🍑 Celebrate National Peach Month with Flavor, Wellness & Fresh Ideas 🍑
August is National Peach Month—a time to savor the sweet, sun-kissed fruit that’s been a symbol of summer for generations. Whether you're biting into a juicy peach at a farmer’s market or blending it into a smoothie, this stone fruit is more than just delicious—it’s packed with nutrients and versatility.
Why Peaches Deserve the Spotlight
Designated by President Reagan in 1982, National Peach Month honors the fruit’s cultural and agricultural significance. Georgia may be the Peach State, but peaches thrive across the U.S., especially in warm climates like Arizona. And they’re not just tasty—they’re incredibly good for you:
- Low in calories: One medium peach has about 50–70 calories
- Rich in vitamins: High in Vitamin C, A, E, and K
- Digestive support: About 2–3g of fiber per peach
- Heart-healthy: Contains polyphenols that may reduce cholesterol and blood pressure
- Skin benefits: Antioxidants help retain moisture and promote a healthy glow
At FYZICAL Therapy & Balance Centers, Superstition Springs, we believe that nutrition plays a vital role in recovery, energy, and overall wellness.
