Why Pumpkin is So Good For You!

Pumpkins belong to the squash family of produce and are also considered gourds and many people choose to also use them for fall decorations.  These orange beauties are full of vitamins, minerals, antioxidant, and fiber so adding them to a whole food diet is a great way and tasty way to add orange foods into your diet.

Vitamins

• Vitamin A (Beta-carotene): Beta-carotene is a powerful antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals and reduces oxidative stress and is also converted to vitamin A in the body.  Vitamin A  is essential in the health of your eyes, skin, bones, kidneys, and lungs.
• Vitamin B1 (thiamine): A water soluble vitamin that is essential in glucose metabolism and supports health heart and nervous system function.
• Vitamin B6:  A water soluble vitamin that is essential in metabolic pathways,  RBC production, and in the production of neurotransmitters.
• Vitamin B9 (folate):  A water soluble vitamin that is essential during pregnancy in the formation of the neural tube [1].

Minerals

• Calcium: The most abundant mineral in the body and is essential in heart health, muscle function and support strong bones and teeth.
• Copper: Essential mineral in the formation of red blood cells and in supporting cardiovascular health and immune function [2].
• Magnesium: The fourth most abundant mineral in the body, it support healthy nerve functions, healthy blood pressure, and detoxification.
• Manganese: Essential mineral in supporting blood sugar regulation, glucose metabolism, and supporting healthy brain and nerve function [3].
• Potassium: is the third most abundant mineral in your body and functions like an electrolyte (positively charged) once consumed.  Electrolytes are important in their role in healthy nerve conduction and muscle contractions.

Pumpkins are a great source of fiber (about 2.5 grams in 1 cup of mashed pumpkin!) containing both soluble and insoluble fiber!

• Insoluble fiber supports healthy digestion and movement through the GI tract.
• Soluble fiber supports a healthy microbiome and supports health blood sugars.
