Cucumber

THE CUCUMBER IS A FRUIT, NOT A VEGETABLE. It belongs to the same family as gourds, melons, and squash.  They are high in nutrients (potassium, magnesium, and fiber), low in calories (only 14 calories per cup), and because they are mostly water, can be both very refreshing and very filling.

But are they good for the skin?  You bet.  Cucumbers are high in silica, an essential component of the collagen that keeps the skin plump.  Cucumbers are also rich in Vitamin C and the phytonutrient caffeic acid, both of which can prevent water retention, helpful for swollen eyes and soothing for sunburns and other skin inflammation
