Do you know Cucumber only for its salads?


I am a big fan of Mike Geary because of his convincing articles on health and fitness. After seeing him go into the details of our food habits, I also started collecting details of the food that we take on a day to day basis. I was surprised to find the richness of underestimated "cucumber" as far as our health is concerned.


1) Cucumber contains Vitamins B, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6 and C, folic acid, calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium and zinc.
2)Take a slice of cucumber if you are feeling tired in the afternoon. A combination of carbohydrate and Vitamin B in cucumber will enrich you with enough energy for the rest of the day.
3)Are you prone to hang-overs or Migraines? Take a few slices of cucumber before going to bed, get up in the morning all fresh. Hangover in the morning is the result of unbalanced acidity. Natural electrolysis process between sugar and vitamin B restores that balance.
4)Are you addicted to taking gum or mint after lunch? Changed your habit by a healthy alternative. Chew a small slice of cucumber for 30 seconds. phytochemicals available in cucumber will kill the bacteria responsible for the bad odour from the mouth.
5) Want to feel fresh and do not have time to go to a spa or for facial etc.? Cut a full cucumber, boil it in water and give a steam bath to your face. No artificial cream will make you feel as fresh as this one. Your skin will be completely rejuvenated.
6) Did you work the whole day sitting in front of the computer and now you have a stressful eye? Make 2 slices of cucumber, close your eyes and keep these slices on your eyes for 2 minutes and see the result.

Cucumber is not only good for your body but it has a few other great advantages.

1)We normally are irritated by fog created on mirrors after a warm bath. Just rub a slice of cucumber on the mirror to remove the fog. The mirror will be de-fogged immediately along with a very nice aroma all over bathroom.
2)You have to go to an important meeting but your shoe polish is missing? No worries, Just take a slice of a cucumber and rub it lightly on your leather shoe. It will provide that "Shine" that you were looking for.
3)Is your kitchen sink, tap or other stainless steel surfaces require cleaning? Just rub cucumber slice and see the result.

What is your definition of “muscle”?

People may write pages to answer this question. But what impressed me was Vince's simple but convincing reply which is as below: FAT FREE MASS . The human body can manufacture (under optimal training, nutrition, supplements and recovery) anywhere from .25 to 1.0 pounds of dry muscle tissue a week. So we’re talking 2 to 4 pounds per month and this can be higher or lower based on the individual. Understand, when you increase muscle size (Dry Muscle), you’ll also be able to increase glycogen AND water storage in those new muscles. More muscle equals more water and glycogen. This is all considered FAT FREE MASS and it’s weight that will make you look awesome. So when we say you can gain “12 pounds of muscle”, we’re NOT referring to 12 pounds of dry muscle, we’re referring to 12 pounds of dry muscle AND glycogen AND water. Fat free mass !

 How To Quit Smoking: I had written about an alternative of cigarettes in my earlier post what you can read by clicking below: http://bodyfitnessmyths.blogspot.co.nz/2013/05/are-you-smoker.html However, now I realize that there no alternative to smoking and I decided to go for counseling to learn how to quit smoking as recommended by my doctor. Last Tuesday was the first session of six sessions long counseling which are distributed over 6 weeks. I was nervous and excited at the same time. Our team of counselors comprised of a nurse and a psychologist. There were 8 ladies /girls and three men attending the session. We were given warm welcome and we introduced ourselves. All were amused and surprised to know that I am passionate about blogging on the topics related to body fitness. The real session after the introduction started with a short presentation by the nurse and the psychologist. Then we were asked to discuss with the person sitting next to each of us regarding how we
