Red Pepper (Uni)

Description

Peppers are rich in B vitamins, minerals such as potassium, phosphorus, magnesium and calcium, and flavonoids, which protect our bodies from premature aging as they are antioxidants.

Benefits of Red Pepper

IMPROVES VISION
Peppers have a protective effect on our eyes as we age. This is due to their high vitamin E content.
HELPS YOU LOSE WEIGHT
Because they're high in fiber and water, peppers are low in calories. They can also stimulate adrenaline and increase our body's metabolism, which leads to more energy consumption.
REDUCES THE RISK OF STROKE
The nutrients in this pepper allow bad cholesterol to be eliminated quite effectively, thus preventing the clogging of arteries that can lead to strokes. Vitamin B6 and folic acid also prevent atherosclerosis and heart disease in diabetics.
PROTECTS AGAINST CANCER
Peppers are one of the few foods that contain lycopene, a carotenoid whose consumption has been proven to be a weapon against bladder, prostate and cervical cancers.
Strengthens the immune system
Because they are so rich in vitamin C, they strengthen our natural defenses and help prevent colds and even inflammatory diseases.
