      WHY YOU SHOULD EAT PUMPKIN SEEDS: 

      Pumpkin seeds are full of antioxidants that may help protect against disease and reduce inflammation. Studies have shown that they may reduce symptoms of benign prostate enlargement and an overactive bladder. They are also high in magnesium, which is important for blood pressure, blood sugar levels, as well as heart and bone health. Also, nutrients in pumpkin seeds may help keep your heart healthy by reducing blood pressure and increasing good cholesterol.  

      A 28g serving of pumpkin seeds has 7g of protein, 5g of carbohydrate and 13g of good fats (6 of which are omega-6s).
