Pumpkin seeds are not just an old-fashioned snack, but a source of high-quality plant protein and antioxidants, nutritionist Beth Chervoni reminded. According to her, consuming the product helps protect individuals from various diseases, including cancer.
The so-called essential amino acids are primarily obtained from meat. It is difficult to find an equivalent among plant products. But seeds can handle this as well. They should definitely be added to the diet if meat cannot be consumed for ethical or medical reasons.
At the same time, pumpkin seeds help stabilize blood sugar levels, normalize blood pressure, and strengthen the cardiovascular system with the help of magnesium, zinc, and fatty acids. And considering that the seeds also contain tryptophan, sleep problems can certainly be left in the past, said the nutritionist in an interview with Heilpraxisnet.
But the most important property of the product is its anti-tumor effect. Scientists have established that seeds are effective in cancer prevention due to the substance cucurmosin. It suppresses the malignancy of cells.
