Just 1/4 cup of pumpkin seeds (a medium handful) each day provides more than 20 percent of our recommended intakes of protein, fibre and minerals such as magnesium, zinc, manganese, phosphorous, copper and iron. But the primary therapeutic benefit from eating pepitas comes from the healthy fats found inside these flat, dark green seeds.

Pumpkin seeds contain a perfect mix of heart-healthy, unsaturated fatty acids as well as…

Leafy Greens

Greens — Green leafy vegetables such as kale, bok choy, and spinach all provide 150 to 250 mg of calcium per cup. Collard greens stand out with more than 350 mg per…
