Honey Whole Wheat Pumpkin Bread:
Pumpkin has many health benefits for your skin. It is loaded with nutrients, enzymes, and vitamins. Some benefits for the skin include: anti-aging, fighting free radicals, and improving skin health. The enzymes found in pumpkin break down dead skin cells and speed up cell regeneration. Pumpkin has a high content of magnesium, zinc, and antioxidants. These nutrients reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and prevent the signs of aging. Vitamin A found in pumpkins boosts collagen production and helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
Honey is another ingredient that helps your skin. Honey is a humectant that helps your skin absorb and retain moisture. Once that moisture is locked in, your skin will appear plump and glowing. Eat both pumpkin and honey together, and your skin will appear brighter and younger looking!
