Zucchini has a variety of health benefits: it contains good amounts of potassium that help reduce blood pressure, and the high-fibre content helps lower cholesterol. Zucchini is also a good source of vitamin C and carotenoids including beta-carotene, zeaxanthin and lutein, which are powerful antioxidants; and zucchini can also benefit the skin giving it a glow and restoring its moisture.
