Is pumpkin good for you?

Pumpkin has several health benefits including aiding weight loss, improving vision and enhancing immunity. Pumpkin also makes skin look younger, reduces the risk of cancer and may assist in diabetes treatment.

Pumpkin is beneficial for weight loss because it slows digestion. Pumpkin is naturally high in fiber, which lengthens the feeling of fullness after eating. Pumpkin is also very low in calories and is about 90 percent water. Pumpkin has vision benefits due to the high level of beta-carotene that the human body converts to vitamin A, a key ingredient for eye health. Vitamin A also minimizes infections, viruses and diseases.
