Bell peppers contain many vitamins and minerals
The vitamins within bell peppers include vitamin C, B6, K1, E, A, and folate (B9). One medium bell pepper contains 169% of the recommended amount of vitamin C, which is essential for immune support. Vitamin C also helps the gut absorb more iron which helps prevent anemia. Anemia is usually caused by a lack of iron in the diet and is characterized by fatigue and weakness. The intensity of these symptoms increases for women during their period because of high blood loss. Speaking of blood, vitamins B6 and K1 promote blood health. They help create red blood cells and support blood clotting. Vitamin K1 also helps keep the bones strong and healthy. Lastly, vitamin E supports nerve and muscle health.
Potassium, the important mineral within bell peppers, supports heart health.
