The efficacy and function of old cucumber

1. Lowers cholesterol

Old cucumbers are rich in fine fiber, plant protein and vitamins. Regular consumption can promote the excretion of stool in the intestines and help lower the cholesterol concentration in the body, which is extremely beneficial for people with high cholesterol.

2. Weight loss

The succinic acid contained in old cucumbers can inhibit the conversion of carbohydrates into fat, thus playing a good role in helping weight loss.

3. Anti-cancer

Cucumbers are rich in a substance called cucurbitacin C, which can improve our immunity and thus enhance the body's immune function. When the immune function is strong, it can effectively resist cell canceration and achieve the purpose of anti-tumor. After old cucumbers are naturally ripened, they contain more cucurbitacin, so the anti-cancer effect of old cucumbers is stronger than that of young cucumbers.

4. Appetite

Old cucumbers taste slightly sour, and this sour taste can stimulate appetite, making them especially suitable for people with poor appetite and the elderly.

5. Anti-aging

Old cucumbers are also rich in vitamin E, which can help prolong life and resist aging. In addition, the cucumber enzyme in old cucumbers has strong biological activity and can effectively promote the body's metabolism.
