Fight Fatigue & Headaches with Cucumbers!

CucumberImage via Wikipedia

Cucumbers are a powerhouse food, high in benefits and easy on the budget!
They contain B vitamins, Vitamin C, Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium and Zinc.

The perfect pick me up during the day when you hit an energy slump, cucumbers leave you feeling energized, without the jitters caffeine can produce.

Eating cucumbers at bedtime can thwart headaches and hangovers. Cucumbers contain sugar, B vitamins and electrolytes. They replenish essential nutrients lost while consuming alcoholic beverages.

Hungry? Try eating cucumbers to ward off the urge to binge eat. They are filling, hydrating and low calorie.

About Me

My photo
I am a freelance writer, Reiki master, and educator, with diplomas in teacher's aide and child psychology, and numerous writing courses. I home schooled my son, who was born 10 weeks early and was expected to have developmental and learning lags. In 6th grade, he took an 8th grade standardized achievement test, and scored as a college sophomore in math and English. It inspired me to write a book, which I have given away for free! It is called Make your Kid a Genius, and can be downloaded at my website http://www.irenehelenzundel.com I am passionate about alternative healing methods; especially Reiki, aromatherapy, acupressure, therapeutic massage and music and sound therapy.
