you know cucumbers are packed with moisture and vitamins making them great for skin care recently the amazing immune boosting and curing disease effects of cucumbers have been revealed causing a big sensation but did you know that even such a healthy cucumber can be harmful to your health if eaten with certain foods now let's find out the three worst foods to pair with cucumbers and the three best foods and special recipes to pair with them first the worst Food combination with cucumber is surprisingly carrot aren't you shocked when hiking or exercising you might eat cucumbers and
carrots together for hydration and they are considered the best combination in salad however from a nutritional standpoint carrots and cucumbers do not go well together firstly cucumbers are 95% water wait a minute isn't cucumber a vegetable are you curious about this cucumbers are botanically classified as fruits because they grow from flowers and contain seeds they are particularly good for immediate hydration due to their high water content so what makes up the remaining 5% of cucumbers aside from water it's vitamins a single cucumber contains a lot of vitamin C about 15% of the recommended daily intake
it not only relieves fatigue and gives you energy but also boosts your immune system significantly moreover the vibrant green color of cucumbers comes from chlorophyll when chlorophyll and vitamin C are combined they provide excellent moisturizing effects making your skin radiant and helping to generate collagen which is great for preventing skin aging but here's the catch if you eat cucumbers which are rich in vitamin C together with carrots you won't get any vitamin C this is because an enzyme in carrots called a scorin destroys vitamin C so should you never eat cucumbers and carrots together no
there is a secret method since this enzyme and carrots is weak against heat and acid you can lightly cook the carrots or sprinkle a little vinegar or lemon juice on them this way you can enjoy the nutrients from both carrots and cucumbers one more tip the vitamins and cucumbers are mostly in the skin so be sure to eat them with the skin on the first best food combination with cucumber is none other than pear cucumbers are well known for their cooling properties and their ability to reduce heat cucumber is a representative cooling ingredient that helps
release heat from the body in fact it's used not only for treating Burns and reducing inflammation and swelling but also for alleviating pinup anger related heat however eating such cooling foods can sometimes cause side effects the released heat can circulate throughout the body hindering digestion and blocking blood circulation surprisingly cucumbers are not only cooling but also full of water the Abundant moisture in cucumbers promotes diuretic effects ensuring the released heat is expelled from the body rather than circulating within when eaten with pears an incredible synergistic effect is achieved the cooling properties of pears combined with
cucumbers enhance the heat reducing and anti-inflammatory effects ensuring the heat is entirely expelled from the body moreover both cucumbers and pears are rich in asparagin this component is excellent for detoxifying and strengthening the liver making cucumbers and pairs the best combination for detoxifying the body so from now on make sure to eat cucumbers and pairs together not only for inflammation pin up anger and detoxification but also for Liver Health the second worst combination with cucumber is banana cucumber with its high water content and low calories and banana rich in nutrients and dietary fiber are both
top choices for a diet thus many people often consume cucumbers and bananas together however surprisingly this combination is not good for health first of all cucumbers are not only full of water but also packed with nutrients beneficial for heart and blood vessel Health you know that reducing salt intake is important for cardiovascular health don't you while reducing sodium intake is crucial it's equally important to consume plenty of potassium which helps expel the sodium already ingested from the body cucumbers are rich in various excellent nutrients especially pottassium the pottassium in cucumbers dilates blood vessels aiding in
a smooth expulsion of waste and sodium from the body therefore regularly eating cucumbers is excellent for preventing cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension hyper lipid dmia arteriosclerosis and stroke here's the focus the problem is that bananas are also rich in potassium although pottassium is very good for health excessive intake can disrupt the water balance in cells causing muscles and nerves to overly relax as a result it can lead to muscle weakness and paralysis chronic numbness in the hands and feet and even cause heart arrhythmias and acute hypotension so from now on do not consume cucumbers and
bananas together eat them separately to ensure you get all the nutrients from each the second recommended food to pair with cucumber instead of banana is apple as mentioned earlier cucumbers are rich in nutrients that help prevent cardiovascular diseases in addition to potassium there is another reason cucumbers are considered a superfood it's the miraculous vitamin K for vascular Health found in cucumbers hold on that here's a quiz what happens if you get a wound on a blood vessel that's right the wound needs to clot and heal quickly to prevent excessive bleeding however if it clots too
