​ Health Benefits of Pumpkin Seeds

04 Nov 2021 by Ted Escobedo   1 min read
Pumpkin seeds may be small, but they’re packed full of valuable nutrients. Eating only a small amount of them can provide you with a substantial quantity of healthy fats, magnesium and zinc. Because of this, pumpkin seeds have been associated with several health benefits. These include improved heart health, prostate health and protection against certain cancers. And because pumpkin seeds are rich in magnesium, they may help with regulating your blood pressure and blood sugar levels. So, next time you are craving a salty snack, forgo the chips and tostadas and try pumpkin seeds. If you eat seeds and nuts regularly, you may want to soak or sprout them to reduce their phytic acid content. Roasting them may help as well.
