Doctors recommend including bell peppers in your diet. They will not only replenish the lack of vitamin C in your body, but will also protect your eyesight.
At the same time, experts told us which color pepper is considered the healthiest.
Doctor and TV presenter Elena Malysheva explained why you need to eat bell peppers on the air of the program “Live Healthy!” on Channel One.
Bell peppers are good for your eyesight, said program participant and ophthalmologist Mikhail Konovalov.
The reason is the large amount of vitamin C that the vegetable contains.
The daily requirement of the vitamin is contained in 100 grams of fresh bell pepper, while a lack of this vitamin is fraught with the risk of developing cataracts.
The fact is that vitamin C determines the presence of elastin and collagen, on which the elasticity of blood vessels depends, and therefore the health of the retina.
And vision, as we know, depends on the condition of the vessels of the fundus.
Doctors have named yellow bell peppers as the most useful in this regard.
It contains three daily norms of vitamin C. Red pepper contains two, and green pepper contains one.
