Pumpkin Seeds Are Good For Health
All over the world, seeds are delicious and nutritious, and they are available almost all year long. However, these subtly sweet and nutty with a malleable, chewy texture, pumpkin seeds are the freshest in the fall when pumpkins are in season. Some varieties of seeds are covered in yellow-white husks, while others are produced without covers or shells.
Pumpkin Seeds Benefits
Lower Cholesterol: The plant comprises compounds called phytosterols that have a chemical structure similar to cholesterol. Being high in phytosterols, when consumed these seeds reduce the levels of cholesterol, improve the immune response and minimize the risks of certain cancers.
The anti-inflammatory properties of pumpkin seeds make them beneficial for people suffering from arthritis and other chronic conditions caused by inflammation. These seeds reduce inflammation and swelling when used in conjunction with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like indomethacin.
* Bone Health: Being rich in zinc, pumpkin seeds help improve bone density, especially in men. Men account for about 30 percent of all hip fractures, despite osteoporosis being extremely prevalent in elderly women. Researchers have found that low zinc levels may lead to degeneration of the hips and spine.
Prostate Health: Benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) is most common in older men. As a result of overstimulation of the prostate cells by testosterone and its conversion product, DHT (dihydrotestosterone), the prostate gland enlarges. The pumpkin seed constituents like carotenoids and omega-3 fats interrupt this triggering of prostate cell multiplication by testosterone and DHT and provide potential prostate benefits. Therefore, men who consume more carotenoids in their diet are less likely to develop BPH or enlarged prostates.
* Anti-Oxidative Properties: The main healthful benefits of pumpkin nutrition are the large quantities of antioxidants and beta-carotene present in pumpkin. Antioxidants help in removing free radicals from the body, hence reducing the risks of cancer and other diseases, and beta-cartoene converts into vitamin A which strengthens our immune system.
Pumpkin seeds prevent kidney stones and also promote good brain health and function, thus combating depression.
