Comment by aqua08 on March 21, 2012 at 7:41pm Calcium
A serving of 1/2 cup of cucumbers with the skin provides 8 mg of calcium. Calcium helps build strong bones and teeth and plays a role in muscle contraction, blood vessel contraction and blood clotting. Calcium also aids in the transmission of nerve signals. Although cucumbers do contain some calcium, adults require 1000 to 1200 mg of calcium per day, so the percentage of calcium a cucumbercontributes is very minimal.
Potassium
Over 95 percent of the potassium in your body is located inside your cells, according to "Nutrition and You" by Joan Salge Blake. Potassium helps maintain proper heart beat and plays a role in nerve impulse transmission. Approximately 76 mg of potassium is in 1/2 cup of cucumbers. Generally, adults should consume 4700 mg of potassium every day.
Phosphorus
As with calcium, phosphorus plays an important role in building strong bones and teeth. Phosphorus also helps your body store energy that you receive from the metabolism of carbohydrates, protein and fat. A 1/2-cup serving of cucumbers contributes approximately 12 mg of phosphorus. Both male and female adults should consume 700 mg of phosphorus daily.
Vitamin A
One of the most important functions of vitamin A is its role in allowing you to see. Vitamin A also plays important roles in reproduction and keeping your immune system healthy. A 1/2-cup serving of cucumbers contributes 55 IU of vitamin A. Adult females need 2310 IU of vitamin A daily, and adult males need 2970 IU each day.
Vitamin K
Vitamin K acts as a coagulation factor and ensures that your blood is able to clot properly. Vitamin K also aids enzymes in allowing a chemical reaction that ensures your bones stay healthy. Cucumber with the skin provides you with 8.5 mcg of vitamin K per 1/2 cup. Adult men should aim to consume 120 mcg of vitamin K every day, whereas adult women should aim to consume 90 mcg of vitamin K daily.

Comment by Maria Khan on January 15, 2012 at 8:37am Skin care Mistakes ..
Mistake 1 - Washing your face with soap
Soaps dry your skin. It’s true that they make the skin absolutely clean and bright, they remove the blackheads, but the true is that the soap harms your skin. The soap stimulates the secretion of the sebaceous glands, which means more blackheads formation after every cleansing.
You had better use a tonic, cleansing lotion or gels that are specially designed for facial cleansing.
Mistake 2 - Not removing the makeup in the evening
There is no need to say how harmful this is for your skin – the deep-rooted during the day dust, powder, mascara, makeup and the natural skin secretions remain on the skin during the whole night and the result is a sad consequences – clogged pores, pimples formation, acceleration of oils and most importantly your skin cannot "breathe" .
The reason for not removing the makeup usually is the late going to bed. That’s why you should keep a pack of wet cleansing wipes on your bedside table or you can simple remove the makeup earlier. Cleanse the face with cleansing milk, tonic or gel, apply night cream and enjoy a calm night.
It’s the same and for the boys – the facial cleansing isn’t just for the girls.
Mistake 3 - You don’t use an eye cream
The eye area is the first to show any signs of aging. In this area the skin is most delicate and forms wrinkles easily. Applying an eye cream is especially essential for those over 25. That’s why you should choose appropriate for you eye cream and apply it both in the morning and in the evening.
