Pumpkin Power

Aside from being seasonally festive, pumpkin is a highly nutrient-dense food that is rich in vitamins and minerals but low in calories.

There are many ways pumpkin can be incorporated into desserts, soups, salads, preserves, and even as a substitute for butter. Yummy!

It is one of the best sources of beta-carotene, which is a powerful antioxidant. In fact, it gives orange vegetables and fruits their vibrant color.

The body converts any ingested beta-carotene into vitamin A. We need vitamin A for healthy skin and mucus membranes, which help boost our immune system.

 Consuming foods rich in beta-carotene may reduce the risk of developing certain types of cancer, offer protection against asthma and heart disease, and delay aging and body degeneration.
