- Cucumbers contain an anti-inflammatory flavonol called fisetin that appears to play an important role in your brain health
- Cucumbers
also contain polyphenols called lignans, which may help to lower your risk of breast, uterine, ovarian, and prostate cancers

in part by inhibiting the activity of pro-inflammatory enzymes (including cyclo-oxygenase 2, or COX-2)
