FOOD IS MEDICINE

COOL AS CUKES The cucumber is a nutrient-, fiber- and water-rich low-calorie fruit with plant compounds and antioxidants that lower blood sugar levels and prevent illness and chronic disease, while increasing physical performance and metabolism.

Paired with mint for sorbet or a chilled soup, with watercress for sandwiches, with radishes and raspberries for salad, or with water (a spa favorite), cucumbers—pickled, too—lend freshness and flavor to simply everything. —CRISTINA CUOMO
