2. Prevents oxidative damage. Kabocha pumpkin is rich in vitamin A, vitamin C, flavonoids, and polysaccharides. They have antioxidant effects that help protect cells from oxidative damage by harmful molecules called free radicals. Oxidative damage can cause aging in cells and lead to long-term health conditions. Antioxidants in kabocha pumpkin can help prevent these health problems and maintain healthy cells.
3. Inhibits cancer growth. Cancer growth occurs when genetic material or DNA in your cells gets damaged and changes. Kabocha pumpkin contains flavonoids like beta-carotene and lutein. Their antioxidant properties protect your cells and DNA from free radical damage, which helps prevent the growth of cancer cells.
Beta-carotene converts to form vitamin A. It is the compound that gives kabocha pumpkins their orange color. It helps cells communicate with each other, regulates cell growth, and improves immunity. It also stimulates the production of chemicals that break down cancer-causing or carcinogenic molecules.
Studies have also revealed that lutein and zeaxanthin present in kabocha squash may help protect against skin cancer. Vitamin C in this plant also boosts the immune system, destroys free radicals, and inhibits cancer cell growth.
