🔹 Health Benefits of Pumpkin Seeds

Pumpkin seeds are small but highly concentrated in nutrients, offering different benefits than the pulp:

Natural dewormer: Traditionally, pumpkin seeds have been used to eliminate intestinal parasites, particularly tapeworms. Their active compound, cucurbitacin, paralyzes the worms, facilitating their natural elimination from the body.

Prostate benefits: Pumpkin oil and seeds have been extensively studied for their beneficial effects on prostate health. Regular consumption helps reduce urinary frequency and discomfort associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

Rich in nutrients, they are an excellent source of zinc, magnesium, iron, and protein, essential for supporting the immune system, blood health, and proper muscle function.

Heart health: Their omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants help lower cholesterol and protect cardiovascular health.

Restful sleep.
Pumpkin seeds are rich in tryptophan, an amino acid that promotes better sleep by stimulating the production of serotonin and melatonin.
