PEACH TEA

Commercially-prepared peach tea contains very little nutritional value. However, if you prepare peach tea from scratch using the fruit pulp and peel, peach tea is a rich source of vitamins and minerals.

Research has found several potential health benefits to consuming the pulp and peel of peaches: 

Cancer Prevention

Peaches are an excellent source of antioxidants. One study determined that consuming peach peels offers the highest level of anticancer phytochemicals, which are plant nutrients important for human nutrition. Antioxidants protect cells from free radical damage that can lead to cancer. 

Protect Against Damage from Smoking

Nicotine causes tissue damage and can lead to heart disease, lung disease, and cancer. Researchers found that consuming white-fleshed peach extract could reduce oxidative damage to these organs. The white-fleshed peach extract increased nicotine metabolism and excretion from the bodies of smokers.

Anti-Inflammatory Benefits

Peaches contain carotenoid s, which are plant pigments that act as antioxidants in the body. Carotenoids reduce the risks of cancer, eye disease, and atherosclerosis by providing the body with various nutrients such as vitamin A.

Obesity Management

Peach blossom tea is used in various cultures for weight loss. One study discovered that peach blossom phytochemicals resulted in anti-obesity effects on laboratory mice. The mice were fed peach blossom water for eight weeks and demonstrated reduced body weight, less abdominal fat, and lower glucose levels. However, it is unknown whether peach blossom flowers have the same effect on people with obesity.
