How healthy is Cucumber?
This low-calorie veggie has a lot of health benefits and hydrating properties. Cucumbers are very high in flavonoids, which are natural plant chemicals that prevent and protect against diseases. They are high in antioxidants and help maintain anti-inflammation and prevent cancer. Cucumbers are low in calories because they are naturally low in carbs and fats.

Is it ok to eat Tomatoes and Cucumber together?
Some may say that cucumbers and tomatoes don’t mix well together and cause all sorts of gas and digestive issues. This is due to the fact that tomatoes are digested slower than cucumbers. But the myth around the fact that mixing the two is not good for you is not true! In fact, tomatoes and cucumbers mixed together in a tossed salad are utterly delicious.
