Recipe with pumpkin
Pumpkin is one of ?autumn?s signature squashes and now as we are in pumpkin season we should celebrate this beautiful vegetable.
You can eat it cooked or raw and so the possibilities are endless and mouthwatering.
Here are my favourite health benefits of pumpkin:
-???????? keeps the eyesight sharp. ?It is a great source of beta-carotene, which the body converts to vitamin A so it helps keep the eyes functioning properly
-???????? pumpkins aid weight loss. ?Pumpkin is an often overlooked source of fibre, but with the 3 grams per one cup and 49 calories, it can keep you feeling full for longer
-???????? pumpkin can help your heart.? Their rich array of nutrients counteract the cell damage that leads to heart disease
-???????? pumpkins can help before and after a workout. ?A great provider of energy-sustaining carbohydrates, squash contains high levels of the minerals potassium and magnesium, which help to maintain efficient energy production. ?A little extra potassium helps restore the body’s balance of electrolytes after a heavy workout and keeps muscles functioning at their best.
