Benefits
Peach tea has a great effect on coughing, against morning sickness, nausea, delayed menstruation, bronchitis, controlling blood pressure and fighting pain caused by rheumatism and also helps in constipation, relieve edema and prevent weight gain. With this, it promotes healthy and fast weight loss.
The antioxidant substances present in peaches, such as beta-carotene, lutein and zeaxanthin, help especially to protect the health of the eyes. This is because beta-carotene turns into vitamin A, which prevents night blindness and conjunctivitis; and lutein and zeaxanthin reduce the risk of cataracts and infections.
