The foundation for a healthy body through foods...Returning to cleansing foods

    The healing power of cucumbers  Continue "Day 18, 2011"

We are now returning to the power of cleansing foods.  We realize that you may not have understood why we are doing this blog.  Now that you have the information and knowledge, we can continue with cleansing foods.  Some people will be skeptical of cleanses, but they will eat foods that will cleanse the body.  We will tell you how to get the products you may use for an entire body cleanse after we give you the whole truth about the foods that you may use. These foods must be used doing the cleansing process, so it’s better that you know the whole truth before spending money and continue with the same habits.

Today we will look at vegetables.  Why cucumbers are considered a cleansing food?   Because hydration is critical for detoxification, cucumbers are great for their high water content.  Water retention will block the elimination process for removing toxins.  The flesh of cucumbers is good for solving this dilemma, and it is also rich in ascorbic acid and caffeic acid (hydroxycinnamic acid), which prevent water retention.  The skins of the cucumbers are also high in fiber and minerals such as silica, magnesium and potassium.  These minerals play a role in fluid balance while the fiber with efficient water will lower blood pressure.

Cucumbers are beneficial for soothing skin irritation or puffy eyes.  They cool the skin and reduce inflammation.  Silica is needed for healthy connective tissue, skin repairs, muscles, cartilage and bones.  Therefore this vegetable should be eaten daily to maintain a healthy body
You want to purchase organic or farm raise vegetables from your area.  Conventional vegetables are usually coated with a petroleum based wax to reduce damage in shipping.  If you buy conventional vegetables, you must peel the vegetable and then the healing qualities in the skin will be lost .

Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.  Luke 6:38
