Nutrition Facts
A study on the effects of a gardening program on quality of life in cancer survivors showed that gardening helped 75% of the participants boost their mood and manage depression during and after treatment.
An online survey of 41 cancer survivors showed that 4 out of 5 survivors who garden find it helpful for providing a distraction from treatment and for reducing anxiety and stress. The survey respondents also reported that gardening helped them manage their weight and give them more energy during and after treatment.
Zucchini is an excellent source of antioxidant vitamins and minerals such as vitamin C and manganese, and a good source of vitamin A. Vitamin C helps boost the immune system and is needed to form collagen, a protein required for healthy bones and skin. Manganese is needed to form and maintain strong bones and for blood clotting. It is also essential for healthy brain and nerve function. Vitamin A helps prevent macular degeneration, a decline of eyesight due to aging.
