Prevent diabetes
Squash contains large amounts of Nicotinic acid, Trigonelline, and D-Chiro-inositol. Studies have proven that Nicotinic acid and D-chiro-inositol help stabilize blood sugar and prevent the risk of diabetes. Diabetics are recommended to eat squash daily to control blood sugar. They contain high levels of vitamin C, which is a source for insulin mimicry in the body and when consumed orally can help control diabetes.
In addition, squash is rich in folic acid, so it is also an ideal food for people with diabetes. The plant compounds in squash can help absorb glucose into the tissues and intestines, as well as balance the liver's glucose levels. Squash has been linked to a reduced risk of type 2 diabetes, but this effect has not been clearly demonstrated. The researchers believe that the compounds found in squash can be made into anti-diabetic drugs, this idea needs to be studied further in the use of pumpkin in the treatment effect.
