Red peppers
Red peppers are full of antioxidants and bioactive chemicals. These include vitamin C, beta carotene, and flavonoids. Beta carotene is a powerhouse nutrient. It can help improve eyesight, and promote immune system health. There are plenty of ways to work red peppers into your diet. They are excellent grilled on everything from tacos to salads, and work particularly well in the summer months sliced up with guacamole.
Green peppers
Green peppers have a duo of ingredients that work particularly well together. Namely, iron and vitamin C. Iron helps with everything from energy levels to preventing anemia. Vitamin C, in addition to its other health benefits, acts as a carrier for iron—which means it helps the body derive more benefits from it. Slice up your green peppers and enjoy them roasted in a salad, or just eat raw with hummus or another dip.
