10 Benefits of Butternut Squash
Benefit #4: Healthy Bones
Without a strong, healthy skeleton, life would be a lot harder for us than it is. Our skeletons provide us with support and allow us to move around our environment with ease. The skeleton needs to be strong enough to support our weight, and also strong enough to withstand impacts.
Butternut squash is a good source of manganese. This is a mineral that helps with calcium absorption and also with the density of minerals in the spinal column. What’s more is that butternut squash also contains other minerals that can help protect against osteoporosis. Include it in your diet and you can have a strong, healthy skeleton for years to come.
