Pomegranates are rich in vitamin C, antioxidants, and fiber. Studies show that eating pomegranates (or even drinking pomegranate juice) can help against certain cancers and Alzheimer’s’ disease.

Sunflower seeds are a great source of antioxidant vitamin E, and can lower your cholesterol. In addition, the seeds provide your body with magnesium which can calm your nerves, reduce the severity of asthma, and prevent migraine headaches.

With a wide variety of nutrients ranging from protein, zinc, and magnesium, pumpkin seeds are nutritional powerhouses! Pumpkin seeds are also a great source of vitamin E and are a great provider of plant-based Omega-3 fatty acids.
