Peach juice has been a beloved health drink for thousands of years and remained popular because of its rich supply of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, in addition to its sweet and refreshing taste. But there’s just so much more to it than just being refreshing. Having one glass, without any sugar, serves you well as it gives a major boost to a wholesome lifestyle! Let’s jump right into why it is considered as a major super drink you should be having often!
Anticancer Potential
Studies suggest that white-fleshed peach has the ability to increase the metabolism of toxins which are present in the body as a result of smoking. This helps in eliminating them as early as possible and protecting the healthy tissue from the harmful effects of nicotine, which can result in lung cancer.
Prevents Aging
The anti-aging properties of vitamin E and other antioxidants are well known, as they can help eliminate free radicals from the surface of the skin, decreasing the appearance of wrinkles and other age spots. This juice can also soothe inflammatory conditions and improve the tone and glow of the skin.
Weight Loss
As one of the lowest-calorie fruit juices, there are only 60 calories in a single cup of peach juice, which can make a great weight-loss diet. You will get a necessary burst of nutrients, without taking up too many calories for the day.
Relieves Inflammatory Conditions
Whether you are suffering from arthritis, gout, migraines or an upset stomach, the numerous minerals and antioxidants in the peach juice will help soothe those tissues and even prevent histamine releases in the case of allergic reactions.
Detoxifies the Body
In the 16th century apricots were regarded as having aphrodisiac qualities as suggested by Shakespeare in A Midsummer Nights Dream. “Be kind and courteous to this gentleman. Hop in his walk and gambol in his eyes. Feed him with apricots and dewberries, with purple grapes, green figs and mulberries.”
The Celebs are Lovin It!
Boosts Immunity
Providing a high level of vitamin C and vitamin A, along with lutein, lycopene and other antioxidants, this juice will work as an excellent line of defense against any foreign pathogens attempting to infect the body.
Improved Vision
Beta-carotene is found in high levels in peace juice and can help to reduce oxidative stress in your retina, thus preventing macular degeneration and slowing the onset of cataracts as you age.
Regulates Sleep Disorders
Peach juice does have mild sedative qualities, making it a popular juice to have right before bed. Certain minerals, enzymes, and antioxidants are able to balance hormone levels and induce the release of “feel-good” hormones that can lull you into peaceful, uninterrupted slumber.
