    Cucumbers contain potassium, which is related to lowering blood pressure. A proper balance of potassium both outside and inside the cells is crucial for your body to function properly.
    Like an electrolyte, potassium is a positively charged ion that must maintain a certain concentration (almost 30 times higher inside than outside the cells) in order to perform its functions, which include interacting with sodium to help control the transmission of nerve impulses, muscle contraction, and heart function.

    This information seems to be beneficial to your father, I got it from the internet.

        Look at all the goodness of cucumber.... it is definitely a super healthy, delicious and economical option.

        Cucumbers are composed of 95 percent water, making them an ideal refreshing and moisturizing food.
        Cucumbers contain an anti-inflammatory flavonol called fisetin that appears to play an important role in brain health.
        Cucumbers also contain polyphenols called lignans, which may help reduce the risk of breast, uterine, ovarian, and prostate cancer.
        Cucumber extract helps reduce unwanted inflammation, in part by inhibiting the activity of pro-inflammatory enzymes (including cyclooxygenase 2 or COX-2).
        Cucumbers are low in calories and high in fiber, which makes them useful for both weight loss and digestive health.
