Yellow Peach (Uni)

Description

Peaches have several health benefits, such as improving bowel function and reducing fluid retention, as well as helping with weight loss, as they are low in calories and promote a feeling of fullness.

The benefits of this fruit are due to its vitamin content and its skin, which is edible and rich in fiber. For peaches to benefit, it is recommended that they be eaten with the skin on, and that large quantities of peaches in syrup be avoided, as this contains added sugar.

Health benefits of peaches

Peaches are a typical summer fruit, low in calories and rich in vitamins, easy to store, transport, and eat anywhere. The main health benefits of peaches include:

Help you lose weight, because it has few calories and increases the feeling of satiety;

Improve bowel function, because it contains fiber and plenty of water, which combats constipation;

Prevent diseases such as cancer and heart problems, as it is rich in antioxidants such as vitamins A and C;

Help control diabetes, because it has a low glycemic index and does not increase blood sugar;

Improve eye health, because it contains beta-carotene, a nutrient that prevents cataracts and macular degeneration;

Improve mood, because it is rich in magnesium, a mineral that helps to relax and control blood pressure;

Combat fluid retention, as it has a diuretic effect.

It is important to remember that the benefits are normally related to the consumption of fresh fruit with skin, and the consumption of large quantities of peaches in syrup is not recommended, as it has added sugar and, therefore, has no health benefits.
