Sweet peppers are healthy to eat not only fresh, but also baked.
Elena Tikhomirova, a general practitioner and nutritionist at the SM-Clinic medical center, spoke about the benefits of baked peppers.
The expert's recommendations are provided by the Roskachestvo portal.
By eating raw peppers, you get more vitamin C, which is destroyed by cooking.
Those who want to strengthen their immunity with vitamin C are better off eating fresh peppers.
Boiled and baked peppers are also very useful. Heat treatment destroys vitamin C, but increases the amount and bioavailability of beta-carotene (provitamin A).
Heat treatment also increases the activity of the antioxidant lycopene, which has anti-inflammatory, restorative and antitumor properties.
