Zucchini is more useful, rich in fiber and has a positive effect on the state of the intestines and immunity.

As for eggplants, they strengthen the walls of blood vessels and are also rich in silicon.

Speaking of tomatoes, they reduce the risk of cancer and have a positive effect on the cardiovascular system. But you shouldn't eat more than three medium-sized fruits a day, otherwise you can increase stomach acidity.
