From improving eye health to digestion: Bhagyashree reveals the many health benefits of pumpkin

“Pumpkin is loaded with vitamin A which helps improve eye health. Additionally, it is also a rich source of zinc, selenium and magnesium making it beneficial for thyroid patients,” the actor said.

She added, “This vegetable is also for digestive issues, as it has a lot of fibre.”

Despite its many benefits, it’s quite a task to feed pumpkins to kids. But, worry not! Bhagyashree has a solution for that too.

“Narrate the story of Cinderella to your kids. After all, she went to meet her prince on a pumpkin chariot!” she suggested.

Also, it “can be used to make soup, add consistency to gravies and even innovative sweet dishes. So, for those who baulk at the mention of pumpkin, camouflage it,” Bhagyashree added.
