How zucchini can help with maintaining your health and wellness... (Nutritious Foods series)

​Zucchini is one of the most loved summer squashes and has a unique taste and texture. It has a number of nutritious benefits and should be included in a healthy diet. Zucchini has plenty of dietary fiber that helps with digestion, regulates blood sugar and stops constipation. It is also known to limit overeating. 
 
Since dietary fiber is the key to having healthy and consistent bowel movements, the abundance of fiber in zucchini also stops carcinogenic toxins from inhabiting the colon. The nutrients such as vitamin A, vitamin C and folate in zucchini are strong antioxidants that help fight various forms of cancer.

​Zucchini’s dietary fiber reduces cholesterol through the method of attaching to bile acids. Fiber attaches to bile acid very well and stops it from being able to take in fat right away. This encourages the liver to increase its production of bile acid. In order to do so, the liver has to take cholesterol from the body and therefore lowers the body’s cholesterol level. 
 
Significant amounts of vitamin A and C stop the threat of atherosclerosis by preventing the oxidation of cholesterol in blood vessels. Aside from acting as strong antioxidants, vitamins A and C are have great anti-inflammatory properties. Combined with copper, these nutrients prevent hyper-inflammatory disorders from developing. These disorders include osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and asthma. 
 
Zucchini is a good source of magnesium. A single cup of zucchini has more than 10% of the recommended daily amount. Magnesium has been found to lower risks of stroke and heart attack. Folate in zucchinis is essential for breaking down the harmful amino acid called homocysteine. If levels of homocysteine in the body are high, it increases the potential of stroke and heart attack.
 
Potassium in zucchini, as well as magnesium, supports healthy blood pressure. High blood pressure can cause stroke, heart attack, damage to blood vessels and other medical disorders.  The body also benefits from the stress alleviation of the circulatory system caused by magnesium and potassium. 
 
Manganese is found in zucchinis and has a number of health benefits. Many physiological functions benefit from manganese. A cup of zucchini provides 19% of the recommended daily amount of manganese. It aids in metabolizing carbohydrates and proteins. Manganese also stimulates sex hormone production and accelerates the synthesis of cholesterol and fatty acids.
 
Consuming zucchini can even cause healthier skin. Manganese is necessary when it comes to proline production, which is the amino acid responsible for collagen development.
