Both hot and sweet peppers may enhance weight-loss efforts. Research has shown that capsaicin—the substance that gives hot red peppers (or chilies) their kick, and boosts our metabolism—keeps immature fat cells from developing into full-fledged ones.

Another benefit of capsaicin: A study in the British Journal of Nutrition showed that adding hot chilis to daily meals may protect against the buildup ofcholesterol in the blood

Half a cup (125 mL) of chopped red or yellow sweet peppers  has almost double your daily needs of vitamin C (green ones also contain lots). That’s a crucial nutrient: Researchers at the University  in England found that study participants who were in the lowest category of vitamin C intake had more than a three-fold increased risk of inflammatory arthritis compared to those with the highest intake.
