PUMPKIN DELIGHTS

Pumpkins are not just fun to carve at Halloween time; they have great nutritional value and special properties to support your health!

Just to name a few of the benefits, Pumpkin seeds are good for:
• Vascular health
• Prostate health
• Lowering the risk of bladder stones
• Reducing arthritic inflammation
• Anti-parasitic activity that helps cleanse the digestive system.

The season is here...so don’t just carve pumpkins, eat them, drink them, indulge!

Some easy ideas include: roasting the seeds, making pumpkin butter, delicious soups, pies, muffins, cookies, smoothies, and well, the list goes on. You can also find readily available pumpkin oils, butters, purees and powders to create your own recipes.
