Pumpkin seeds, those little green treasures, offer more than you imagine. Ready to discover why they should be in your diet?


Amazing benefits of pumpkin seeds


1. Nutrient-rich

These seeds are full of magnesium, zinc, and iron. They help keep your bones strong, your immune system in shape, and your energy levels high. Who wouldn’t want that?

2. Happy heart

Thanks to their high content of antioxidants and healthy fatty acids, pumpkin seeds take care of your heart like a faithful guardian. Goodbye, bad cholesterol.


3. Better sleep

Having trouble sleeping? The tryptophan in pumpkin seeds can improve your rest. Say goodbye to sleepless nights.

If you have trouble sleeping, I suggest reading: I wake up at 3 a.m. and can’t go back to sleep: what can I do?

4. Digestive friend

The fiber in these seeds helps your digestive system run like Swiss clockwork. Hello, regularity!


But, how many should I eat?


Here comes the big question: how many pumpkin seeds are enough? Generally, a handful a day, which equals about 30 grams, is ideal.

Although pumpkin seeds are nutritious, there are some reasons to moderate their consumption:

Calories: They are calorie-dense. Consuming too many can add a lot of calories to your daily diet, which could lead to weight gain if not controlled.

Fats: Although they contain healthy fats, it’s important to remember they are still fats. Excess might not be the best for your diet.

Fiber: Their high fiber content can cause digestive discomfort if you eat too many at once, especially if your body isn’t used to it.

Allergies: Some people may have allergies or intolerances to the seeds. It’s always good to watch for any adverse reactions.

So, as with everything in life, the key is balance!

How to incorporate them?


Creativity has no limits! You can add them to your salads, yogurts, smoothies, or simply eat them alone. If you feel adventurous, try roasting them with a bit of salt and paprika for an irresistible snack.

Do you already consume pumpkin seeds? If not, what’s stopping you? Maybe it’s time to give them a chance. Ready to add a nutritious touch to your life?

Remember, although they are small, pumpkin seeds have a big impact. Your body will thank you!
