Oh, how I love pumpkin anything. So I thought it would be great to do research on all the benefits. When I came across the information I spoke with Mel who encouraged me to speak with John. He was in complete agreement with all the benefits pumpkin has is to offer. So with that being said I thought it would be nice to make a post in the forum with the Nutrional benefits of pumpkin.
Full of antioxidants such as beta carotene, which is a pro vitamin that converts into Vitamin A. Antioxidants are a big help in fighting with chronic diseases, bacterial and fungal infections.
Pumpkin is loaded with fiber. This helps your stomach fill up and feel full longer. It could also helps with keeping blood sugar levels normal and it’s great for your stomach and digestive system.
It’s great for keeping your eyesight sharp and helps promote healthy skin.
Pumpkins have more potassium than banana! Yay!!
Helps to boost your mood. Because it’s full of the amino acid tryptophan, which converts into serotonin, this helps us with our positive moods! This is also found to be beneficial when it comes to getting a good nights rest.
Pumpkin has vitamin C which helps the immune system and also helps in boosting collagen which is also great for the skin.
Another benefit that it’s full of magnesium which is a huge bonus when it comes to relaxing and the digestive system.
Pumpkin has also been proven to help lower the risk of stomach cancer’s and it’s also found to be a great source of vitamin E, iron and folate.
These are just to name a few. I will admit I am a true pumpkin addict and I love using it in so many foods with baking, in my oatmeal, and even in my renaissance vanilla shake! Ha ha!!
