Get ready to reap the benefits of this autumnal fruit.
Pumpkin offers a wealth of nutritional benefits.If you’re looking for a simple way to boost your immunity as we head into cold and flu season, look no further than the humble pumpkin.
As well as being rich in vitamin C – which helps the immune system function more effectively – pumpkin is also a good source of beta carotene, which the body relies on to create vitamin A. This vitamin also plays a key role in bolstering the immune system.Because pumpkin is a good source of beta-carotene, it’s also great for eye health. This is because the vitamin A which is produced from beta carotene helps to keep the surface of the eye, or cornea, moist and healthy.
Beta-carotene, which is also found in other orange foods such as carrots and sweet potatoes, can also enhance your night and peripheral vision.Pumpkins, especially the seeds, are a rich source of magnesium. This key mineral plays an important role in many different areas of the body, including supporting muscle and nerve function and energy production.
It also contributes to increased bone density and can help to prevent osteoporosis, a condition which disproportionately affects women. Sign up for the latest news and must-read features from Stylist, so you don't miss out on the conversation.
