Named the unusual use of pumpkin seeds

Ordinary pumpkin seeds can be a useful addition to the diet of people monitoring blood pressure. Nutritionists Lisa Andrews, Amy Davis and Patricia Wheel explained to Eating Well, which substances in the composition of this product favorably affect the state of blood vessels and heart function.

According to Andrews, just 30 grams of seeds contain more than 150 milligrams of magnesium — about 37% of the recommended daily allowance. This mineral helps to relax the vascular walls and improve blood flow. A similar effect has the amino acid arginine, from which nitric oxide is formed in the body, which helps to expand blood vessels.

Another advantage of pumpkin seeds is the potassium content. As explained by Davis, it is involved in the elimination of excess sodium through the kidneys and helps regulate vascular tone. Due to this, a sufficient intake of potassium with food helps maintain normal blood pressure.

The wheel also noted a high content of unsaturated fats, which favorably affect lipid metabolism. Replacing saturated fats with them helps reduce the level of “bad” cholesterol and reduce the risk of atherosclerotic plaque formation.
