PUMPKIN SEEDS (ROASTED)

Health Benefits of Pumpkin Seeds

1. Heart Healthy: Pumpkin seeds are rich in magnesium, which helps keep your blood pressure in check and lowers the risk of heart attack. They can also decrease the risk of stroke.

2. Rich in Vitamin A: Just one serving of  pumpkin seeds provides 100 percent of your daily supply of vitamin A, which promotes healthy bones and better vision.

3. High in Zinc: Zinc pumps up your health by helping you sleep better, fighting acne, lowering risk of prostate cancer and keeping you immune to common colds and flu. If you are pregnant, zinc can guard against low birth weight for your baby.

4. Better Sleep: Pumpkin seeds contain the amino acid tryptophan, which your body converts into melatonin. This hormone helps calm your brain and lets you get a good night’s sleep.
