Vitamin C to help your body fight sickness

Antioxidants that fight damage in your body

Peaches Help Your Tummy
Peaches have fiber that helps your stomach work better. Fiber keeps things moving and can stop you from feeling bloated or constipated. Peach flowers are also used in some natural medicines to help with digestion.
-
Good for Your Heart
Eating peaches may help lower your blood pressure and cholesterol. That’s good news for your heart. Peach juice has even been shown in some studies to lower a hormone that can raise blood pressure.
-
Healthy Skin and Fewer Wrinkles
Peaches can help your skin stay moist and smooth. Some parts of the peach plant may protect your skin from sun damage, too. If you want skin that glows, add more peaches to your plate.
-
May Help Fight Cancer
Peaches are full of natural plant compounds that may slow the growth of cancer cells. These are found mostly in the skin and flesh of the fruit. Some studies also show peaches might help lower the risk of breast or colon cancer. While more research is needed, it’s a hopeful sign.
-
Fights Allergies and Boosts Immunity
Peaches may help with allergy symptoms like sneezing or itchy skin. They can block the release of things in your body that cause allergic reactions. Thanks to their vitamin C and antioxidants, peaches also help your body fight off illness and stay strong.
