Pumpkin Seed
1. High in antioxidants
Pumpkin seeds are rich in antioxidants like flavonoids and phenolic acids. They also contain small amounts of vitamin E and carotenoids.
Antioxidants can reduce inflammation and protect your cells from harmful free radicals. For this reason, consuming foods rich in antioxidants can help protect against many diseases.
2. Very high in magnesium
Pumpkin seeds are one of the best natural sources of magnesium, a mineral that is often lacking in the diets of many Western populations.
In the United States, around 48% of adults have a magnesium intake below the recommended daily amount.
Magnesium is needed for more than 600 chemical reactions in your body. Adequate levels of magnesium are also important for:
controlling blood pressure
reducing heart disease risk
forming and maintaining healthy bones
regulating blood sugar levels
3. Can lower blood sugar levels
Some older animal studies have shown that pumpkin, pumpkin seeds, pumpkin seed powder, and pumpkin juice can reduce blood sugar.
One study in healthy adults found that those who consumed meals containing 65 g (about 2 oz) of pumpkin seeds had lower blood sugar levels after a high carb meal.
Interestingly, the high magnesium content of pumpkin seeds may be responsible for its positive effect on diabetes.
One large observational study found that people who consumed the highest amount of magnesium had a 15% lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes than those who consumed the lowest amount over a 28-year period.
Still, more research is needed to confirm these beneficial effects of pumpkin seeds on blood sugar levels.
