The Benefits of Zucchini
I must admit, I have a love affair with zucchini. I love zucchini zoodles, grilled zucchini with shrimp, raw zucchini on a turkey sandwich, the list goes on and on. It is a great substitute for spaghetti and the benefits are endless. Here are some of the reasons why I added this green plant to my regular diet:
- High Source of Antioxidants and Vitamin C
- Has Anti-Inflammatory Properties that Can Improve Heart Health
- High Source of Potassium
- Help Improve Digestion
- Low in Calories and Carbs
- Helps Maintain Eye Health
- Good Source of Energizing B Vitamins
- Can Help Control Diabetes
- Help Balance Thyroid and Adrenal Function
