Benefits: Heart + Immunity + Brain & Vision + Anti-Aging Beauty

Here you've got a tasty recipe that is low fat, heart-healthy, and good for your circulation. It comes from a Chinese colleague, whose family owned and operated Chinese seafood restaurants for years. This is what they had the chef prepare for them almost every evening when they sat down for dinner. Besides its wonderful taste, it's also a beautiful dish with the colorful peppers.

Cooks' Note

Tangy and crunchy, bell peppers come in a rainbow of colors. They are packed with vitamins C and A, two antioxidants that work together to neutralize free radicals. Their content of beta-carotene, the vitamin A precursor, supports vision health and skin regeneration. Among many beneficial vitamins, peppers contain vitamin B6 , folic acid, and fiber—all helpful for protection against hardening of the arteries and heart disease. Compared with green peppers, red peppers contain more vitamins and nutrients, especially lycopene, a carotenoid that can help protect against certain cancers such as prostate and cervical cancers.