much and blocks The Vessel oxygen and nutrients cannot be properly supplied leading to damage to tissues and organs vitamin K and C cumbers is crucial for maintaining this delicate balance moreover cholesterol a major cause of cardiovascular diseases not only causes problems by itself but also leads to atherosclerosis when it accumulates and calcifies on the walls of blood vessels vitamin K in cucumbers lowers cholesterol levels and prevents atherosclerosis therefore you must include cucumbers in your diet to prevent cardiovascular diseases when eaten with apples cucumbers become a miraculous remedy for blood vessels the soluble dietary fiber pectin
and apples strengthens and expands the blood vessels so while cucumbers help with blood circulation apples fortify the blood vessels make sure to eat apples and cucumbers together from now on the third worst Food combination with cucumber is surprisingly pickled cucumber while it's delicious to enjoy crunchy cucumbers pickled in salt or season as spicy pickles do you know how much salt goes into making pickles an enormous amount of salt is used and no matter how much you rinse them some saltiness remains of course sodium the main component of salt is an essential mineral necessary for the
body salt is crucial for the digestion of food blood circulation and the expulsion of waste here's a quiz why does the heart unlike other organs never get cancer it's because the heart contains the highest amount of salt in the body given the health benefits of salt a completely salt-free diet can be detrimental however considering that our diet already includes a lot of sodium it's much better to be cautious about salty foods so why is eating too much salt bad for your health excessive salt intake increases the sodium concentration in blood vessels causing water to flood
into the blood vessels through osmosis this makes the blood vessels stiff raising blood pressure ultimately this can lead to hypertension stroke heart disease heart failure and kidney disease additionally sodium is known as a major carcinogen that causes stomach disease es eating salty foods damages the stomach lining leading to gastritis and stomach illness therefore you should avoid eating cucumbers pickled in salt from now on the third best food combination with cucumber is vinegar many people think of cucumbers as a food that is mostly water however recent Studies have revealed the incredible brain health benefits of cucumbers
this is thanks to natural compound called fistin found in cucumbers fistin is not only excellent for its anti-inflammatory effects but also has tremendous benefits for brain health especially for improving memory and concentration the fistin in cucumbers protects brain nerve cells and prevents aging moreover cucumbers have outstanding anti- disease properties did you know that the stem end of a cucumber tastes bitter that bitter part contains an antioxidant compound called cucurbit desin this compound removes free radicals and prevents the occurrence and growth of Health harming cells it is particularly effective for detoxifying the liver making it excellent
for preventing liver and prostate diseases in addition to these benefits cucumbers are great for their anti-inflammatory immune boosting in brain health furthermore cucumbers are a reprentative alkaline food which is another great benefit when our body's acidity level is high toxins are produced and inflammation occurs in the blood vessels therefore it's essential to consume alkaline foods like cucumbers regularly to neutralize acidity and maintain Health this is where vinar comes into play although vinegar sour taste might make you think it's acidic it is surprisingly an alkaline food vinar helps ensure that the vitamin C in cucumbers is
fully absorbed by our bodies it also cleans and strengthens the acidified blood vessel walls Additionally the warm nature of vinar balances the excessively cold nature of cucumbers making it even better so make sure to eat cucumbers with vinegar either in a Viner salad or as cucumber vinegar pickles so far we've learned about the three three worst and three best food combinations with cucumber it's time to summarize them one last time to fully absorb the vitamins and cucumbers sprinkle a little vinegar or lemon juice when eating them with carrots or cook the carrots slightly pair cucumbers
with pears to enjoy the synergistic effects instead of eating cucumbers with bananas pair them with apples avoid eating cucumbers pickled heavily in salt in instead enjoy them with vinegar for a healthier option how does that sound I hope you incorporate cucumbers with the right food combinations to protect your health thank you so much for spending time with me if you found today's video helpful Please Subscribe and like it and share it with your beloved family and friends I'll always pray for your health and happiness this has been your Dr John thank you very much
