Bio-individuality
No one diet or one way of eating works for everyone; instead each person has their own unique needs. One type of food can nourish someone by giving them energy while it may leave another person feeling drained and with an onset of symptoms. One food example is a cucumber. Cucumbers are mostly water and keep you hydrated. They are cooling and great to eat during the warmer months. They contain vitamins A, B and C along with minerals such as magnesium and potassium. It can stabilize blood sugar and flush out toxins. With all these benefits, how can anyone turn away cucumbers? For some, eating cucumbers can cause bloating, gassiness, itchy skin, swelling or hives around the mouth.
