Pumpkin is sweet and warm in nature. It returns to the spleen and stomach meridians. It has the functions of replenishing the middle and replenishing qi, clearing heat and detoxifying. It is suitable for treating spleen deficiency, weak qi, malnutrition, lung carbuncle, and water and fire burns.
The Compendium of Materia Medica states that it "supplements the middle and strengthens the qi." Pumpkin contains citrulline, arginine, opyrine, vitamins A, B, C, pectin, cellulose, etc. The pectin contained can regulate the absorption rate of food in the stomach and slow down the absorption of sugar. Soluble cellulose can delay the emptying of food in the stomach and control the rise of blood sugar after a meal. Pectin can also combine with excess cholesterol in the body, reducing cholesterol absorption and lowering blood cholesterol concentration. Therefore, pumpkin is known as a "best product in reducing blood sugar and lowering blood lipids". People with diabetes often take this product as a supplement to meals. It not only can satisfy their stomachs, but also can reduce blood sugar and lipids. It can be said to be achieved with one fell swoop. Many people deal with computers all day long, which inevitably causes visual fatigue. To maintain eye health, in addition to eye hygiene, eating more foods rich in vitamin A, such as pumpkin, can effectively protect your eyes. Pumpkin seeds contain a lot of phosphorus, which can prevent minerals from accumulating in the body to form stones and maintain the toughness of the sclera. Therefore, eating fried pumpkin seeds often can prevent gallstones and myopia. Research by German scientists has found that prostate diseases are rare in people who often chew pumpkin seeds. Therefore, after men enter middle age, they often eat pumpkin seeds, which can also effectively prevent prostate hypertrophy.

Peanut not only contains more than ten amino acids and high calcium content required by the human body, but also contains rich fatty oils. Eating peanuts regularly can not only promote the growth and development of the human body, prevent premature aging, but also nourish the lungs and relieve cough.
