Pumpkin Seeds Can Reduce The Time You’re Sick
Pumpkin seeds are considered to be a type of super food. They are rich in fatty acids, antioxidants, and many other nutrients. Pumpkin seeds are most known for how heart-healthy they are, because they reduce blood pressure and cholesterol.
However, promoting heart health is not the only thing pumpkin seeds are good for. They can also help you feel much better when you’re sick and reduce the duration of a virus because they contain high amounts of zinc. Research suggests that zinc prevents rhinovirus from multiplying. Since rhinovirus affects the throat and sinuses, eating pumpkin seeds may reduce sore throat and sinus problems.
