Hangover?

Two weeks ago, I wrote something about to keep balance.

In my opinion this means to live the moment as it is, if you are with you partner, then that moment is the greatest stuff that you can do, if you are at work, concentrate and deliver your commitments, just be aware to not promise what you can not deliver.

But what about when you go to party? when you go to that disco, bar, salsa or friends place and you are drinking some alcohol :) there is way how you can feel better next day.

The best is... before going back to the bed, take a cucumber, prefer those ones covered with plastic, since they do not have wax on, cut it in pieces, add some water, blend it and drink it.

The cucumber is one of the best super-foods in terms of electrolytes it is an alkaline, non-starchy vegetable. It has just the exact minerals and vitamins that your body needs to recover after that night of drinking some tars or cups.

But not only that cucumber may help you to make your hangover better.

• Raw cucumber, when applied on the skin, can help reduce heat and inflammation.
• For those hot days in summer you may have a nice drink of cucumber to feel fresh.
• The diuretic, cooling and cleansing property of cucumber makes it good for skin.
• Fresh cucumber juice can provide relief from heartburn, acid stomach, gastritis and even ulcer.
• Placing a cucumber slice over the eyes not only soothes them, but also reduces swelling.
• Daily consumption of cucumber juice helps control cases of eczema, arthritis and gout.
• Cucumber has been found to be beneficial for those suffering from lung, stomach and chest problems.
• The potassium in cucumber makes it useful for the problem of high and low blood pressure.
• Cucumber contains Erepsin, the enzyme that helps in protein digestion.
• Cucumber juice is said to promote hair growth, especially when it is added to the juice of carrot, lettuce and spinach.
• Cucumber juice, when mixed with carrot juice, is said to be good for rheumatic conditions caused by excessive uric acid in the body.
• Cucumber can prove to be beneficial for those suffering from diseases of the teeth and gums, especially in cases of pyorrhea.
• Being rich in minerals, cucumber helps prevent splitting of nails of the fingers and toes.
• Cucumber has been associated with healing properties in relation to diseases of the kidney, urinary bladder, liver and pancreas.
• Those suffering from diabetes have been found to benefit from the consumption of cucumber/cucumber juice

Have a great week!
