Today's blog post is all about cucumber water. I have been drinking cucumber water in school for the past month and I have had so many questions and people being like "ew it's so gross". So I decided to write about it today as it's super healthy and I love it.
During the February half term I was revising for my exams and when your revising you need to stay hydrated and I realised that I don't drink enough water as I should. I saw on some social media sites that people where drinking cucumber in water. I have always loved cucumbers so I decided to try it and now I am obsessed with it. I drink it in school, at home, before bed, in the morning sigh breakfast.
So because everyone in school was like ew it's so disgusting I thought I should tell you how good it actually is for you.
Why is it good?
1. It's good for your muscles: Cucumber contains silica which is a mineral. This mineral keeps the connective tissues in your body healthy. So when your working out its a good idea to drink cucumber.
2. It's great for your skin: The silica and antioxidants help your skin to stay clear and supple.
Secret tip for you guys: you can remove soaked cucumbers from cucumber water and use them to reduce acne redness. Or you can wash your face using cucumber water to help acne.
3. It's low calories: A cucumber only has 45 calories.
4. Makes you drink more water: It does this because water can taste boring sometimes and adding cucumber will flavour your water.
5. Making it is easy, all you have to do is this...
Grab a cucumber and cut it up so its in circles and then divide it in to fours. 
Add your sliced cucumber to a cup, glass or bottle and put some cold water into your cup and the drink away.
