Pumpkin Spice Perfect – Fall Recipes for Healthy Living

Posted October 17, 2017 in Laser Treatment

Did you catch that note of crispness in the air? Have you added an extra blanket to your bed? It’s the time of the year when boots make perfect sense and our senses are overwhelmed with pumpkin.

Sure, the pumpkin spice obsession may be wearing out its welcome, but that doesn’t negate the benefits of pumpkin for your skin. Pumpkin is full of beta-carotene, a provitamin that coverts to vitamin A. Vitamin A is known to help protect against UV damage and slow the signs of aging, while encouraging healthy ski cell production. A pumpkin spice latte isn’t the only way to get in on this goodness, try out this healthy pumpkin pie baked oatmeal with peanut butter frosting.

Another major benefit to fall is the hearty food we get to eat. While soups that simmer all day are amazing, it’s not always the best for our waistlines. Want to get in on some amazing fall food that’s also healthy and beneficial for you? Give this grilled pumpkin and carrot over quinoa a try!
