Frequently Asked Questions

Is Squash, Indian, raw (Navajo) good for blood pressure?
Yes. Squash, Indian, raw (Navajo) provides 205mg of potassium per 100g (4% DV). Potassium helps lower blood pressure by counteracting sodium's effects and relaxing blood vessel walls. The sodium-to-potassium ratio is 10.3.
Does Squash, Indian, raw (Navajo) contain anti-nutrients?
Oxalates (spinach, beet greens, Swiss chard โ€” bind calcium). Goitrogens (raw cruciferous โ€” broccoli, kale, cabbage โ€” can impair thyroid iodine uptake). Cooking cruciferous vegetables deactivates goitrogens. Pair high-oxalate greens with calcium-rich foods (they bind in gut, not kidneys). Avoid green potatoes. Only a concern with very high raw intake + iodine deficiency (for goitrogens) or kidney stone history (for oxalates).
