Pumpkin seeds are loaded with magnesium, manganese, iron and copper.
Why: The minerals in the body are a fairly well-connected group — they play off one another and work together to build tissue, form enzymes for bodily functions and support communication between cells. They also help maximize muscle mass. Magnesium helps build protein for muscle function. It also helps relax muscles after they’ve contracted. Manganese is needed to form protein and is a component of enzymes that act as antioxidants which help repair damaged muscle tissue. Iron is good for building endurance.
One ounce of pumpkin seeds (a small handful) contains nearly half the manganese you need in a day.
