Peaches - How Many Calories?

Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Peaches

• Metabolic Effect: Peaches have a low glycemic index, providing steady energy without causing sharp spikes in blood sugar. The natural fructose they contain is efficiently used as fuel, especially by physically active individuals.
• Consumption Recommendation: Eating 1-2 medium peaches per day significantly contributes to meeting your daily vitamin C and vitamin A needs. Consuming them with the skin on increases fiber intake and supports digestive health.
• Caution: Canned peaches and peach juices can be considerably higher in calories due to added sugars, so fresh fruit is always the healthier choice. Individuals with fructose sensitivity should keep portions below 100 grams and gradually increase consumption.
• Exercise: Eating a peach before a workout provides quickly digestible carbohydrates that support short-term performance. After exercise, its potassium content helps reduce muscle cramps and replenish electrolyte balance.
