Health Benefits of Peaches
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, one raw, medium peach weighing around five ounces has 58 calories. It provides about 6% of the daily recommendation of vitamin A, 15% of vitamin C, and 2% of vitamins E, K, niacin, folate, iron, choline, phosphorus, magnesium, manganese, zinc, and copper. A single peach also supplies nine milligrams of calcium and 287 milligrams of potassium.

Maintaining a diet rich in fruit can promote a healthy heart. Peaches can lower factors that often lead to heart disease and other cardiovascular conditions. Certain studies suggest that peaches can bind to bile acids that the liver produces from cholesterol. The body eventually excretes these, lowering cholesterol levels. Research involving rats reported that peaches may lower levels of angiotensin II, a hormone that raises blood pressure.

To combat invading pathogens, the body releases histamine as part of the immune response. While these histamines help protect the body, they also trigger common allergy symptoms like sneezing, coughing, and itching. Peaches may inhibit the release of histamines, reducing symptoms from overactive immune systems. They may also limit inflammation that occurs as part of the immune response.

Peach skin and flesh are rich in antioxidants like carotenoids, polyphenols, and caffeic acid, which have anti-cancer effects. Peach polyphenols may possess the ability to kill cancer cells without damaging healthy cells. Other studies proved that polyphenols in the fruit inhibited the growth of specific breast cancer cells.

Peaches and aging
Peaches contain high levels of the carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin. Numerous studies have confirmed that increasing lutein levels could reduce the progression of age-related macular degeneration. Other research indicates that increased intake of carotenoids could prevent the development of cataracts. Additionally, vitamin A deficiencies can lead to many different eye conditions. Peaches are a rich source of vitamin A.
