  • Vitamin A is an antioxidant that promotes healthy vision, cell division, growth, reproduction, and immunity, according to Mayo Clinic.
  • Vitamin K: Bernard F1's high ****vitamin K content helps bones stay strong and healthy, which you can learn more about in this NCBI report.
  • Dietary fiber: According to Mayo Clinic, dietary fiber has the ability to help maintain a healthy weight and decrease one's risk of heart disease and diabetes, as well as certain types of cancer. Any parts of our zucchini F1 hybrid that your body can't digest are what's known as insoluble fiber, which promotes the movement of materials through the body's digestive system for normal, healthy bowel movements.
  • Folate is a B vitamin naturally present in our Squash Smart Green F1 Hybrid. According to the National Institutes of Health, folate potentially plays a role in several diseases and disorders, including autism spectrum disorder (ASD), cancer, heart disease and stroke, dementia, cognitive function, Alzheimer's disease, depression, and more. Get more facts on folate and health from the NIH's website here.
  • Potassium is vital for human cells to function properly. It regulates the heartbeat, ensures muscles and nerves are working as they should, and is crucial for metabolizing carbohydrates and synthesizing proteins. Diets consisting of higher potassium intake help to regulate blood pressure and have been associated with a lower stroke incidence, according to Harvard Health Publishing.
  • Magnesium, according to Harvard Health Publishing, is involved in over 300 chemical reactions in the body. It is absolutely crucial for the daily functioning of muscles, nerves, the heart, and the immune system. Magnesium deficiency is the source of many digestive disorders, including celiac disease. When it comes to promoting a healthy mind and body, our Bernard F1 Squash Hybrid is ripe for the picking.
