The Most Common Food in Celebrity Diets

When it comes to celebrity diets, it seems as though every A-lister has a different approach, however nearly all the diets have one thing in common; cucumber.

Why? They are one of the most loved superfoods in the world, as they contain hydrating properties, valuable nutrients and are particularly low-calorie, making it a solid staple in any and every diet.

Here are five reasons why celebs are eating cucumbers:

1. Assist with weight loss

With cucumbers being made up of 95 per cent water, it's easy to see why they are a staple ingredient. They're a great low calorie snack to curb hunger and keep hydrated.

Jennifer Aniston swears by eating a cucumber salad consisting of three medium cucumbers daily to keep her healthy and hydrated.

2. Hide a big night out

Cucumbers contain enough sugar, B vitamins and electrolytes to replenish essential nutrients the body lost after a big night on the booze.

Eating a cucumber before bed is an easy method to use to wake up headache and hangover free!

3. Eradicate cellulite

Cucumbers are an effective way to remove unwanted cellulite, as they draw out the excess fluids and tighten the collagen in your skin. So simply eating, or placing a piece of cucumber on your skin, will work as a natural cellulite reduction method.

4. Reduce stress

You can relieve anxiety easily by cutting up an entire cucumber and placing it in a boiling pot of water. The chemicals and nutrients from the cucumber will react with the boiling water and be released in the steam, creating a soothing, relaxing aroma. 

5. Make your skin glow

The natural ascorbic acid and caffeic acid within cucumbers act to prevent water retention in the skin, meaning it works to reduce swelling under the eyes and helps skin heal from inflammation, helping achieve a fresh and youthful complexion.
