Pumpkin seeds medicinal properties

People usually eat pumpkin seeds as snacks, but most people don’t know about the medicinal value of pumpkin seeds. In fact, eating pumpkin seeds on a regular basis can effectively protect the prostate and gum atrophy, but eating too many pumpkin seeds can cause inflammation and tooth damage, etc. Therefore, we should consume pumpkin seeds in moderation for their medicinal value. Excessive consumption will cause trouble to the body.

There are four benefits of eating pumpkin seeds

1. Pumpkin seeds can effectively protect the prostate

Pumpkin seeds can effectively protect men's prostate because the prostate secretes a hormone, but it has to rely on fatty acids. It happens that pumpkin seeds contain fatty acids needed for prostate hormones. Therefore, eating pumpkin seeds has a good protective effect on the prostate and can also help eliminate some prostate diseases.

2. Pumpkin seeds have a good blood pressure lowering effect

Pumpkin seeds contain a large amount of pantothenic acid, which is what we usually call vitamin B5. Pantothenic acid can effectively help people relieve angina pectoris, and pumpkin seeds also have a strong blood pressure lowering effect for people with high blood pressure.

3. Pumpkin seeds are more effective for gum atrophy

As we age, gum atrophy will naturally occur. Pumpkin seeds contain a large number of nutrients, including phosphorus and vitamin E, which are related to human teeth.

For people with receding gums, consuming as many pumpkin seeds as possible can help improve gum health and avoid gum receding.

4. Pumpkin seeds can kill parasites in the body

Pumpkin seeds have a very good anthelmintic effect, and their therapeutic effect is good with very few side effects. Take pumpkin seeds on an empty stomach in the early morning, boil them with betel nuts an hour later, and then use magnesium sulfate as a laxative. Most patients will have the worms expelled after five or six hours. It is the preferred food therapy for schistosomiasis.
