Peaches and your Health
Peaches and their close relatives, nectarines, are a good source of vitamin C and also provide useful amounts of beta-carotene and fiber.
Dried peaches, which are much higher in calories, are also higher in nutrients: a 3 1/2-ounce serving provides about 100 percent of the RDA for iron, plus a hefty dose of potassium, carotenes, and niacin.
Many people think that if certain foods are good, a lot is better.
This is not always the case, and high doses of certain food are actually toxic.
Read about the healthy food, research the vitamins and minerals and check with your health care provider if you are unsure about how much to eat and how much may be too much.
The best way to get the daily requirement of 13 essential vitamins is to eat a balanced diet that contains a variety of foods and take a "Standardized" (quality) multivitamin supplement.
