With the fall season upon us, there are many familiar flavors and scents welcomed during the season. Pumpkin is a fall favorite that includes an array of health benefits. Apples are also a fall favorite, with many different varieties and health benefits that make them a great source of nutrients, including vitamins and minerals.
To ensure the most benefit and nutrients from pumpkins this fall, enjoy them roasted or as an addition to recipes. Limit sugar and other processed ingredients commonly added to pumpkin recipes to lower sugar intake. This will also limit blood sugar spikes for people diagnosed with diabetes.
Apples are another fall favorite fruit that provides various health benefits while being delicious and full of flavor.
There are a variety of healthy ways to enjoy apples, such as fresh, baked, and dried. Although apples are high in sugar, they can still be enjoyed in moderation. Enjoying an apple with some proteins, such as cheese or nuts, can help balance blood sugar levels to ensure they do not spike.
Pumpkins and apples are excellent sources of a variety of nutrients and health benefits. They can be added to baked goods, soups, or eaten along with other snacks. They are great components to add to sweet or savory dishes because they can add a lot of flavor and nutrients. Enjoy the featured recipe to try an easy snack that includes both apple and pumpkin.
