Holiday Detox

The holidays are upon us and what better way to combat the tendency to eat unhealthy foods with family during this time than to prepare ahead of time with body cleanse plans? Amidst those treats... the pumpkin pie, the cookies, the turkey... there exists a hidden little remedy.

If you’re feeling festive, one of the best methods for an effective parasite cleanse includes chewing on pumpkin seeds. Yes, pumpkin seeds! Native Americans were known for using pumpkin seeds to cure all types of internal parasites – ringworm and bacteria—as well as maintain healthy, cleansed colon and kidney health.

The seeds are a great source of beneficial nutrients like carbohydrates, amino acids, and unsaturated fatty acids and also contain most of the B vitamins, along with C, D, E, and K. They contain beneficial minerals like calcium, potassium, niacin, and phosphorous.

With such a prominent place in folk medicine, science took to studying the health benefits of pumpkin seeds and found that the essential oils inherent in the seeds have a number of positive attributes for a total cleanse. They even help to prevent the formation of kidney stones while forcing the digestive track to move along.

With these little guys one your side during the holiday season, perhaps you'll find yourself feeling cleansed and detoxified --- all with a warm autumn festivity.

For best health results, eat the seeds raw. However, it's popular this time of year to salt and roast the seeds, which is still a great way to get the nutrient since much of the essential oils are maintained. A healthy parasite cleanse involves good, warm foods.
