliminate the fog
and will provide a gentle fragrance as relaxing in a spa.

Are grubs and slugs ruining your planting beds? Place a
few slices in a small tin and your garden will be free of pests
throughout the season. The chemicals in the cucumber react with the
aluminum to give off a scent undetectable by humans but
crazy to garden pests and makes them flee the area.

Are you looking for a quick and easy way to remove
cellulite before going out or to the pool? Rub a slice or two
cucumber through the problem area for a few minutes,
phytochemicals in the cucumber cause the collagen in your skin
tighten, asserting the outer layer and reducing the visibility of the
cellulite. It also works great on wrinkles!
