The anti-aging effect of green pepper is mainly due to antioxidant components such as vitamin C, β-carotene, and vitamin E. These components can be expected to remove active oxygen in the body, prevent skin aging, spots and wrinkles, and help collagen production to maintain skin firmness. In particular, red peppers, which are richer in vitamins than green peppers, can be expected to have a higher effect.

Bell pepper is low in calories and carbohydrates, and is rich in dietary fiber and vitamins, so it is effective for dieting. Dietary fiber gives a feeling of fullness, prevents overeating, and has the effect of eliminating constipation by intestinal regulation. In addition, ingredients such as pyrazine contained have the function of improving blood flow and suppressing fat accumulation, supporting the overall body building and body care from the inside of the body.

... Read moreチンジャオロースは伝統的には肉を使う料理ですが、ダイエット中やヘルシー志向の方には肉なしのレシピがおすすめです。私自身もこのレシピで何度か作っていますが、野菜の旨味がしっかり感じられ、ごま油の香りとオイスターソースのコクがアクセントになって満足感があります。 特に赤・緑・クリーム色のピーマンの組み合わせは見た目も鮮やかで食欲をそそります。ナスやじゃがいもも食感の違いを楽しめるため飽きにくいです。野菜を千切りにして炒めるだけの簡単調理なので忙しい日にもぴったり。 ピーマンはダイエット効果だけでなくアンチエイジングにも役立つビタミンCや抗酸化物質を多く含みます。特に赤ピーマンは緑ピーマンに比べて栄養価が高いため、積極的に取り入れたい野菜です。血流改善や脂肪蓄積抑制効果のある成分も含まれているので、体の内側からボディメイクをサポートします。 調味料は控えめな量でもしっかり旨味が出るので、塩分が気になる方も安心です。にんにくとしょうがの風味で満足感がアップし、飽きずに続けられます。作った料理は冷めても美味しいので、お弁当や作り置きにも最適。 また、佐藤健さんのダイエットメニューなど、近年人気のゆる痩せスタイルにもマッチした一品。鶏ガラスープの素で旨味をプラスしつつ、低脂質・低糖質をキープできるので、健康と美容の両面を意識したい方におすすめです。
