Peach Salad

This summer fruit may be my favorite food to eat, and it's definitely my favorite emoji to use. You know, because I love squats! ; )

This sweet, juicy fruit has a lot to offer, with a wide range of nutrients including:

• Antioxidants like lutein, zeaxathin, beta-crytoxanthin... OK, these are a lot of big words. To simplify, the antioxidants in peaches protect your body against harmful effects of various diseases. They also keep your skin looking beautiful and young!  
• Potassium, for electrolyte balance and the regulation of muscular tissues. 
• Vitamin C, which protects your skin and immune system from infections. 
• Just like carrots, they have beta-carotene, for eye health. 
• High in fiber for maintaining good digestion. 
• Iron for the formation of hemoglobin in red blood cells. 
• Calcium and phosphorous, for maintaining strong bones and teeth.
• Zinc for anti-aging properties. 
• AND SO MUCH MORE! 

So basically, you need to EAT DEM PEACHES! Here is a yummy recipe to help add this nutritious fruit to your belly.
