Are you looking for a way to drink more water?
You should try cucumber water! This is a refreshing drink that not only makes water taste extra fresh and clean, but also boosts its nutritional content.
Cucumbers are a great addition to water because they contain Vitamin C and caffeic acid, two antioxidant nutrients that can help protect the skin from sun damage. Vitamin C boosts collagen and elastin, which helps keep skin looking vibrant while caffeic acid protects skin cells from UV radiation.
Cucumbers also have natural anti-inflammatory properties and help to prevent water retention. Cucumbers also contain silica, an essential component of healthy connective tissue.
