| Eat crunchy and colorful bell peppers |
Bell peppers are full of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory nutrients. They are rich in Vitamin C, Vitamin A, B-complex vitamins, and essential minerals including iron and manganese. Green, yellow, red, and orange bell peppers can be found at your favorite local grocery store or farmer's market. They are delicious raw in salads or added to your favorite cooked dishes.Need a recipe idea? Try Fajita Stir Fry
