3. Cheap

Probably the most important argument for rushing straight to the supermarket to stock up on a few jars is affordability. There are plenty of resources that are beneficial to your health like pickles are, but many of those resources or medicines are quite pricey. A jar of pickles, on the other hand, costs next to nothing.

A great alternative to expensive sports drinks that you take during or before a visit to the gym. However, it’s no surprise that not everyone can chug a glass of pickle juice like they would a bottle of soda. But hey, it’s a lot healthier than an energy drink full of sugar.

2. Cucumbers Against Blood Loss

Pickles are an excellent source of vitamin K. A single pickle contains 15% of the recommended daily amount. What it does? Vitamin K is responsible for blood clotting. If you are deficient in this vitamin, even a small wound can lead to a lot of blood loss. The solution? Right, pickles!

1. Anti-hangover cure

Finally, a tip that will help many. Pickles can help prevent a hangover. Came home from a party and you’re not feeling well because you’ve had a few too many? Eat two large pickles before going to sleep, and you won’t have a problem. The acid breaks down the alcohol, so you won’t have a hangover even after a pretty ‘nice evening’. Ideal!
