How This Nourishes Your Body

Spaghetti squash is such an easy go-to dinner on nights I have no idea what to make. Cook, through some veggies, some spices, some coconut oil and BAM lunch/dinner with no thinking involved. Love that. This dish is a simple meal that is well paired with some grass fed beef or organic ground turkey. Mmmhmm.

Just so you can be fully satisfied with a huge plate of spaghetti without the guilt of traditional white pasta- check out what this squash has to offer:

1. Spaghetti squash provides vitamins A, C, B-6, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, folate, pantothenic acid and vitamin K.

The vitamin A in the form of the carotenoids called alpha-carotene and beta-carotene. Carotenoids work as antioxidants that prevent cellular damage from free radicals and fight inflammation.

2. The Vitamin C in spaghetti squash fights free radicals throughout the body. Vitamin C neutralizes free radicals so they cannot attach to cells and cause damage that leads to chronic illnesses.

2. Spaghetti squash has calcium and potassium which helps replace old bone with new minerals to maintain strength.
Potassium is also a mineral that can carries an electrical charge through fluids in your body which sustains a regular heartbeat.

3. Spaghetti squash contains a fair amount of fiber to help support a health digestive system.
