REASONS TO... add green peppers to your diet

1. They are high in vitamin C, which we need for the production of collagen in the body to strengthen muscles and skin.

2. Green peppers are a good source of potassium which helps control blood pressure.

3. They contain beta carotene, which gets converted to vitamin A. This plays an important role in keeping your skin, eyes and hair healthy.

4. Green peppers contain antioxidants such as lutein and zeaxanthin that may help lower the risk of cancer.

5. They are high in dietary fibre which helps you to move your bowels, reducing constipation, cramping and bloating.
