Dr. Schmidt tip: I always grew up peeling the skin off cucumber—try leaving the skin on! The skin of a cucumber is full of fiber and nutrients.
Health fact: Greek or Icelandic Yogurt is rich with probiotic cultures which is great for overall health!
Fun fact: According to thetowndish.com: The term “cool as a cucumber” is actually derived from the cucumber’s ability to cool the temperature of the blood. Also when applied topically, cucumber really does cool the blood and eases facial swelling, which is why cucumbers are so popular in facial regimens.
