Pumpkin seeds: a natural ally in detoxifying the body

Pumpkin seeds are rich in fiber, unsaturated fatty acids, and plant protein. These properties aid digestion, help the body eliminate toxins, and support weight management. They also contain antioxidants and phytonutrients that reduce inflammation and protect the cardiovascular system.

According to dietitian Dr. Emily Smith, “regular consumption of fiber-rich foods, such as pumpkin seeds, significantly improves intestinal peristalsis and prevents constipation.”
