Full of flavor and health benefits, pumpkins don't merely belong carved up on your front porch at Halloween or in your pie at Thanksgiving. The meat, seeds and oil of this fall-favorite squash possess vital nutrients that reduce signs of aging as well as the risk of prostate cancer in men. In addition to high mineral content, pumpkin's medicinal properties include anti-diabetic, antioxidant, anti-carcinogenic and anti-inflammatory.
