Five Health Benefits of Red Peppers

Red peppers are very beneficial to the body and the more we increase our daily consumption, the better.

Here are five reasons to increase your pepper consumption:

Contains vitamin c

Red peppers contain more than 200 percent of your daily vitamin C intake. Besides being a powerful antioxidant, vitamin C helps the proper absorption of iron. If you are iron deficient, try combining this pepper with your iron source for maximum absorption.

Source of vitamin B6 and folate. 

These both help prevent anemia.

  It helps in healthy vision. These peppers are high in vitamin A, which helps to support healthy eyesight, especially night vision. So when it comes to bell peppers, seeing red is a good thing!

   Contains antioxidants. The combined effects of vitamin A and C create a great antioxidant capacity, and with lycopene in the mix, the red bell pepper becomes a top notch superfood. Lycopene is what makes tomatoes and peppers red. They are among veggies with the highest amount of lycopene, which has been shown to help prevent many cancers including prostate and lung.

  It Burn more calories. Recent research has shown that sweet red peppers can activate thermogenesis and increase metabolic rate. They do not contain capsaicin, which is what makes peppers hot and causes us to sweat, but they do have a mild thermogenic action that increases our metabolism without increasing our heart rate and blood pressure like hot peppers do.
