KELI’S NUTRITIONAL INFO
Red pepper is rich in vitamin C, vitamin K1, vitamin E, vitamin A, beta carotene, folate, and potassium. Vitamin C is an essential water-soluble nutrient for the immune system’s overall health and functionality; an adequate amount should, therefore, be regularly added to the diet.
Vitamin C stimulates the production and activity of the proteins released from the white blood cells in the immune system, neutrophils, phagocytes, and lymphocytes cells, transmitting information to other cells to promote the immune response. Vitamin C increases these white blood cell mobility, productivity, and phagocytic processes that protect the body by ingesting harmful foreign particles such as dying or dead cells, bacteria, etc. The concentration of vitamin C in these cells is much higher than the plasma white blood cells of the immune system. It is involved in apoptosis which is a form of programmed cell death that occurs in multicellular organisms and then removes those cells by macrophages. These are white blood cell that kills microorganisms, removes dead cells from infection sites, and stimulate other immune system cells’ action.
