While today is incredibly hot here in Portland, I am so excited to move into Fall.  One of the reasons I love Fall is the abundance of pumpkin on the menu.  I love pumpkin just about any way possible.  Because it is so yummy and offers so many health benefits, I included it in two different recipes on the ReSet.

Checkout some of the different reasons I love pumpkin:

  1. One cup packs two times the recommended amount of Vitamin A- important for good vision, strong bones and healthy skin and teeth.
  2. Pumpkins and their seeds are rich in beta-carotene and other antioxidants to help prevent cancer.
  3. Pumpkin is packed with fiber to help keep you regular.
  4. Pumpkin seeds are rich in the amino acid tryptophan which is important in the production of the feel good neurotransmitter serotonin.
  5. One cup of pumpkin is loaded with more of potassium than a banana.  Potassium is important to keep our muscles functioning properly after a hard workout.

The Active ReSet phase starts on Monday, September 19th.  Follow this link  to join us in this journey to vibrant health.
