The health benefits and uses of pumpkin juice, and how to make this yourself at home.
1.
Pumpkins are large orange gourds which are often used to make Jack O’lanterns at Halloween.
Many people do not realise that these large fruits have some excellent health benefits
and are used as natural medicine.
2.
Pumpkin Juice is excellent for those who have trouble sleeping at night or suffer with insomnia.
It contains tryptophan which regulates brain hormones and helps the mind and body to relax.
3.
Drinking this tasty juice regularly helps in protecting eyesight, as the carotenoids
within are fantastic for vision and eye disorders.
4.
These carotenoids also improve your skin complexion, preventing pimples and even lowering the risk
of cancer
5.
This juice is also a natural remedy for morning sickness in pregnant women, and provides the
body with a host of healthy nutrients.
It is loaded with vitamins A, C, E and B, also containing minerals such as potassium,
iron, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, copper, manganese, sodium and zinc.
6.
The vitamin C supports the immune system, protecting the body from invaders and diseases.
7.
The effect of the tryptophan also calms those who suffer with anxiety, and also regulates
the mood.
This has been used to ease depression and cause relaxation.
8.
Drinking this also strengthens the blood vessels and helps in clearing our arterial plaque.
The potassium treats high blood pressure and boosts blood circulation, making heart problems
less likely.
9.
Live enzymes within the drink break down food and waste in the digestive system.
This boosts kidney and liver performance, and gets rid of toxins which may be causing
illnesses and inflammation.
10.
Vitamin A found in pumpkins and other live foods is essential during pregnancy for excellent
health, and nursing mothers.
11.
You can also use this juice on the skin to treat burns and inflammation.
The antioxidants make this a fantastic healing agent.
12.
Pumpkins are also used to make pie and soup, however raw pumpkin juice is much healthier
as it contains live enzymes which are destroyed in the cooking process.
13.
Making fresh juice from pumpkins at home is the healthiest way to reap these wonderful
benefits.
