There I give other nutrition tips and I have
I posted some different recipes, which I don't put here on the channel, you'll like them
for sure. Many people have asked me to talk about
the cucumber, if the cucumber makes you lose weight… What is behind the cucumber, why the cucumber
is in fashion these days. Many people make cucumber juice, drink it
cucumber water for weight loss. So, does cucumber have any effect
thermogenic?
Does it really burn fat? Let's start by talking a little about calories,
that in these videos where I talk about gaining and losing weight, I always like to give a situation
in terms of calories. If we take a cup of raw cucumber,
sliced with the skin, we only have 16 calories. And the cucumber has a large amount of fiber
and a high water activity. So, cucumber helps a lot in this matter
satiety, because it has a lot of fiber, few calories and a lot of water. So it takes up more space in our stomach,
with few calories. So it ends up being a great ally for
who wants to lose weight, to put in a salad, to put in a sandwich
and even to make juice. Because as I said, cucumber has a
high water activity, you can use cucumber and sometimes not even put water in it
your own juice, which you will blend, because when you blend the cucumber in the blender,
It already releases a lot of water and is delicious, because many people say:
"Ah, I don't have the courage to drink cucumber juice." That's really funny, because when you
drink cucumber juice, it tastes very similar to melon juice, surprisingly
it seems. It has a very neutral flavor. So, it goes very well with these detox juices. I even have a video here on the channel talking about it
of the main ingredients for a good detox juice. I'll leave the link below for you
and other detox juice recipes for a variety of purposes. But getting back to the issue of weight loss,
using cucumber in detox juice is a good option, because cucumber, as it has a great
water activity, makes us urinate more. And the more you urinate, the more you release
the excess liquid that was circulating, in excess, in your body, leaving you
more swollen.
And then when you go to weigh yourself on the scale,
you sometimes lose a kilo, two kilos of liquid that you have deflated. So it's not that the cucumber has a capacity
thermogenic, it doesn't mean it burns fat, it oxidizes fat, it speeds up metabolism. It helps a lot with debloating. So is cucumber a detox? Many people ask me this. Cucumber has silicon in its composition.
and sulfur that help your kidneys eliminate excess uric acid. This is a super interesting point. So if you suffer from gout, increased
of uric acid, actually putting cucumber in your detox juice or eating more cucumber, can
help you with this issue of detoxifying uric acid in our body. Now, many people associate cucumber with
a detox product, a detox food, because when you take a lot of detox juices it's cucumber
with pineapple, cucumber with coconut water, cucumber with lemon and kale… So, cucumber is already very “pop” when
whether it's detox juice, juice to reduce bloating, juice to lose weight... It's always there. In addition to having lots of antioxidants, vitamins
A, vitamin C, so it really is nutritious and helps you de-bloat. A lot of people ask me:
“Patricia, can I use cucumber water?” “Cucumber water also has this power
super big diuretic?” “Will it help me with this detox capacity
of cucumber?” It will help, but less. Because what makes you deflate more with
cucumber water is the volume. Because they tell you to do two at once
liters of this cucumber water, take two liters of water, cut a cucumber into slices
thin and leave it there for at least 3/4 hours before starting to drink it, right? Some people make it the day before, put it in the
refrigerator and drink throughout the day.
But you drank two liters of liquid. So if you drank two liters of water
pure would stimulate diuresis in the same way. I wanted it to be ideal. So, in fact, for you to enhance
the effects of cucumber, it is more interesting to eat it or drink the juice. Without straining it every time, because then you will have
cucumber water which is naturally very good, you will have the cucumber fibers, the
antioxidants, all the full benefits of the food, rather than just some that have been
dissolved in water. If you want to know more about cucumber,
I have a video specifically talking about all the benefits of it. I'll leave it below in the description. The video description has a little arrow here
