Pumpkin Spice Season is Here!

by springhouse / Tuesday, October 01, 2019 / Published in News/Blog

For your enjoyment, we feature a special message from our Dining Services, Health Care Services Group.

It’s fall and time for pumpkins. Here are some impressive health benefits to eating pumpkin or squash. Did you know?

  • Pumpkin is high in vitamins, minerals and low in calories. It is source of beta-carotene.
  • Pumpkin’s antioxidant compounds are linked to lower risks of stomach, throat, pancreas and breast cancers.
  • Pumpkin is high in vitamins A and C, which can help boost the immune system and its supply of vitamin E, iron and folate may help with immunity as well.
  • Pumpkin is a good source of potassium, vitamin C, fiber and antioxidants which have been linked to heart health benefits.
  • Pumpkin can be easily roasted, pureed for soup or baked into pies. Its seeds are great when roasted and are also highly nutritious.

So go pick up a pumpkin!
