When people put time & attention into creating a diet that works for them, they want that diet to comprise digestible, tasty, filling, healthy, and overall good food. They don’t want that diet to contain food allergens or to cause unwanted digestive issues.
Anyone who’s tried a variety of protein powders can almost certainly attest to some unwanted effects, from bloating to increased urination, increased bowel activity, lethargy, and a host of other issues. When seeking a healthy meal replacement and organic protein powder, people should consider Organic Pumpkin Seed Protein Powder, potentially the least allergenic and most digestible protein available.
The Rising Crisis of Food Allergens
Here’s something of concern; according to a number of scientific studies, each successive generation is being born with more food allergies than the last. This is not just an American issue either; it’s a global problem and is being reported on as such. Quoting BBC reporting:[1]
- “The rate of food allergies worldwide has increased from around 3% of the population in 1960 to around 7% in 2018. And it isn’t just the rate that has increased. The range of foods to which people are allergic has also widened.”
That means people’s options for choosing protein powders that taste good, are good for the body and don’t cause unwanted side effects are becoming more limited. Thankfully, pumpkin seeds have been proven to be one of the least allergenic protein sources available. According to health writer and researcher Kristeen Cherney:[2]
- “Pumpkin seeds are not considered to be a highly allergenic food such as sesame or other seeds. In fact, according to the U.S. National Library of Medicine, allergies to pumpkin seeds are rare.”
And according to Very Well Health:[3]
- “It’s possible to be allergic to pumpkin seeds, but it’s extremely rare.”
Digestible Protein, a Must in a Healthy Diet
Another benefit of pumpkin seeds is they’re highly digestible, which means people who consume them can get the most health benefits possible from the seeds with as little waste, unwanted materials, excess fats or calories, potentially undigested nutrients turned into waste, etc.
Some experts believe pumpkin seeds are one of the best sources of fiber available, primarily because they are an easy-to-digest fiber. Quoting health writer Heather McClees:[4]
“Pumpkin seeds also have more fiber than many nuts, boosting 5 grams per 1/4 cup. This can help regulate your blood sugar, enhance regularity, and the fiber in pumpkin seeds is easier to digest than from some other sources like beans or hard-to-digest grains and nuts. Pumpkin seeds have also been linked to improving insulin regulation, which can help those with blood sugar issues or even diabetes.”
The ease with which people can digest pumpkin seeds and the fact such seeds are extremely unlikely to cause an allergic reaction are just two of many reasons why people seeking a source of organic protein and plant-based protein should consider Immune Solution’s Organic Pumpkin Seed Protein Powder with Superfoods.
