The Pumpkin is a valid aid against water retention thanks to its very high amount of water. It favors diuresis and helps the body to get rid of toxins and deflate.

Among the various nutrients of the pumpkin there are many vitamins, from A to B to C. In particular, as perhaps you will imagine its orange color, it has a great deal of beta-carotene, the precursor of Vitamin A, a very powerful antioxidant.

Thanks to its quantity of beta-carotene, the pumpkin is an antioxidant par excellence, limiting the formation of free radicals.

The pumpkin helps to get rid of anxiety and stress. This is because it contains magnesium, a natural muscle relaxant that brings immediate psycho-physical benefits. It also contains tryptophan, a substance that helps in the production of serotonin, useful against insomnia and depression.
