Strengthen Your Vision

Including zucchini in your diet may help your vision. This is due in part to zucchini's high levels of vitamin C and beta-carotene, both of which are essential for eye health. The antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin are also found in zucchini. According to research, these antioxidants can build up in your retina, enhancing your eyesight and lowering your risk of age-related eye illnesses.

This may include a decreased risk of macular degeneration, the major cause of permanent vision loss in the elderly. Furthermore, diets high in lutein and zeaxanthin may reduce your risk of getting cataracts, a clouding of the lens that can lead to impaired vision.
