To feel in top shape and to better flush out toxins, your body needs to be regularly rehydrated, particularly when subjected to summer heat. With an 87% water content, the peach is an excellent source of natural hydration. It also helps remineralize your body and plays a part in rebalancing internal systems.

When peaches are available when perfectly ripe, their fiber is very tender and gently promotes the body`s proper functioning.

Of all stone fruits, nectarines are the highest in vitamin C, with 20 mg per 100 g. Peaches provide 8 to 10 mg, or 10-12% of the recommended daily allowance. These fruits also supply the antioxidant properties of vitamin E, as well as niacin, a component of vitamin B3 which promotes proper blood circulation.

Peaches are a beauty essential if you wish to keep a peach complexion all summer long!

Peach extracts are recognized in cosmetics for their softening and revitalizing properties. Their numerous vitamins (A, B, C, E) give them a regenerative and protective power that strengthens the skin`s resistance and tone. That`s why peaches are also often part of the main active ingredients in skin exfoliants, beauty masks, make up and revitalizing cream.

Rich in vitamin A (carotene), the peach promotes tanning and contributes to a glowing complexion! Just one yellow-fleshed peach provides 50% of the recommended daily intake of vitamin A.

Peaches are also your figure`s ally! With only 40 calories each, the peach is a low-cal food that should be part of a balanced diet.

A "peaches and cream" complexion isn't just a saying… today, as in the past, a crushed peach applied to the face as a mask will restore skin's youthful velvety softness.
