Nutritionist talks about the benefits of bell peppers for older people
Pepper should be in a person’s diet, especially when it comes to older people.
Nutritionist Mikhail Ginzburg explained why pensioners should add this vegetable to their menu.
The fact is that the main benefit is that it contains dietary fiber, various minerals, for example, potassium and magnesium.
All this is excellent for preventing heart and vascular diseases.
Peppers also contain carotenoids, which act as antioxidants in the body, writes Moscow 24 .
In addition, as Ginzburg noted during a conversation with journalists, the vegetable is also suitable for preventing age-related diseases.
We are talking about gout, atherosclerosis, hypertension and diabetes.
As for the last point, the doctor clarified that diabetes is a disease that is associated with metabolism. But dietary fiber and carotenoids prevent the absorption of sugar and the increase in blood glucose.
