The high water content and dietary fibers in cucumbers work together to get rid of harmful toxins from the digestive system and aid in its functioning. (1)(3)

On top of that, pickled cucumbers contain healthy strands of probiotic bacteria that aid the growth of favorable gut flora and promote a smoother digestion process.

Heals sunburn
The cooling and healing powers of cucumbers can be highly effective in treating sunburn. Cucumbers are full of skin-lavishing minerals, including magnesium, potassium, and silicon, which explains why they are a regular ingredient in commercial products for sunburn treatment.
Cucumbers also work to rejuvenate the skin and improve its complexion. They can even be used to fade scars and lighten pigmentation. (4)
If you have a sunburn, cucumbers will help draw heat out of your skin and speed up the healing process.

. Lowers blood sugar
Cucumbers are naturally a diabetes-diet-friendly food as they have low calories and high fiber content. Moreover, cucumbers may help lower blood sugar as they contain a hormone that is required by beta cells for insulin production.
A study published in the Iranian Journal of Basic Medical Sciences expounded upon this antidiabetic effect of cucumbers by demonstrating that a nine-day diet of cucumber seed extract helped reduce sugar levels in diabetic rats. (5)
Another animal study published in the October 2014 issue of the Journal of Medicinal Plant Research demonstrated that cucumber pulp extract lowered blood sugar. This study isolated chemicals from the cucumber that have previously been linked to blood-sugar-lowering properties. (6)
Although further studies are needed to establish and elaborate upon the sugar-lowering efficacy of cucumbers for humans, it wouldn’t hurt to add this low-calorie succulent snack to your diet nevertheless!
. Regulates blood pressure
فشار خون را تنظیم می کند
Cucumbers contain a lot of potassium, magnesium, and fiber that make them very effective in regulating blood pressure. They are considered good for the treatment of both low and high blood pressure. Plus, being a natural diuretic, cucumbers help to hydrate and lower the pressure in the arteries. (7)
Several studies done by DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) found that eating cucumbers, coupled with a low-starch and lean protein diet, helped lower blood pressure by 5.5 points in people suffering from hypertension.
To lower blood pressure, cucumber juice should be mixed with other vegetable juices, such as those from carrots, beets, and lemons. Drinking this juice two or three times a day has been found to bring down elevated blood pressure in a matter of days.

8. Prevents hangovers
If drinking alcohol gives you a headache the next morning, cucumbers (and time) may solve your problem.
Nutrients including B vitamins, sugar, and electrolytes, and the high-water content present in cucumbers help replenish the essential nutrients lost through alcohol consumption and prevent dehydration. This, in turn, reduces the intensity of hangovers. (1)(3)
To help prevent a hangover, eat a few slices of cucumber, including the skin, before going to bed after you have been drinking.
Fights cancer
Another beneficial property of cucumbers is their ability to fight and prevent cancer. Some of the components in cucumbers that have anticancer activities are cucurbitacins, fisetin, lutein, and caffeic acid. (8)(1)
The bitterness in cucumbers is caused by a class of phytochemicals known as cucurbitacins, which have strong anticancer properties that inhibit cancer cell growth. Plus, the flavonoid fisetin can effectively reduce the viability of prostate cancer cells.
Caffeic acid has antiproliferative and apoptotic effects on breast cancer cells. Lignans, on the other hand, get converted into compounds, such as enterodiol and enterolactone, by bacteria in the body that mitigate the risk of estrogen-related cancers, such as ovarian, breast, endometrial, and prostate cancers.
Additionally, the many antioxidants in cucumbers along with vitamin C improve your immunity and reduce free-radical damage, which in turn helps prevent cancer.
Nutritional Content of Cucumber
Cucumbers are an excellent source of vitamins K and C and different B vitamins. They are also a good source of sodium, copper, amino acids, carbohydrates, sugar, soluble and insoluble fibers, potassium, manganese, fatty acids, phosphorus, magnesium, biotin, and silica.
Plus, cucumbers have many health-supportive phytonutrients, including flavonoids (apigenin, luteolin, quercetin, and kaempferol), lignans (pinoresinol, lariciresinol, and secoisolariciresinol) and triterpenes (cucurbitacins A, B, C, and D). (3)
