Regular use of pumpkin seeds improves the functioning of the nervous system and kidneys, and also has a beneficial effect on men’s health.
Publika.az informs that therapist and nutritionist Yelena Tikhomirova said these words in an interview to “Izvestia” newspaper. The doctor said that pumpkin seeds are a unique product due to their composition. According to him, 60 grams, that is, a handful of seeds, contains magnesium, which is useful for relaxing the nervous system and muscles, phosphorus, which is important for bone health, as well as cobalt, manganese and copper, which are necessary for the process of hematopoiesis. In addition, Tikhomirova noted that the product is also rich in chromium and zinc.
“Chromium is necessary for the regulation of carbohydrate metabolism in the blood and helps reduce appetite. Zinc is a mineral that participates in spermatogenesis and improves the production of male sex hormones and sperm. Therefore, pumpkin seeds can be called a natural aphrodisiac,” the nutritionist emphasized.
Finally, the doctor added that pumpkin seeds are effective in any form. But remember that they are quite high in calories, like nuts, so you shouldn’t overdo it.
