18. Bell Peppers

Bright red bell peppers are particularly high in antioxidants compared to other colors of peppers, although all varieties have nutritional benefits. Sweet bell peppers contain a chemical compound, capsaicin, which has anti-inflammatory effects.

You can also get capsaicin from chili peppers and cayenne pepper, so a little spice might end up having some rather nice side effects.
