Benefit #3: Eases Inflammation
Inflammation is generally caused by our own immune systems. It is a result of chemicals being released into the body as a response to injuries or other problems. It often occurs even when there is no injury to deal with, and it can cause considerable problems for the patient.
Inflammation can cause problems like arthritis, which tends to affect people as they grow older. There is no cure but we can at least do what we can to relieve the symptoms to a degree. Butternut squash contains compounds that can help to prevent arthritis from developing. It can also make any symptoms of arthritis less severe for the patient.
