Lightly salted cucumbers are not only a tasty and aromatic snack for lunch, but also a healthy product.

Dr. Elena Solomatina spoke about this in more detail.

As the nutritionist noted, such products help to replenish the deficiency of water and mineral salts in the summer, which the body usually loses during the heat.

Lightly salted cucumbers help maintain the acid-base balance so that muscles function normally.

“They replenish the loss of water and electrolytes during sweating,” the publication “ Moscow 24 ” quotes the specialist as saying.

Solomatina also added that such cucumbers help those who suffer from low blood pressure. The benefits do not end there.

As the doctor added, cucumbers also have a positive effect on digestion.

If you eat a lightly salted cucumber before a meal, the gastric juice will start to be secreted better, which will stimulate your appetite and improve digestion.
