1. Rich Nutritional Profile:
Zinc: Essential for prostate health, as the prostate gland contains high concentrations of zinc. Adequate zinc levels help reduce the risk of prostate enlargement and inflammation.
Phosphorus, Iron, and Calcium: Support overall bodily functions and bone health.
Amino Acids: Such as tryptophan, which may support mood and sleep.
Vitamins A and B1: Support cell repair, immunity, and energy metabolism.
2. Testosterone and Sexual Health:
The nutrients in pumpkin seeds, especially zinc, support testosterone production, which may positively influence sexual health and activity in men.
3. Prostate Health:
Studies suggest that the combination of antioxidants, zinc, and fatty acids in pumpkin seeds may reduce the risk of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and support prostate function.
Suggested Use:
Eating three tablespoons of raw or roasted pumpkin seeds daily (without added salt) is a practical way to incorporate these benefits.
