Best Ways to Eat Pumpkin
With all the goodness pumpkins offer, surely an extra-large pumpkin spice latte with a pumpkin muffin can’t hurt. But experts say hold your horses. The best way to get pumpkin’s health benefits is to avoid the sugar and processing of baked goods or pumpkin flavor. Opt for more wholesome choices, like roasted pumpkin, pumpkin puree, pumpkin hummus, or pumpkin soup.

Beta Carotene Boost
Just like their orange cousins, the carrot and the sweet potato, pumpkins are rich in beta carotene. Your body changes this antioxidant to vitamin A. You need vitamin A to see, ward off germs, and for your reproductive system to work the way it should. It also helps your heart, lungs, kidneys, and other organs stay healthy.

Eating on a Big Plate

Yep, it’s that simple: Put your food on a smaller plate (and use smaller utensils!) and trick your brain into thinking you’re eating more than you are. If you go for the huge platter, you’re more likely to finish it all and eat more than you need.
