Pumpkin seeds benefits.                                    Pumpkin seeds, also known as pepitas, are highly nutritious and offer a wide range of health benefits, including support for heart health, improved sleep, enhanced immune function, and better digestive health.             Key Nutritional Benefits.                                 Pumpkin seeds are an excellent source of magnesium, zinc, iron, protein, healthy fats, and fiber.                                                         They also provide important antioxidants such as flavonoids, phenolic acids, and carotenoids which combat oxidative stress and inflammation.                                             Health Benefits Overview.                               Heart Health:                                                  High levels of magnesium and unsaturated fats in pumpkin seeds help regulate blood pressure, reduce LDL (“bad”) cholesterol, and lower the risk of heart disease and stroke.                                                                   Anti-Inflammatory Effects:                        Their strong antioxidant content helps reduce inflammation and cellular damage, offering protection against chronic diseases like diabetes.                                                      Cancer Risk Reduction:                                Some studies suggest pumpkin seeds may support cancer prevention, particularly for breast and prostate cancer, possibly due to antioxidants and lignans they contain.           Prostate and Bladder Health:               Pumpkin seeds can alleviate symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and improve urinary function.                              Better Sleep:                                                    They are a natural source of tryptophan, magnesium, and zinc, which contribute to improved sleep quality and duration.             Improved Fertility and Sperm Health:      Rich in zinc and other nutrients that may help boost male fertility and restore sperm production, especially after certain medical treatments.                                                         Blood Sugar Control:                                       The magnesium content also aids in blood sugar management and reduces type 2 diabetes risk.                                           Digestive Health:                                          Their fiber content supports good digestion and regularity .
