Eating them in the evening may encourage more restful sleep and a steadier mood.

How Pumpkin Seeds Bolster Immunity and Hormonal Health
Most people don’t realize how interconnected their immune and hormonal systems are, and pumpkin seeds nourish both.
Immune Support
Zinc plays a critical role in creating and activating T-cells, which are essential for a healthy immune response.
As the Cleveland Clinic points out, zinc can even help slow age-related decline in immunity.
Hormonal Balance
A blend of magnesium, zinc, and antioxidants in pumpkin seeds helps regulate stress and sleep hormones like cortisol and melatonin.
They may also support hormonal stability during menstruation or menopause, while in men, they encourage reproductive and prostate health.
