(NaturalNews) Peaches offer a wide variety of health benefits. Providing relief for diseases like hypokalemia, cancer, obesity, cholesterol, blood stasis and neurodegenerative diseases, peaches are loaded with an abundance of essential nutrients and naturally occurring antioxidants.

Also a rich provider of vitamin A, beta-carotene and vitamin C, peaches have long been revered for their medicinal properties. Used in Chinese cultures as a symbol of longevity and immortality, peaches are also low in calories, contain zero cholesterol or saturated fats, and have an abundance of natural dietary fibers.

Peaches also contain high levels of multiple vitamins, including vitamin E, vitamin K, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin B3, vitamin B-6 folate and pantothenic acid, as well as being a "rich treasure of minerals" like potassium, magnesium, iron and manganese.

Health benefits of peaches

Peaches' antioxidant rich peels and pulps have been found to help eliminate oxygen-derived free radicals and boost the body's immune system, counteracting harmful side-effects associated with various diseases, as well as preventing pregnancy complications and digestive orders, among many other benefits.

Hypokalemia, a disease triggered by insufficient levels of potassium in the blood, can cause severe loss of muscle strength and an irregular heartbeat. The high content of potassium in peaches has been found to help treat and prevent hypokalemia and its associative symptoms.

Organic peaches found to fight cancer

Rich in phenolic and carotenoid compounds, peaches have also been known to help fight various types of cancer, such as colon cancer, breast cancer and lung cancer. The abundance of chlorogenic acid and neochlorogenic acid present in peaches help prevent the growth of tumors, as well as providing other cancer fighting properties.

According to Organic Facts, "Studies have supported the fact that chlorogenic acid and neochlorogenic acid present in peaches exert beneficial effects in inhibiting the growth of breast cancer cells without affecting the normal cells, unlike cancer treatment with chemotherapy, which negatively affects healthy cells as well."

High levels of vitamin C in peaches have significant benefits for skin health. Having been a staple of the cosmetics industry for decades, flavonoids present in peaches help hydrate and revitalize the skin, while ridding the body of dead skin cells.

Peaches' rich concentration of beta-carotene has also been linked to helping stave off diseases associated with age-related vision loss, such as macular degeneration. According to Organic Facts, when beta-carotene is ingested into the body, it is turned into Vitamin A, which "plays an important role in maintaining healthy eyesight and prevents various eye diseases."

Furthermore, bioactive components in peaches have even been shown to combat obesity-related disorders, by providing aid in fighting adverse metabolic syndromes which can lead to other serious health-related concerns.

The health benefits associated with the surplus of naturally occurring vitamins and minerals in peaches are plentiful. Aside from the ones listed above, peaches have also been linked to aiding in nervous system disorders, detoxification and overall cellular health.
