by Charlie Pulsipher
Sunwarrior, 27 February 2013
Pumpkins are rich in beta carotene and can be used in more ways than just making a seasonal pie. Pumpkin can be used in breads, soups, granola, salads, waffles, guacamole, and much more. Don�t forget the seeds though; pumpkin seeds are packed with nutrition.
Natural Anti-Parasitic � Pumpkin seeds have been used to treat parasites for thousands of years in ancient China. Pumpkin seeds help the body expel parasites, especially tapeworms and round worms. These seeds also have antifungal and antiviral properties.
Prostate Health � Pumpkin seeds contain phytosterols that protect the prostrate, along with compounds that lower the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone.
Bladder Problems � Incontinence, frequent urination, and overactive bladders affect the lives of many people, especially as we age. Pumpkin seeds naturally alleviate many of these symptoms.
Kidney Stones � Several studies show that eating pumpkin seeds as a snack helps prevent a couple types of common kidney stones by removing substances that encourage their formation.
