The chemical profile of cucumbers is thought to give them a number of possible health benefits.

1) Hydration
Consisting mostly of water, and containing important electrolytes, cucumbers can help prevent dehydration during the hot summer months or during and after a workout.

Adding cucumber and mint to water can increase water consumption by making it more attractive to drink.

Dehydration is important for many things including maintaining a healthy intestine, preventing constipation, and avoiding kidney stones.

2) Bone health
A sufficient intake of vitamin K has been associated with healthy bones that are less likely to fracture.

One cup of cucumber provides 8.5 micrograms (mcg) of vitamin K. The Office of Dietary Supplements (ODS) recommends that women aged 19 years and over consume 90 mcg of vitamin K each day, and men 120 mcg. It also contains calcium. Vitamin K helps improve calcium absorption. Together, these nutrients contribute to good bone health.

3) Cancer
As a member of the Cucurbitaceae family of plants, cucumbers contain high levels of nutrients known as cucurbitacins, which may help prevent cancer by stopping cancer cells from proliferating and surviving.

Cucumbers contain cucurbitacins A, B, C, D, and E.

There are currently no current anti-cancer therapies that utilize cucurbitacins. Laboratory research has produced promising results, but more work is needed to confirm their antitumor effects.
