#DidYouKnow #Pumpkins provide #Potassium, an essential mineral we all need to keep our hearts and muscles working at their optimal levels? One cup of pumpkin delivers around 550 mg of Potassium, making it one of the highest sources amongst fruits and vegetables (Bananas bring in about 420 mg and Sweet Potatoes bring in about 475 mg). Add pumpkin to your post-workout snack or meal for the extra potassium boost, which may aid in muscle and electrolyte recovery. The orange color of the pumpkin is due to the fact that they are loaded with the #antioxidant, #BetaCarotene, which is one of the plant carotenoids converted to Vitamin A in the body. Vitamin A is essential for healthy, glowing skin, strong eyesight and our immune system.
