I prefer Nectarines, but after reading this article, I phoned my pretty wife, Terri, who is 'out and about' to please pick up about 6 peaches for us. For the record, I don't just Believe everything I read, but stuff like THIS makes sense to me ! A 'close relative' who is smart in nutrition and curative organic things just told me what I should and should not eat, and so I just sent her a great, DEFINED KJV BIBLE, and 2 jars of pure, organic, raw Honey, as a present. I love to do those things when I can afford it.
I can 'feel it in my bones, and guts' that September and October, will be important "pivoting" months, with so much happening in MY life, and in the World !! For some odd reason, many tragic things have happened in my life at this seasonal change. All I have to do is to pick up my private Diary/ Journal and look back. Bingo! And for this reason, every Fall of the year, I tread slowly and carefully, not to trip over something and break bones or what ever, and drive very carefully. I also heard that it's harder to see the other guy/ auto at this time of the year, and way U.P. North where we live, the trees are already turning colors ! ! Wow! Although today and this past week were unduly Hot and Humid... kind of uncomfortable. But I was just checking my old Journal as saw that last year, 2014 -- January, we had --21 below zero weather, here.
Enjoy Peaches, while they last !
Warm Regards,
Tom

Peaches are nature's chosen snacks, thanks in part to the many health benefits they contain. The delicious fruits are excellent sources of iron, potassium, magnesium, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and many cancer-fighting antioxidant properties. They can be eaten raw, blended with other health foods as a smoothie, or used as a main ingredient for baking such as desserts like peach cobblers and pies.
You won't believe the numerous health benefits these magical, juicy fruits contain! They are great for losing weight, essential for maintaining healthy blood pressure and can even prevent cancer. You'll definitely want to include them in your diet plan after reading about their amazing health benefits!
10 Incredible Health Benefits of Peaches:
1) Promotes Healthy Skin - Peaches contain high levels of vitamins A and C, which are vital for maintaining proper skin health. Vitamin C acts as a powerful antioxidant to fight off harmful free radical cells, while Vitamin A moisturizes the skin. You can even rub the fruit against your skin to get rid of wrinkles and dark circles.
2) Helps to Prevent Cancer - A peach a day can actually help lower the risk for lung, colon and oral cancers. Peaches contain phenolic acids, which help prevent breast cancer. The acids neutralize the dangerous carcinogenic cell lines before they grow and spread throughout the body.
3) Prevents Heart Disease - Peaches can significantly decrease heart disease by killing off the free radicals that can lead to heart attacks and strokes. Peaches also help regulate a normal heart rate and keep blood pressure in check. It's no wonder why peaches are the chosen snack!
4) Great for Weight Loss - Peaches should be part of everyone's dietary intake. They are great sources of vitamin C, and contain only 68 calories! So skip the sugary candy bars and go for this sweet tasting fruit instead. You can slice a peach up and add it to your oatmeal, yogurt or salads, for a very interesting taste.
5) Protects Eye Vision - Did you know that peaches actually improve your vision? The beta-carotene found inside the delicious fruits protect your retinas from free radical cell damage, and minimizes the risk for macular degeneration. The carotenoids help guard against other eye diseases, such as night blindness and cataracts.
6) Controls Blood Pressure - The powerful phenolic properties contained inside the peaches are used to fight off oxidation, and promote HDL cholesterol levels (the good guys). The high content of beta-carotene, found in the ripe fruit, also aids in healthy blood flow in the body. The potassium helps you maintain normal blood pressure levels as well.
7) Protects Against Anemia - People who suffer from the iron deficient disease can reap the health benefits of peaches. Peaches help increase the production of hemoglobin in the bloodstream, which combats fatigue and drowsiness symptoms. Those two symptoms are most commonly attributed to the disease.
8) Reduces Inflammation - Peaches help prevent symptoms of redness, swelling and joint discomfort, since they contain extremely high levels of anti-inflammatory components. There are a bunch of anti-inflammatory foods we spoke about in great depth, to protect against various bone diseases. Here are 13 Effective Remedies Against Arthritis.
9) Promotes Healthy Teeth - Peaches are rich in fluoride, which is a vital component for healthy bones and teeth. Fluoride is also essential for prevention of caries, and can even spare you a painful trip to the dentist! Peaches also contain natural sugars, which are healthier substitutes for calorie-dense junk food products.
10) Prevents Bone Disorders - Peaches help treat joint disorders, such as rheumatism and gout, due to the high levels of vitamin A. Peaches combined with ginger, offers a natural soothing remedy to eliminate discomfort and aches in the joints. Here is a recipe for an anti-inflammatory ginger peach smoothie, which is extremely simple to prepare:
