When carving jack-o-lanterns, be sure to save the seeds since they are packed with Omega 3 fatty acids that build strong immunity, and enhance your skin and hair’s natural beauty.  They are a good source of protein which helps to stabilize blood sugar levels should you have overindulged in Halloween candy.  They also help with weight loss if you really overdid it this season.  High in the amino acid tryptophan, which converts into sleep-inducing melatonin, snack on pumpkin seeds to ensure you enjoy a great night’s sleep after all the Halloween festivities are over.
