    The reason why cucumbers can fight cancer and accelerate metabolism is that eating cucumbers can speed up metabolism because cucumbers are known for their delicate fragrance and juiciness, and they contain quite a lot of protein and potassium salts. Potassium salt can accelerate blood metabolism and excrete excess salt in the body. Eating cucumber can resist tumor because the bitterness in cucumber has anti-cancer effect. According to "Compendium of Materia Medica", cucumber has the effects of clearing heat, quenching thirst, water and swelling. Cucumber head contains a cucurbitacin C, this substance has obvious anti-tumor effect.
