Carve out some health

It’s pumpkin season! Fresh-roasted pumpkin seeds are delicious, easy to extract and prepare, and chock-full of good stuff. The seeds contain myriad minerals and other substances that benefit healthfulness, including:

• Tryptophan, which can help with sleep.

• Magnesium, another relaxant that also aids heart health.

• Proteins that help stabilize blood sugar.

• Phytosterol and abundant Omega 3s, which help bring down bad cholesterol.

• Zinc (and Omega 3s), which help keep the prostate healthy.

• Fiber, which normalizes bowel movements and aids in achieving or maintaining a healthy weight.
