Benefits of Cucumber Water

Infusing water with wonky fruit is what we at DASH do best, so we think that cucumber water is a perfect hydration duo. Delicious, refreshing and packed full of cucumber water benefits, DASH’s Cucumber Sparkling Water can be enjoyed on its own or as a simply delightful drink mixer. Relaxing with sliced cucumber on your eyes whilst sipping cucumber water is entirely optional…

CUCUMBER WATER BENEFITS

Made by infusing cucumber into water, it sounds simple, but that’s why it works! So is cucumber water good for you? Read some of the many benefits of cucumber water here:

- Hydration - With an incredibly high water content of 95%, cucumbers are already designed for hydration. That’s what makes our cucumber drinks the perfect pick-me-up towards helping you clock up your recommended water intake of 6-8 glasses of fluid each day.

- Supports muscle tissue - Since cucumber contains muscle-boosting silica, the trace mineral that keeps your connective tissue healthy, cucumber drinks can work in tandem with your exercise plan - without the sugar tax on your body. For a natural alternative to sugary pre-workout drinks, sip on some DASH cucumber water instead.

- Skin-boosting - The silica found in cucumber can also help encourage your skin to produce collagen, helping to improve the appearance of your hair and nails as part of the package. 

- Antioxidant rich - Cucumbers are packed full of antioxidants including calcium for strong bones, magnesium for muscle repair, and Vitamin K to aid transporting calcium to your bones for improved bone health. That’s why cucumber water drinks can serve as a turbo-charged boost to your immune system with their antioxidant properties.

Are we allowed to say that DASH canned sparkling water is the best? Thank you. That’s because each can of DASH holds the same three simple ingredients - natural spring water, wonky fruit and bubbles - so you can stay refreshed without the calories, sugar or sweeteners.
