This is a great little warmer for your two-week or one-month Detox program. It has the benefit of coconut milk which is good fat, especially if you can get good quality organic coconut cream. The combination of coconut and chili (in the red curry paste) is truly rewarding.

Powerful Pumpkin:
Pumpkin is one of the best-known sources of beta-carotene, an antioxidant that gives orange the color to vegetables. The body converts it into vitamin A in the body. Foods high in beta-carotene may reduce the risk of developing certain types of cancer and can delay aging and body deterioration.

Blood pressure: Eating pumpkin is good for the heart! The fiber, potassium, and vitamin C content in pumpkin all support heart health. Consuming adequate potassium is almost as important as decreasing sodium intake for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure). Other foods that are high in potassium include bananas, oranges, pineapple, spinach, and tomatoes.
