Putting aside zucchini’s delicious, crunchy flavor, it is low in calories. A whole cup of zucchini only contains 35 calories. Plus, it’s rich in vitamins A and C which serve as powerful antioxidants AND anti-inflammatory agents, helping to prevent flus and colds and other diseases that exhaust you. Zucchini’s fiber helps lower your cholesterol.
