Freshen Up Your Water with Cucumber

Cucumber water is commonly offered at spas for its refreshing taste.  Cucumber works to set your body temperature at a healthy level which makes it an excellent choice for those hot summer days.

The benefits of cucumbers also include regulating blood pressure, acting as a natural diuretic, promoting hair growth, and helping to reduce water retention.

To make your own cucumber water, simply cut half of a fresh cucumber into thin slices, leaving the skin on, and add them to a pitcher of water.  Let it set for at least thirty minutes in the refrigerator and then give it a stir.  The longer you let it set the more refreshing cucumber flavor the water will have.

Enjoy!
