Benefits of Peaches

Zoe protein drink is bottled with 100% organic peach nectar. We work with local family farms here in Colorado to source all of our peaches. Harvest typically starts the first part of July. All of the peaches are brought to our facility to be cleaned and processed. We take the peach core out and finely chop the peaches. The peaches go through a filter to make sure the size of the resulting nectar is consistent. At this point we fill 5 gallon pails which are then frozen until we need it to make Zoe. The Benefits of Organic Peaches, Prevents constipation Combats cancer Helps stop strokes Aids digestion Helps hemorrhoids Boosts your immune system, Peaches are diuretic, depurative and detoxifying so they are wonderful to eat on a weight - loss program; The body assimilates peaches very easily; Indicated to help lung debility, liver infections, cancer ulcers, herpes rheumatic pain, arterial hypertension and anaemia;
Peaches are high in vitamin A and C. Flash freezing traps nutrients and phytochemicals immediately after harvest while the produce is at its peak. Keeps Your Colon Clean. Peaches are more than 80 percent water and are a good source of dietary fiber. This combination makes them a perfect remedy for constipation. One medium size peach has 7 percent of the dietary fiber you need each day. Adding fruits like peaches to your diet can keep you regular and prevent straining during bowel movements. Straining has been linked to hemorrhoids, diverticular disease, hiatal hernia and even varicose veins. Peaches are low in calories and one 100 g peach provides almost three quarters of the daily vitamin C requirement. The fruit has a gentle laxative effect. Peaches are also rich in iron and potassium.
Strikes out Cancer. A study in China showed that men and women who ate peaches more than twice a week had less risk of developing cancers of the mouth than those who did not eat peaches. This study focused on oral cancer, but peaches, like other fruits and vegetables with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, are a good way to steer clear of all kinds of cancers. Peaches already rank high in some types of phytochemicals. Preliminary results from a test conducted by Byrne and Dr. Luis Cisneros-Zevallos, Experiment Station food technologist, showed that peaches have good to excellent antioxidant activity, some antimicrobial activity and good to excellent tumor growth inhibition activity. We use only the best organic peaches in Zoe. Check us out online to learn more about Zoe protein drink
