Zucchini is a low-calorie vegetable, containing more than 94% water, rich in minerals such as vitamin A, potassium and magnesium, and more cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin and pectin.

Although these substances can not be hydrolyzed by human digestive enzymes, they can promote intestinal peristalsis, facilitate fecal excretion, effectively relieve habitual constipation symptoms and achieve weight loss. Zucchini can be used as vegetable soup, but eating zucchini raw is better than cooking to lose weight.
