Its everything pumpkin season.
But have you ever wondered, “Is pumpkin good for me?”
It turns out, Pumpkin itself is good for us. Its what we do to it that makes it bad. All the creams, sugars…
But Pumpkin is very healthy
Pumpkin contains Lutein, which reduces the risk of heart disease and stroke, and age related macular degeneration.
And pumpkin is orange. You know what that means, right?
It means pumpkins contain beta carotene – a powerful anti oxidant that is said to help prevent many cancers including prostate and lung cancers.
Pumpkins are high in potassium which is important for heart health.
They contain Zinc, which is important for your immune system and bone health.
Pumpkins contain a lot of fiber to help keep your body running smoothly.
Pumpkins contain lots of anti-oxidant vitamins A and C, and alpha hydroxy acids which makes pumpkin great great for healthy, glowing, anti aging skin. Hey, that’s the most important benefit to me 😉
We love pumpkin pancakes, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin bread, and of course, pumpkin pie!
