Pumpkin!
We have all carved a jack o latern, sampled pumpkin pie, but pumpkin is one of those things that we do not use enough of. Why do we say this?
According to http://healthyeating.sfgate.com/health-benefits-eating-pumpkin-puree-4645.html, they state that pumpkin can effect the following systems:
Digestive System
If your diet is like the average American's, you don't get enough fiber. You should consume between 20 and 35 grams of fiber each day, according to the Harvard School of Public Health, but many people don't get more than 15 grams. Fiber helps you digest your food efficiently, which helps your body absorb the nutrients from your food. Getting enough fiber can keep you from getting constipated as well. One cup of pumpkin puree provides you with 7.1 grams of dietary fiber. Pumpkin puree contains about 10 percent of your daily requirement for potassium as well. You need adequate amounts of potassium to support healthy digestion.
Immunity
A 1-cup serving of pumpkin puree supplies 3.4 grams of iron, a mineral that helps keep you from getting sick by supporting a strong immune system. This is about 43 percent of the 8 milligrams men need each day, and about 20 percent of the 18 milligrams women need. You also get about 15 percent of your daily vitamin E needs from a serving of pumpkin puree. Vitamin E keeps your immune system working properly and also protects your cells from damage that can lead to certain types of disease, such as cancer.
With all of these things,this is why Pure Path always reccomends a healthy des of pumpkin each and every day all year round. However it does show with the immunne system functions how nature makes sure that the right hings grow at the right time of year.
