Cucumber is high in nutrients, as well as certain plant compounds and antioxidants that may help treat and even prevent some conditions. Also, cucumbers are low in calories and contain a good amount of water and soluble fiber, making them ideal for promoting hydration and aiding in weight loss.

Ginger has an anti-obesity effect, it helps food to digest faster and stimulates the body to speed digest food through the colon. While lemon juice helps promote fullness in the same way as regular water, it can be an effective way to help reduce calorie intake.
