Lowers Cholesterol

The dietary fiber contained in zucchini helps in lowering the cholesterol levels in the system by attaching itself with the bile acids that are produced by the liver for digesting fat.This fiber mixes with bile acid, thus slowing down its ability to digest more fat and charging the liver to produce more bile acids.More cholesterol is used up by the liver in the production of bile acids which results in lowering cholesterol levels in the body.The high levels of Vitamins A and C prevent the cholesterol from oxidizing in the blood vessels, thus reducing the risk of atherosclerosis.
