While scientists are developing new chemical agents, we carry out prevention with our natural handy products based on herbal ingredients. You just need to know about their properties, benefits for the body and methods of use.
Nature is abundant and gives us so many useful things that we don't have to go far. The most effective remedies that we need are usually under our noses, but often we do not see them point-blank.
One of these valuable foods is pumpkin. Yes, a common garden pumpkin. The beneficial properties of pumpkin have long been studied and recommended. The pulp of this vegetable is used in many raw food and traditional dishes.
Pumpkin has a beneficial effect on all systems and organs, because it contains vitamins, minerals, glucose, potassium, calcium, magnesium, silicon, vitamins C, E, B and even so we lack the vitamin of the sun in winter D ...
Pumpkin is useful for:
- heart (potassium)
- kidney (cleanses the kidneys, urinary, liver..., due to its diuretic properties, reduces swelling)
- gastrointestinal tract (fiber cleanses the intestines)

All vitamins and microelements contained in pumpkin and its "children" (seeds, they generally contain zinc essential element for the pancreas and the work of the whole body) enrich the body and promote cell regeneration. And what else do we need for happiness?! Health, youth and beauty. "Youth and beauty, come to our gate! Ay, well done pumpkin! Gop-tsa-dritsa-gop-tsa-tsa "!
We, of course, try to eat the pumpkin mostly in its raw (= live) natural form and cook it using three main tools: a knife, a blender and a grater.
