Pumpkin seeds are rich in mineral nutrients, zinc and phosphorus and some other fundamental active principles such as curcubitine, delta sterols, phytosterines, plant globulins and vitamins F and E. These vitamins play a protective role on cell membranes and are also antioxidant, especially vitamin E combined to selenium, which pumpkin seeds are very rich in.
All these properties are also very important to prevent urinary disorders, both in men and women, such as cystitis, bladder inflammation due to cold temperature exposure, bladder weakness and irritability (even due to anxiety), bladder catarrh, incontinence, nocturnal enuresis.
Including pumpkin seeds in our everyday diet can also be a good way to prevent all these symptoms. In addition, curcubitine has anti-parasite properties, especially on taenia, helping to detach it from bowel walls and enhancing its elimination.
