Let me preface this by saying that I am NOT a big fan of cucumbers. I enjoy pickles, which is ironic, considering I don't usually enjoy anything with a vinegar base. BUT, maybe it's time for me to start giving them a little more attention.
Not only are cucumbers a high in fiber, but unlike most foods that are rich in fiber, cucumbers come with their own supply of liquid. This makes the cucumber one of your best friends, if you are in need of getting your digestive system moving. High fiber + liquid = exactly what you want it to... if you are constipated!
Also, cucumbers are great, if you've had diarrhea, as the amount of liquid helps to rehydrate your body, in addition to giving it some much needed nutrients. So there. Even if it isn't your favorite tasting vegetable, give them a shot. They'll do a body good.
