HEALTH BENEFITS OF PUMPKIN

Pumpkin has numerous benefits, including;

Improving immunity

Pumpkin is loaded with valuable nutrients, such as, beta carotene, vitamins C and E, folate, and iron, which are wonderful for added immunity. It suggests that frequent pumpkin consumption can promote cells function in eliminating germs, reducing inflammation, and accelerating healing.

Betters sleep

Did you know that we not only benefit from eating pumpkin itself but also the seeds? Yes, its seeds contain tryptophan compound, which produces serotonin- a chemical that improves mood, calms the body, and promotes sound sleep.

A plus to your eyesight

Pumpkin has a lot of vitamin A, which is good for sight. A cup of pumpkin supplies more than 100% of the required daily intake, thus helping see better, especially in low light areas.

Improves complexion

If you are looking to sharpen your skin tone, eat pumpkin. As mentioned earlier, it has beta carotene that promotes general health, including lessening aging signs and inflammation that possibly damage the skin. This leaves you with a beautiful and brighter complexion.
