The pectin contained in pumpkin can also protect the gastric mucosa from the stimulation of rough food, promote ulcer healing, and is suitable for people with stomach problems. The ingredients contained in pumpkin can promote bile secretion, strengthen gastrointestinal motility, and help digest food.

Pumpkin is rich in cobalt, which can activate human metabolism, promote hematopoietic function, and participate in the synthesis of vitamin B12 in the human body. It is a necessary trace element for human pancreatic cells and has special therapeutic effects on preventing and treating diabetes and lowering blood sugar.

Pumpkin is rich in zinc, which is beneficial to skin and nail health. The antioxidant beta-carotene has eye-protecting, heart-protecting and anti-cancer benefits. Additionally, pumpkin seeds are an excellent source of important fatty acids such as omega-6, which are beneficial to brain health.
