Toasted Seed with Salt

Pumpkin seeds (commonly known as pevides), small greenish seeds covered in a whitish-yellow husk, promote good bowel function due to their fiber content. Adding them to snacks or salads is an excellent option. 

They are a rich food, as they contain a wide variety of nutrients that are beneficial to health. 

Eating just a small amount can provide a substantial amount of healthy fats, magnesium, and zinc. Therefore, pumpkin seeds are associated with several health benefits. 

Furthermore, these seeds can be easily incorporated into your diet. The most common way is as a snack, but there are other equally tasty and healthy ways. 

Benefits of Roasted Seeds with Salt

THEY ARE A GOOD SOURCE OF MAGNESIUM 

 Pumpkin seeds are exceptionally High in magnesium. Two tablespoons of pumpkin seeds contain 74mg of magnesium, about 25% of the recommended daily intake.
Magnesium plays an important role in over 300 enzymatic reactions within the body, including the metabolism of food and the synthesis of fatty acids and proteins.
Furthermore, magnesium is vital for proper muscle function and bone formation. High magnesium intake is associated with greater bone density and has been shown to reduce the risk of developing osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. 

PROMOTE HEALTHY SLEEP 

Pumpkin seeds provide tryptophan, an amino acid used to treat chronic insomnia.
Our body transforms tryptophan into serotonin and melatonin, known relaxing hormones which promotes rest and quality sleep.
This food is also an excellent source of B vitamins and contains glutamate, the compound used to produce GABA for the brain. GABA is the neurotransmitter anti-stress which helps inhibit arousal.
