7-Day Pumpkin Light Meal to Detox and Help Lose Weight

In October, there is an important festival called "Halloween" in Western countries. When talking about Halloween, we have to mention its representative food: pumpkin. The pumpkin with a yellow appearance is also called golden pumpkin in Taiwan. It is a food rich in many nutrients needed by the human body. If you want to eat some vegetables and fruits that are nutritious but not too high in calories in the slightly cool autumn, pumpkin is definitely the first choice.

Pumpkin is rich in fiber, as well as nutrients such as vitamins A, B, and C, and is also very helpful for weight loss and detoxification.

Low in calories and high in fiber, you won’t gain weight!

Pumpkin is abundant in summer and autumn. Its nutrients include beta-carotene, vitamins A, B, C, protein, dietary fiber, and minerals such as calcium, potassium, magnesium, and zinc. Plus, pumpkin is not high in calories, 1/2 cup of pumpkin has only 40 calories, and contains more than 8 grams of dietary fiber, so it can make you feel fuller than eating regular food and you are less likely to feel hungry.

Pumpkin can be made into many different dishes, from main dishes to desserts. However, if you want to eat nutritious and low-calorie food during weight loss, it is recommended to make pumpkin into light meals, such as pumpkin salad, pumpkin juice, pumpkin honey, etc. These are all simple and easy to make, low-calorie light meals.

Hydrate your eyes and replenish your body

In the autumn, the skin is prone to dehydration and dryness, and even the eyes are more prone to dryness and fatigue. The beta-carotene and vitamin A in pumpkin are good antioxidants. Moderate supplementation can help repair the eyes' photosensitivity and help prevent fatigue, dryness, blurred vision and other problems.

In addition, pumpkin is also a recommended food for women to replenish blood and have a good complexion. The unique "cobalt" component increases blood circulation and the function of producing red blood cells, which can make people have a rosy complexion and improve the problem of feeling easily tired.
