Pumpkins are usually treated as a great decor item or a source for a nifty craft. Why not start enjoy them as a regular food item in our daily life?

Pumpkins are a wonderful source of many benefits. All come from them being an amazing natural source of fiber, vitamin A, seed oil, zinc and a ton of flavonoids and antioxidants that our human nature hasn’t discovered yet!

Eat pumpkins year round, especially when they are in season. Which means, it now and will last through the end of November.

Here’s a breakdown of some of the ingredients that pumpkins own and their benefits.

Fiber

Wow, this is my #1 on any list. Fiber is one of the vital components for our body to hum and be well. Fiber serves as food for the good gut bacteria without which we cannot survive. Fiber is  must when we wish to maintain a healthy weight and feel full during the day. Fiber allows our blood sugar to stay balanced.

Vitamin A

Yes, pumpkins are loaded in vitamin A – eat it to protect your eyes from any decrease in vision. This vitamin promotes good vision, especially in dim light. And those who are crazy about the health and look of their skin – vitamin A is a must! Plus, include the health of your teeth and bones that benefit from vitamin A consumption.

Tryptophan

Wanting more zz’s in your life? Eat pumpkin seeds that boast of tryptophan. This chemical within our body helps to produce serotonin, the one that makes us feel good, relax and calm. Feeling like that will make us better people in no time!

Zinc

Pumpkin seed oil is rich in zinc which contributes to make sexual health. Production of testosterone and maintaining its optimal levels are serious concerns for each man. Share a cup of pumpkin seeds with your lovie and tell him about the benefits, too!

Pumpkins are good! They are delicious! Add seeds and pumpkin meat into your salads, soups, and even teas. I’ll share how to make Pumpkin Honey in your own home!
