Day 58: Just Peachy

Peaches provide a good source of carotenes and flavonoids (antioxidants), potassium (electrolytes), and natural sugars. They also provide a healthy source of lycopene and lutein. Lutein gives the red, orange, and yellow colors to fruits and vegetables. These phytochemicals are especially beneficial in the prevention of heart disease, macular degeneration, and cancer.
