Meet your cucumber! It has a nice mild flavor that comes in handy when you're mixing in other vegetables with a bolder flavor.  They are packed with 95% water, so they make for lots and lots of yummy hydrating juice.  They have heart-healthy potassium and magnesium helping you to keep your blood pressure regulated, bone-supportive manganese and connective tissue strengthening silica which work together to help keep your bones and joints healthy.  The cucumber helps lower uric acid which keeps your kidneys happy too.  On top of all of that, they have three different kind of lignans which help to reduce your risk of breast, ovarian, uterine and prostate cancer.  An unpeeled cucumber also contributes to the daily requirement of Vitamin K which helps to keep calcification and inflammation away from your tissues and also acts as an antioxidant protecting your cells and nerves. Gotta love these little powerhouses!
