Pumpkin is a hydrating fruit made mostly of water, so it is relatively low in calories yet still rich in other nutrients such as manganese.

Considered as an essential nutrient, the body requires Mn to function properly - break down fats, carbohydrates, proteins and for bone strengthening as part of several enzymes, hence people use it in medicines included with chondroitin sulfate and glucosamine hydrochloride to combat osteoarthritis (https://bit.ly/48uZySs)
