All bell peppers are good for you, but the best are the red ones. They are loaded with sweet, juicy flavor along with disease fighting antioxidants and all kinds of vitamins and minerals.
Vitamin B6, found in red peppers, helps the brain function and the body convert protein to energy. Vitamin B6 is also essential in supporting the development of hormones serotonin (to regulate mood) and melatonin (to regulate sleep). B vitamins also aid in healthy metabolism, skin, immune function, and cell growth and may help relieve symptoms caused by stress, depression and heart disease.
In addition to B vitamins, Red Peppers are also high in vitamin C. In fact they have an even higher concentration of vitamin C in them than oranges do!
Red Peppers are also high in vitamin A & beta-carotene, which supports eye health.
