Bell peppers are regularly eaten and served up in the kitchen in many stir fry dishes. This is a beneficial habit given that bell peppers may provide the body with powerful anti-cancer protection, inflammation treatment, injury and wound healing, immune system health boosting, and more. They are safe to eat frequently and do not carry the same laxative effects as hot peppers when eating too many in a short period of time.
