Chayote is good for you for the skin because it has antioxidants that fight free radicals and lead to skin aging. It also improves acne by controlling oil production.
Vitamin C and zinc are nutrients that strengthen the body's natural defenses, reducing the chance of contracting infections such as colds and flu.
The fibers present in chayote help maintain blood sugar levels, making them suitable for diabetics.
