Benefits of Bell Peppers: High consumption of fruits and vegetables has been linked to a reduced risk of many chronic illnesses, such as cancer and heart disease. Lutein and zeaxanthin — carotenoids found in relatively high amounts in bell peppers — may improve eye health when consumed in adequate amounts. Not only are red bell peppers a decent source of iron, they are also exceptionally rich in vitamin C, which increases the absorption of iron from your gut.

Benefits of Beans: Eating beans and other legumes regularly may help reduce your risk of heart disease. A diet rich in beans and other legumes can significantly lower LDL (bad) cholesterol, which is an important risk factor for heart disease. Evidence suggests that beans may benefit people with diabetes. Beans are high in fiber, averaging around 5–8 grams per serving. They also have a very low glycemic index (GI) Low-GI foods raise blood sugar slowly, which is important for managing diabetes. Thus, a diet rich in beans can lower blood sugar and HbA1c levels, which measure blood sugar control over time.
