Health News: Cucumber is known for its high water content. It contains 95 percent water, often people who lose weight are advised to eat cucumber, because cucumber contains high amount of fiber which makes you feel full for a long time. There is no more hunger than this. It can be easily bought at the vegetable shop.
Disadvantages of eating cucumber in lunch or dinner
In our country, whether one wants to lose weight or not, he often eats cucumber in lunch or dinner. But doing so can be harmful for us. We are not saying this, but Ayurveda expert Dr. Alka Vijayan has told on Instagram recently. She said that she never eats cucumber with food and neither advises it to her patients. Talking in detail on this, he said that I do not like to eat cucumber with cooked food, nor do I recommend it to my patients.
Cucumber can cause body pain
Explaining the reason for this, he said that when raw and cooked food is mixed together, it delays digestion. This happens because the time taken by the body to digest cooked and raw food is different, as the cooked food has already undergone a change due to heat. Due to which ama salt pro inflammatory products are created. Ama is the cause of aches and pains in our body. In the long run, it can lead to a condition of inflammation.
Cucurbitacin can cause indigestion
On the other hand, other dieticians said that cucumber is great for weight loss, because it contains a lot of water. Apart from this, the seeds present in cucumber help prevent constipation and both fiber and water do not allow constipation, but the cucurbitacin found in it can cause indigestion. Some people with weak digestive health may find it difficult to digest cucumber because of this, as it is known to cause indigestion problems like gas and flatulence. By removing cucurbitacins, which are found on the ends of cucumbers, you can limit the spread of cucurbitacins to the rest of the cucumber.
