Can you imagine summer without the sweet, juicy taste of a PEACH? Of course not and that's why it's all about the peaches this month at JuiceVibes. A peach, termed "The Fruit of Calmness", is a Chinese symbol for longevity and immortality. Also known as a Persian Apple, this nutrient dense fruit is loaded with plant compounds that help fight cell damage and give a radiant glow to your skin. Some studies have even shown that the aroma of a peach can have an analgesic effect that acts as an antidepressant.
