You may think of an orange as the ultimate vitamin C star, but bell peppers are also packed with the immune-boosting nutrient. While most people think of vitamin C primarily as a cold fighter, the vitamin can help promote healthy skin and hair. It also increases the absorption of plant-based iron often found in leafy greens, beans and nuts; not getting enough iron has been associated with hair loss. Try munching on raw bell pepper strips for a snack, or add them to salads, pastas or egg dishes. |
