Freshness Test
A good Green or Red Pepper is slightly shiny. Ideally, look for Green and Red Peppers that have not been waxed.
Important
Both Green and Red Peppers are considered a green juice. Therefore, you will find it beneficial to have no more than about ¼ of your juice consisting of green juice.
Since Green and Red Peppers have a strong flavor, you may want to reduce the amount used. You may find that ¼ of a pepper is all that is needed.
Do not confuse Green or Red Peppers with the hot and spicy peppers such as jalapenos. You do not want to juice the hot and spicy peppers.
General
I personally prefer Red Peppers to Green Peppers.
Red Peppers are Green Peppers that have been allowed to ripen fully. A pepper will not ripen any more once picked. Therefore, Red Peppers are allowed to ripen on the vine. Red Peppers will contain more Vitamin C and Vitamin A than Green Peppers.
You can also use Yellow or Black Peppers. These are simply different varieties of peppers. But generally speaking both Yellow and Black Peppers cost more.

Have you been wanting to do hatha yoga (stretching) but have found it either too difficult or you are not that flexible? If yes, and even if no, watch Jesse do some pure hatha yoga routines.
Unlike flow yoga
, each pose in pure or traditional hatha yoga is held for a few minutes. While holding the pose, you focus the mind on the stretch. When you focus the mind, that's when you find silence.
Jesse is not flexible — never has been and probably never will be flexible like others. But it doesn't matter. In pure hatha yoga, how flexible you are makes no difference. It's all about loving the pose and focussing the mind on the stretch.
If you want to learn pure hatha yoga, now you can by following Jesse on a series of hatha yoga routines.
