Improve Heart Health

Consuming fruit on a regular basis, particularly peaches, may benefit heart health. Peaches may reduce heart disease risk factors such as high blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Furthermore, research suggests that peaches may bind to bile acids, which are substances created by the liver from cholesterol. The bound bile acids, along with the cholesterol they contain, are eventually expelled through your feces, which may aid in the reduction of blood cholesterol levels.

Peaches may lower total and "bad" LDL cholesterol levels, as well as blood pressure and triglyceride levels, according to additional test-tube and animal research. Peach juice may reduce levels of the hormone angiotensin II, which elevates blood pressure, according to research on obese rats. While these results appear promising, additional research is required to validate them in humans.
