Besides, there are more positive effects associated with eating this delicious food, following are some of the most noteworthy:

1. Good For Your Eyesight

As you may already know, vitamin A is essential to good vision. Luckily, pumpkin is packed full of vitamin A, so a healthy dose of pumpkin can actually help improve your vision. Pumpkin contains beta-carotene, a carotenoid responsible for its orange coloration, which the body metabolizes into vitamin A to aid in improving and retaining eyesight.

2. Promote Heart Health

Pumpkin seeds contain phytosterols, which naturally reduce harmful cholesterol. Include the seeds in your fall festivities to reduce the risk of heart attacks and improve overall heart health.

3. Aid In Weight Loss

Fiber is an effective dieting tool, as it promotes feelings of fullness so you can be content with eating less. Pumpkin is a fiber-rich food, so feel good about indulging as it will not cause weight gain like many other popular holiday foods.

4. Protect Your Skin

Another benefit of carotenoids is their ability to neutralize free radicals, which are notorious for causing wrinkles and various other skin problems. Eat plenty of pumpkin to keep your skin looking young and healthy.

5. Boost Your Immune System

While there is some debate as to whether or not vitamin C plays a role in disease prevention, the vitamin C content of pumpkin can surely do your body some good in terms of strengthening the immune system.

6. Good For Workout Recovery

You may have heard that potassium does a great job of refueling the body after a strenuous workout by initiating the muscle recovery process. While most gym-goers choose bananas as their snack of choice, pumpkin surprisingly has a higher potassium content than its yellow counterpart and therefore can be even more beneficial to your post-workout routine.

7. As A Mood Enhancer

Tryptophan is a chemical most notably associated with turkey due to the lazy contentment felt after a hefty Thanksgiving meal, but pumpkin seeds are also a great source of this amino acid. Tryptophan is a precursor to serotonin, which is widely known as the “happy” chemical with regards to the brain’s neurochemistry. It is responsible for mood regulation, and increased serotonin is correlated with a better mood.
