Why do I love pumpkin let me tell you the ways lol

when you think of pumpkins you think of pumpkin spice lattes and jack-o-lanters, or maybe even a costco pumpkin pie hahah come September I swear there all over the place !

But did you know the endless health benefits that pumpkins have? Your love the jelly, belly stupid round things even more after you read this 😛

1.Pumpkins are rich in fibre , one cup of puree pumpkin is more than two slices of whole grain bread , plus it keeps you filling fuller longer

2. Pumpkin is a low cal super star as well with less than 50 calories per serving

3. They come in all shapes and sizes just like people the reason why I love em the most !  That’s  Mrs. cannon’s Kitchen fact lol

4.Pumpkins are packed in beta Carotene which converts to vitamin A in the body,perfect for Skin & optical health! One cup of pumpkin contains over 200 percent of most peoples recommended daily vitamin A intake!

5.Better Immunity ! A large dose or the P is a large dose of Vitamin A again which can help fight and ward off bacterial and fungal infections . Plus pumpkin is packed with 20 percent of the recommend vitamin C intake thus fighting off cold season have your pumpkin in hand

6. Don’t throw out the seeds! The seeds are packed with a variety of magnisum, protein, help fight free radicals , Zinc for immune support, Omega -3’s theses little babies have it all!
