SPOKANE, Wash. — Thanksgiving is a few days away and that means it is still pumpkin season. Fans of pumpkin may already know that the gourd is packed with good stuff. And for people who are not pumpkin fans, there are a few reasons to consider eating more of the orange squash. It turns out their orange color may make them more than just a great holiday centerpiece. It makes them one of the most nutrient dense foods out there. The reason for the pigment are alpha -and -beta Carotene. They are both potent anti-oxidants that the body converts to vitamin A when eaten. According to the Journal of Nutrition, vitamin A is an important and essential vitamin.

Vitamin A has been shown to:

Boost the immune system

Reduce the risks associated with heart disease

Slow down the aging process and growing tumors

Pumpkins are also rich in Vitamins B, C, E, Potassium and magnesium.
