Pumpkin Seeds Are Nutritious!

Seasonal Tips

While carving Jack-O'-Lanterns this Halloween, make sure you keep the seeds! While a pumpkin seed might seem small, they are powerful! Your body can benefit from a healthy dose of nutrient-rich pumpkin seeds, which contain magnesium, zinc, and healthy fats. Check out how pumpkin seeds benefit you and are a source of nutrition for a healthy Halloween.

Pumpkin Seeds Nutrition

The seeds inside pumpkins are called pepitas, and they are very different from the tough, white seeds you see when you gut a pumpkin on Halloween. The white seeds you are familiar with are actually the shell of the pepita. This is why most store-bought seeds have a different color and are much smaller in size. These seeds provide fiber, zinc, protein, magnesium, and much more in just one ounce! Additionally, pumpkin seeds contain antioxidants, polyunsaturated fats, folate, potassium, and Vitamin B2. What a powerhouse of pumpkin seed nutrition!

Helps Improve Bladder and Prostate Health

A condition known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) results in an enlarged prostate gland that makes it difficult to urinate. The seeds of pumpkin have been found to assist in reducing the symptoms of BPH and may also help to decrease the symptoms of an overactive bladder. In other words, pumpkin seeds enhance bladder function and prostate health.

Normalizes Blood Sugar Levels

Research has found that pumpkin seeds benefit animals by reducing blood sugar levels. Diabetes sufferers who struggle to maintain a healthy blood sugar level will greatly benefit from this. Pumpkin seeds are a great snack option for people with diabetes type 2.

They’re Packed With Fiber

Pumpkin seeds contain an abundance of fiber, which is essential to maintaining a healthy digestive system and controlling appetite. Whole pumpkin seeds, which still have their white shells on, contain about five grams of protein in just one ounce. A serving of those smaller pepita seeds contains less than two grams.

I have been going to Williamsburg Chiropractic for two months. It is clear that the doctors at this practice are dedicated to helping their patients feel the best that they can. I love that the intake process includes taking x-rays, as it provided me with a clear picture of my structural imbalances and helps me understand more deeply how the adjustments are helping to realign my spine. There are also incremental body scan check-ins which reveal the progress my nervous system is making as a result of the adjustments over time. The office is also very efficient with wait times. Highly recommend!

Williamsburg Chiropractic is a quality practice all around.The front desk staff are always kind and responsive, Dr. Hoffman & Dr. Thomas are informative and consistently demonstrate expertise in their field, and I've never had a single billing issue (even while using my medical insurance plan).I highly recommend scheduling an appointment with Williamsburg Chiropractic if you're experiencing any pain or discomfort - no matter the severity - as they may be able to help!

I suffered from a pinched nerve from my neck running down my arm for 3 months. It stopped me from working out which I had been doing daily. Went to a physical therapist for 2 of the 3 months. Did acupuncture regularly. Visited a neurologist. I did not want to take any medication to get rid of the pain, but nothing was working. Until I found Williamsburg Chiropractic.After very thorough examination and 1 week of treatment, we had established the reason for my pinched nerve and the pain had reduced by 60%. 2 weeks after that the pain was completely gone and I am now back to my routine of lifting heavy weights. BIG BIG thank you to the amazing people at Williamsburg Chiropractic. I am forever grateful and VERY HIGHLY recommend them to anyone suffering from any sort of body aches.

I tweaked my back weightlifting, and it was pretty painful to say the least. Within one session with Dr. Hoffman, I was in significantly less pain, and in two sessions in two days I was near back to normal. If you're debating a holistic route to pain, this is a great place to start. They x-ray you so they know exactly what they're working with and are very patient with explaining everything going on with your body. Would recommend!
