Its consumption provides benefits such as strengthening the immune system or contributing to bone health.

Peppers, in addition to having a delicious flavor, have multiple benefits for the body, so specialists recommend their consumption regularly.

The properties of these are multiple. Nutritionist Sthefania Esparza points out that they contain a large amount of vitamins (A, C, B9, B6, K, E), minerals (potassium, iron), are low in calories and have fiber.

“They have important compounds that are carotenoids like capxanthin, violaxanthin, lutein, quercetin and luteolin. These compounds are antioxidants that help visual health and prevent cardiovascular diseases and cancer ”, says the expert.

Although everyone can consume them at any age, they should be avoided raw by people with colitis / irritable bowel syndrome or who have gastritis. Kidney or allergic patients should also exercise caution if they include them in their diet.

As for which peppers are more beneficial, the specialist points out that all have advantages for the body. “The color will depend on how ripe or green the pepper is. What differentiates them is that as they mature, their nutritional composition also changes and some nutrients predominate more with red, orange or yellow peppers, such as carotenoids or vitamin C ”, she points out.

He adds that there is no pathology that contraindicates the consumption of pepper on a daily basis and, rather, its frequent consumption can generate various benefits to the body. Here are five of them:

• Helps the formation of red blood cells
• Strengthens the immune system
• Promotes blood clotting
• Contributes to bone health
• Provides folic acid, so important in pregnancy
