Rich in carotene, B vitamins, vitamin C, calcium, phosphorus, and other ingredients, it can strengthen the stomach and digestion. The pectin contained in pumpkin can protect the gastrointestinal mucosa from the stimulation of rough food, and is suitable for people with stomach diseases. Pumpkin can promote bile secretion, strengthen gastrointestinal peristalsis, and help food digestion.
