I combined these 2 ingredients because I admire the health benefits of both cucumber and ginger , according to health experts"ginger works wonders in treatment of everything from cancer to migraine." Wow, that's amazing! While cucumber can " help reduce acidity in the body, improving symptoms of ulcers and other disturbances in the body's pH levels." A good juice combination that you must try.
For a glass of cucumber and ginger juice we need the following:
400 grams cucumber
an inch of ginger
Wash thoroughly then extract the juice and enjoy it.
