Pumpkin seed – it is may be the best solution in order to overcome the deficiency of magnesium and zinc in your daily menu.

Pumpkin seed is one of the best possible solutions  when we are looking for balance in our daily menu – it is an easy and accessible way. It is one of the micronutrient-rich foods which are combined by the nature in a great way. There are not so many foods which are so micronutrient-rich foods by which we can easily intake the recommendable daily doze for an adult containing the important magnesium, zinc, iron and phosphorus at the same time.

If you intake about 40g for a day/ 1.41 oz/ounces, you will obtain 230 calories /11% of recommendable doze for an adult/ from the following amounts and ration microelements:

- 220 milligrams magnesium of the approximately necessary for an adult, 330 milligrams or 66% of the daily doze;

- 3 milligrams zinc of the approximately necessary for an adult 11 milligrams or 27% of the daily doze;

- 470 milligrams phosphorus of the approximately necessary for an adult 700 milligrams or 67% of the daily doze;

- iron – almost 50% of the daily doze and also large amount of potassium.

The rest percentages of the above mentioned elements you should easily and with no problems provide from the content of the food which you consume during the day.

The deficiency of microelements and vitamins is typical  problem when we reduce the amount of food in order to lose weight. This frequently common mistake could damage us and badly impair the result you have achieved as you reduce the amounts of subcutaneous fat. Long term deficiency of microelements and vitamins could lead to problems with functioning of almost all the systems in the human body.

Foods like pumpkin seed are one of the best, easily accessible and effective solutions of this problem.

People who train actively will receive “bonus” if they balance the doze of zinc and magnesium in their daily menu. Magnesium would help you for recovering after training, visible muscle growth. Zinc, except for synthesis of testosterone, would help you for limiting the transformation of this important hormone into oestrogen.

The pumpkin seed is one of the examples that pointed out the so-called “super foods” could be in front of us and it is no needed for them to have an exotic names, origin and high price.
