The body converts it into vitamin A in the body. Foods high in beta-carotene may reduce the risk of developing certain types of cancer and can delay aging and body deterioration. Blood pressure: Eating pumpkin is good for the heart! The fiber, potassium, and vitamin C content in pumpkin all support heart health.
