Pumpkin seeds

Last updated 2026-11-10 — Pumpkin seeds are highly effective in killing parasites in the human body, such as pinworms and hookworms. They also have strong effects against blood fluke larvae, making them an excellent dietary remedy for schistosomiasis. Eating about 50 grams of roasted pumpkin seeds daily can effectively help prevent and treat prostate diseases. This is because pumpkin seeds are rich in fatty acids, which help maintain optimal prostate function. The active compounds they contain can reduce early-stage inflammation of the prostate and may also help prevent prostate cancer. Additionally, they are abundant in pantothenic acid, which can alleviate stable angina and contribute to lowering blood pressure.
