 Health benefits of Green peppers:

    a number of bodily functions, from metabolism, to immune and nervous 
    system health.
3. Green bell peppers are also a good source of antoxidants which may help 
    protect our cells from damage.

     reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes probably due to their content 
    of substances such as vitamin "c", capasaicin, and flavonoids.
