Pumpkin seeds may be small, but they pack a big nutritional punch!

These tiny powerhouses are loaded with:

• 🏅 Nutrient Powerhouse: Loaded with magnesium, iron, zinc, and fiber for overall health.

• ❤️ Heart Health: High in essential fatty acids and antioxidants, they help lower blood pressure and boost "good" cholesterol.

• 😴 Sleep Aid: Rich in tryptophan and magnesium, which can improve sleep quality.

• 🦴 Bone Strength: Packed with magnesium and phosphorus to support bone health.

• 🧡 Anti-Inflammatory: Contains antioxidants like vitamin E to reduce inflammation.

Aim for about an ounce (a handful) of raw, roasted, or sprouted pumpkin seeds daily to reap the benefits.
