Benefits of cucumber juice

One serving of this amazing cucumber juice even contains 100 calories and contains 25 grams of carbohydrates, 1 gram of fat and 3 grams of protein. It contains 85% of the daily value of vitamin C and 63% of the daily value of manganese.

Cucumbers are very high in water content and the rest are small amounts of carbohydrates and fiber. That's why they're the perfect ingredient for many juicing recipes.

In fact, cucumbers are one of the best detox foods. They contain a compound called cucurbitacin, which is known to support digestive function. These compounds can help maintain liver health, aid elimination, help protect the gastrointestinal tract, and may also reduce fluid retention.

Cucumbers are also considered a natural diuretic food, which means they help the body produce more urine to flush out toxins and waste products. That’s why this cucumber juice recipe along with other ingredients makes an excellent detox drink.

Zucchini is another low-calorie, water-based vegetable. It also contains therapeutic compounds including lutein, beta-carotene, zeaxanthin, and dehydroascorbic acid.

Pineapples provide you with vitamin C, vitamin B1, potassium and manganese, as well as other special compounds and antioxidants.

Ginger and cayenne pepper are rich in antioxidants and have health benefits, including supporting a healthy response to inflammation. Cayenne pepper is used to aid digestion, heart health, and pain relief. Black pepper also adds a spicy flavor and has important antioxidant properties.
