Boost Immune System

Think again if you think citrus fruits have the greatest vitamin C of any fruit or vegetable. Red bell peppers have nearly three times the vitamin C content (127 mg) of a Florida orange (45 mg). They are also high in beta carotene. Your immune system is responsible for vital processes such as warding off pathogenic microorganisms and protecting your body from their harmful consequences.

You should include vitamin C-rich foods in your diet to strengthen your immune system. Bell peppers are high in vitamin C, and eating them on a daily basis might help to boost your immune system. If you have a weak immune system, nutritionists advocate including orange bell peppers in your diet.
