3 Benefits of Pumpkin Seeds

#1: Boost Your Immunity

Pumpkin seeds are loaded with antioxidants and phytochemicals. These compounds help to fight and reverse oxidative stress in your body and reduce the possibility of infection.

They also contain zinc which helps boost immunity, aids cellular growth and division, and improves sleep and mood.

#2: Heart Healthy

These seeds are a rich source of healthy fats and antioxidants that are beneficial for your heart because they can help lower your “bad” cholesterol (LDL) and increase your “good” cholesterol (HDL). Pumpkin seeds are also a wonderful source of magnesium which is necessary for over 600 different chemical processes in your body.

#3: Lose Weight

These seeds may be little, but they pack quite a punch when it comes to healthy fats and fiber that will help to keep you satisfied. They are a great snacking option because it doesn’t take too many of them to make you full.

All of these benefits plus that satisfying cracker crunch everyone misses on a ketogenic diet. The next time you have a little time to spare and get a craving for a healthy snack loaded with amazing nutrients, give these crackers a try and don’t be afraid to play with your flavors and spices so you never get bored.
