Benefits of Green Courgette<\/h3>\n

Helps you lose weight<\/strong><\/p>\n

Its low calorie content makes it recommended for weight-loss diets, although this value depends on how it's prepared. When fried, it can double its calorie count because it readily absorbs oil.<\/p>\n

It is digestive<\/strong><\/p>\n

Due to its rich content of mucilage (a type of fiber), this vegetable has emollient properties, which help with digestion. It also has a mild laxative effect and is recommended for people with stomach problems, indigestion, gastritis, and constipation.<\/p>\n

It is beneficial for the heart<\/strong><\/p>\n

It has beneficial effects on the kidneys due to its high
\npotassium level and low sodium (salt) level. It is recommended for
\npeople suffering from any kidney or cardiovascular pathology and
\nhypertension, because it helps to normalize blood pressure levels.<\/p>\n

Versatility in the kitchen<\/strong><\/p>\n

Courgettes can be prepared in a thousand ways: boiled, saut\u00e9ed,
\nfried, baked, stuffed or gratin, in salads and soups or as
\naccompaniment to meat or fish.<\/p>\n
