Millions of people eat a variety of bell peppers on a daily basis, but did you know if you juiced green bell peppers you will feed your body with the trace mineral silicon? This amazing trace mineral is needed for healthy nails, beautiful hair, healthy skin and strong bones.
The trace mineral silicon is important for daily health. The deficiency symptoms of silicon are quite apparent as they are closely associated with the connective tissues. Along with the poor development of bones, this deficiency also causes thinning of the hair, brittleness of nails, and formation of wrinkles and general aging of the skin. Besides green bell peppers, some other important sources of silicon are apples, cereals, raw cabbage, peanuts, carrots, onions, cucumber, pumpkin, fish, unrefined grains, oats, almonds and oranges. Truthfully, I’ve never been a bell pepper lover so the other food choices are perfect me and possibly for you too! Benefits of Silicon: Prevents Thinning Hair: Alopecia, or thinning of hair, is caused due to the intake of a refined diet that lacks nutrients, specifically silicon.

Prevents Brittle Nails: Silicon plays a very significant role in the maintenance of nail health. Silicon helps in improving the quality of nails and protecting them against several nail infections so your fingers remain attractive and strong. Prevents Deformities in Bones: Silicon has been found to play a vital role in assisting calcium for the growth and maintenance of joints and bones. It induces flexibility in the bones by increasing the amount of collagen, which is the protein component of bones. It also increases the rate of healing of bone dislocations and fractures. Maintains Skin Appearance: Silicon prevents the skin from becoming flabby and restores the natural glow of the skin. It helps in brightening the eyes as well. It also prevents several serious skin problems.
