A superfood which is nutritious and adaptable, Pumpkin is high in fibre, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. The majority of pumpkin's health advantages are centred on its fibre content and micronutrients, such as beta carotene and vitamin A. Pumpkin is both healthy and low in calories and more adaptable than you may assume. It may be used in both savoury and sweet recipes. The expert Dt. Vidhi Chawla, Founder of Fisico Diet and Skin Clinic, shares the surprising benefits of pumpkin that you might have not known.
Nutritional Powerhouse: Pumpkins are abundant in key nutrients and low in calories. They are high in vitamins A, C, and E, as well as magnesium, potassium, and dietary fibre. These nutrients assist in good eyesight, the immune system, heart health, and digestion.
Rich in Antioxidants: Pumpkins are high in antioxidants like beta-carotene, which gives them their brilliant orange colour. Antioxidants help the body neutralise damaging free radicals, lowering the chance of chronic illnesses such as heart disease and some malignancies.
Heart Health: Pumpkins' fibre, potassium, and vitamin C levels are all good for heart health. Fibre aids in the reduction of cholesterol, whereas potassium aids in the regulation of blood pressure. Vitamin C is an antioxidant that promotes blood vessel health.
Weight Management: Pumpkins are lower in calories and high in fibre, making them an excellent component for a weight-loss diet. The fibre content keeps you fuller for longer, lowering your risks of overeating.
Hydration: Because pumpkins have a high amount of water, they are a hydrating dietary option. Hydration is necessary for several body activities, including digestion, circulation, and temperature control.
