Pumpkins have historically been linked to the fall season, no doubt because that is when they grow best, but also because of their connection with Halloween. So, since today is Wellness Wednesday, I decided that it would be a good idea to tell you all some of the health benefits associated with this festive fall fruit (yes, pumpkin is a fruit)! 1. PUMPKINS HELP KEEP YOUR EYES SHARPWe’ve all heard that carrots have the ability to keep are eyesight at its best. This is actually thanks to carotenoids, the pigment responsible for giving carrots their orange color. This same pigment is found in pumpkins. So, if you eat pumpkin, you’re getting those benefits. Carotenoids are, according to EJ Johnson, thought to “provide health benefits in decreasing the risk of disease, particularly certain cancers and eye disease.” So, if you’ve yet to consume some pumpkin, you should get on that soon! 2. IT CAN DRY UP OILY SKINAccording to StyleCraze.com, one face treatment using the power of the pumpkin can keep your face from getting oily. All you have to do, according to the site, is mix a tablespoon of pureed pumpkin with a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar. Dampen your face and apply the mask. Leave it until it is dried (up to 30 minutes) and rinse. Repeat this for an oil-free face! 3. IT MAKES RESTLESS NIGHTS DISAPPEAR
4. IT CAN ZAP AWAY YOUR ACNE
5. ITS SEEDS CAN STOP HEART DISEASE IN ITS TRACKSIf you’re not too fond of eating the gooey contents of the pumpkin, you can always munch on this squash’s seeds. Pumpkin seeds are high in phytosterols. This is a molecule that is closely related to cholesterol. However, the phytosterols are actually better for you than cholesterol. Their close relation actually makes them the perfect thing to fight and reduce bad cholesterol in your body! 6. HELPS YOU GROW LONG, LUSCIOUS LOCKS
7. PUMPKINS ARE A SUPER FOODCONCLUSIONSo, now you know the incredible benefits of eating or using pumpkin! I hope you feel inspired to give this super squash a try.
