Useful properties of zucchini that you did not know about. All I recommend to eat them

Zucchini are simple vegetables that grow in every garden plot. They are unpretentious and fruitful. But the benefits of this product are underestimated and neglected by many. Read it and be surprised!

Of course, people are different, there are also those for whom zucchini will be harmful and contraindicated (although there are very few of them). Today I want to talk about the benefits.

Zucchini contains a large number of vitamins and minerals necessary for the human body. Among them: vitamins of group A (carotene, which improves our vision), B and PP (accompany the normal functioning of metabolic processes in body and regulate the functioning of the nervous system), vitamin C (to maintain immunity), even vitamin E, which slows down aging organism.

Also, zucchini contains pectin, which contribute to the elimination of tokins from the body and vital minerals: potassium, magnesium, iron, sodium, phosphorus. The combination of certain minerals, such as sodium and potassium, has a slight diuretic effect, while ascorbic acid combined with iron will prevent anemia.

The range of application of zucchini is unimaginably wide, both in the food industry and in the prevention of various diseases in humans.

Along with the fact that zucchini has a beneficial effect on the human digestive system, regardless of gender and age, it is also pointwise useful for women, men and children.

For the female half of humanity, the usefulness of a vegetable is expressed in the following aspects:

· Firstly, low-calorie content and a high degree of assimilation of the product, which makes it permitted for use during any diet and allows you to diversify your diet;

· Secondly, it is the effect on hormonal changes, which is no less important in the menopausal period;

· Thirdly, zucchini reduces the risk of venous stasis and, as a result, varicose veins.

Importantthat even while waiting for the baby and breastfeeding, squash must be present in the mother's diet. I myself, now a nursing mother, and very actively use this vegetable. I use it in a wide variety of variations: bake, make rolls, vegetable stew, caviar.

It should be noted that zucchini are also used for cosmetic purposes. Used as a mask, both raw and boiled. Zucchini mask whitens the skin, makes it younger and fresher.

The male half of humanity often suffers from high cholesterol levels, and here the zucchini again enters the "battle", removing the same "bad" cholesterol. Thanks to zucchini, testerone is produced - a man's sex hormone, the risk of stroke is reduced, and the condition of the liver improves.

Men, on the other hand, often underestimate zucchini, consider it a herb, do not like it or eat it. From my own experience, my husband doesn't like zucchini either.

For children, zucchini is the first step in a "new" meal, it is from the zucchini that from 4 months old you can introduce baby food. Again, from personal experience, my baby is already a year old, but since 4 months we are happy to eat squash puree. Now she is already eating homemade squash caviar with us.

Zucchini juice is useful even for people with various diseases: diabetes mellitus, gastritis, hemorrhoids, cholecystitis. The antioxidant properties of the vegetable prevent the occurrence of atherosclerosis and even cancer.

An important point in eating zucchini is the way it is prepared. For diseases, gentle methods are recommended: cooking, baking, steaming.

To summarize, I want to add, eat zucchini with the whole family and be healthy, beautiful and young!
