Pumpkin Seeds for PCOS as a super food

Pumpkin seeds are a powerhouse of nutrients beneficial for managing PCOS. They are rich in magnesium, which helps reduce inflammation and improve insulin sensitivity. The high zinc content in pumpkin seeds supports hormone balance and boosts the immune system. Additionally, they provide a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential for reducing inflammation and promoting heart health. Pumpkin seeds also contain iron, which is crucial for preventing anemia, a common issue among women with PCOS. Including pumpkin seeds in your diet can help regulate blood sugar levels, support hormone balance, and improve overall health.
