The fruit is filled with collagen, as good as “natural sunscreen”
Among the beauties of Vietnamese showbiz, perhaps Toc Tien and Do Ha are the beauties who care the most about diet and exercise.
If Toc Tien has practiced yoga for many years, Do Ha regularly practices planks, squats, sit-ups or jogging to stay in shape. What these two beauties have in common is that they often build a diet rich in protein and fruits.
Do Ha revealed that she loves eating raw bell peppers.
Looking at Do Ha’s menu, Toc Tien saw that bell peppers are a familiar fruit in their diet. This is easy to understand, because many studies have shown that bell peppers are a fruit that brings great benefits to women’s health and beauty. Looking at the way these two beauties take care of their daily meals is enough to understand why they are increasingly beautiful and have attractive physiques.
Bell peppers are a familiar dish on Toc Tien’s menu.
If you are looking for a natural source of collagen, bell peppers are a very reasonable choice. This fruit is high in pro-vitamin A (beta carotene), which your body converts into vitamin A. Both the upper and lower layers of the skin need vitamin A to maintain immunity. At the same time, vitamin A also helps stimulate natural collagen production.
Additionally, violaxanthin, a common carotenoid antioxidant in bell peppers, reduces inflammation and prevents oxidative damage caused by free radicals.
In particular, capsanthin – the substance that creates the red color in bell peppers, is a powerful antioxidant that can help protect the skin from the harmful effects of sunlight, especially UVA and UVB ultraviolet rays. Therefore, it helps eliminate the risk of developing premature signs of aging on the skin and enhances the skin’s resilience.
Furthermore, vitamin C in bell peppers helps remove wrinkles and dark spots very well.
In addition to sun protection and increasing collagen, bell peppers also bring the following health benefits
1. May reduce inflammation
Research has shown that plant compounds found in bell peppers can positively impact health by reducing inflammation in the body.
Erika Barrera, a registered dietitian, told Eat Well: “Bell peppers contain antioxidants such as carotenoids and anthocyanins that help prevent cell damage in the body. This is important for inflammation and cancer prevention.”
2. May support eye health
Bell peppers contain carotenoids, including zeaxanthin and lutein, which may help protect eye health, supporting healthy vision. Zeaxanthin is an antioxidant that accumulates in a part of the eye called the macula that helps protect against damage caused by blue light.
When photoreceptors in the eye are damaged, it can lead to macular degeneration, the main cause of blindness.
3. Can strengthen the immune system
According to Krista Wale, founder of the Louisiana Nutrition Association, said: “Incorporating bell peppers into your daily diet can bring a lot of nutrition to your body, especially to your immune system.”
One red bell pepper provides nearly three times more vitamin C than an orange. Research shows that regularly consuming foods rich in vitamin C helps support your immune system against infection and disease.
4. Can help digestion
Bell peppers are an excellent source of fiber, which provides many health benefits, including better digestion, improved heart health and steady energy levels.
Fiber also helps control blood sugar and cholesterol while keeping the gut microbiome healthy.
Note:
You can reap the benefits of eating bell peppers whether raw or cooked, but cooking bell peppers can help your body absorb nutrients more easily.
Eating bell peppers every day is very good, but each person should only eat one per day. Consuming too much bell pepper may cause gas and bloating in some people due to its high fiber content.
In addition to bell peppers, you should also add a variety of fruits and vegetables to your diet.
