It is also good for constipation because pepper are a mild laxative, and are anti-flatulent. And because it contain very few carbohydrates or calories, peppers are well tolerated by diabetics and suitable for the diets of the obese.
Because of the extraordinary richness of antioxidant vitamins (A and C) in the pepper, which protect the cells from the mutagenic action of carcinogens, regular pepper consumption contributes to the prevention of cancer, particularly of the digestive organs.
