Bell Peppers

BELL PEPPERS contain an impressive amount of vitamin C with up to as much as six times as oranges. Bell peppers are also packed with vitamin A and beta carotene which can help boost the immune system, improve vision, and help protect the eyes against cataracts. They are also an excellent source of potassium, fiber, thiamine, beta carotene, folic acid, zeaxanthin, and lycopene and have been shown to help prevent blood clot formation and reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes.

They are excellent for helping to lower cholesterol levels and they contain anti-cancer compounds that can help lower the risk of prostate, breast, lung, and colon cancer. Bell peppers are highly beneficial for the brain and can help to strengthen memory and concentration skills as well as reduce brain fog and confusion.

 

Bell peppers are an ideal weight loss food as their fiber helps to curb the appetite while helping to keep you energized throughout the day. Even though green peppers are edible, the red, orange, and yellow bell peppers contain significantly higher levels of vitamins, mineral, and antioxidants.

 

Bell peppers are so sweet, crunchy, and juicy that they are perfect to munch on with your meal and make a great salad with cucumber, olives, tomatoes and avocados with lemon juice, dill, honey and olive oil. They are good on sandwiches, in dips and hummus. They are also great juiced, steamed, sautéed, and stuffed.

 

It is a refreshing, light, nutrient packed meal that can nourish your body and keep your immune system functioning strong.

 

Bell peppers can be found at your local grocery and health food store….or better yet, grow your own in summer!
