Pumpkins are a source of vitamins A and C, along with zinc, helping to lower cholesterol and improve heart health by strengthening the immune system. The antioxidants, occurring naturally in pumpkins, help protect and strengthen the heart.

The potassium and magnesium in pumpkins may help the heart by lowering blood pressure. These heart-healthy minerals have been shown to help maintain a healthy, regular heartbeat while avoiding an abnormal heart rhythm along with supporting over-all heart health.

The pumpkin may assist in weight-loss by being low-sodium, low-fat, and low-cholesterol. Pumpkins are also a good source of fiber, which may help remove cholesterol from the body, regulate blood sugar, and help to give the full feeling longer.
