Cucumbers are a hydrating and versatile addition to your diet. They are low in calories but high in vitamins and minerals, including potassium and magnesium. Cucumbers can help lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart disease, making them an ideal choice for those with hypertension.

Pro Tip: Create a refreshing cucumber salad with mint and yogurt for a soothing side dish.
