Pumpkins are good for more than just carving! Did you know the pulp of this fall favourite is dense with vitamins A and C, and its tasty seeds, called pepitas, are rich in phytosterols, which may help to lower cholesterol? With all the health benefits of pumpkins, don't they deserve to be more than a craft project that rots a few weeks later? Try a Google search for recipes for, say, roasted pepitas or pumpkin spread!
We get most of our Vitamin D from the sun, so our intake decreases when the weather is colder since we spend most of our time inside during the fall and winter.
If you find you are not getting outside much, a Vitamin D supplement can boost your mood and immune system!
