💚The Healthy Bit: Peaches 💚

Peaches are a good source of fiber which aids digestion and can help prevent constipation. Make sure to eat the skin of your peach as it increases the fiber content. The potassium in peaches can help regulate blood pressure and the antioxidants can help lower cholesterol, reduce the risk of heart disease, and protect against UV damage. Peaches also contain vitamins A and C which are important for maintaining healthy skin and promoting collagen production. Vitamin C in particular boosts the immune system.
